238 Ideas by Vanessa Weber

By adding height to your tapers and bougies, floor candle holders result in a slenderer look than the smaller models you’d place on higher surfaces. This will allow you to make a stronger decorative statement and complement your interior style in a more noticeable way. If opting for multiple candles, you could place your holders in decreasing order and, especially, as asymmetrical sets of three. To emphasize their height even further, we recommend choosing a model that’s at least slightly taller than the main piece of furniture or item next to it.

Iron floor candle holders serve an essential function. As the name suggests, these fixtures can hold candles which can provide illumination during blackouts. That's something that a regular lampshade can't do. During non-emergency situations, the candles can offer the right kind of lighting to set a romantic or magical mood.

If you are planning to get an iron floor candle holder, then keep in mind that it's not smart to just purchase the first one that you see. You need to carefully consider factors that are unique to your situation, and buy accordingly. To help you with such a task, this article is going to be a buying guide for iron floor candle holders.

How to determine the right height for iron floor candle holders?

The "eye level" rule is what's usually recommended for everyday consumers. The eye level rule suggests that the candle should be about the same height as your eye level when sitting. Start by imagining where you want to place the iron floor candle holder, then locate the nearest furniture for seating. You'd want to sit on that specific chair and measure the distance between your eye level and the floor. The measurement you obtain should be the ideal height for the iron floor candle holder.

In most cases, the measurement should be around 38 inches to 42 inches. If you plan to place the candle holder behind a chair or couch, then you can get away with up to 49 inches.

How to determine the right width for your iron floor candle holder?

While the width is a critical factor, it's not complicated to determine. What you are mainly trying to avoid is having a candle holder that's too wide that it becomes an obstruction in the room. To counter this problem, just imagine where you want to place the candle holder. Make sure that at its widest, the candle holder doesn't become a hindrance to the natural foot traffic flow of the room.

What types of iron are there?

There are two basic types of iron to consider: a cast iron or a wrought iron.

Cast iron comes with higher carbon content compared to wrought iron. Thus, it's the more durable option. Since cast iron is harder to manipulate compared to wrought iron, it's costlier.
Wrought iron is the traditional material for iron floor candle holders. Hence, if you want something that comes with a high degree of authenticity, then wrought iron is an excellent choice. On the downside, wrought iron is not as durable compared to cast iron.

Iron is a material that is relatively economical, especially when you compare it to stainless steel. It also comes with that "old world" feel. However, you need to maintain your candle holder as iron is very susceptible to rust.
