Holder Wall
Wall Candle Holder – Real or Electric
I have a cousin who lives outside of Denver, Colorado. A few weeks ago, he called me to get some information on my opinion of different types of wall candle holders for his log cabin home in the Rocky Mountains.
He was remodeling his living room and den. Because of the rustic theme of his log cabin home, he was asking me for ideas or suggestions on what might fit into the decor of these two rooms.
I told him for me to really help him in his search for the perfect wall candle holders, I would have to take the trip out to his home and have a look at what each of these rooms has in them. This way I could make an informed decision on the types of wall candle holders that would match up with the theme of each of these two rooms. Besides, I haven’t been out there for a visit in quite some time and I was eager to visit with him and enjoy the beautiful Colorado Rockies.
A few days later I had booked a flight to Denver and rented a car.
It was a Saturday morning when I pulled into his driveway. Before I left for the trip to Colorado, I jotted down a few questions on a notebook that I wanted to ask my cousin once I got to his house. These questions are basic wall candle holder questions on what type of wall candle holders he might be looking for.
The first question I asked was if he was looking for wall candle holders to hold real candles or was he looking for electric wall candle holders. Electric wall candle holders are actually electric lights with bulbs that are in the shape of a candle flame.
He told me that he was open to installing both real candle holders and electric wall candle holders. He informed me that two of the wall candle holders, being installed in the den, will be hard wired to the wiring already in the wall, but in the living room he would like to install wall candle holders that use real candles for light. This way he could use scented candles to freshen up the room.
The next thing we did was to walk into the living room and see what types of furnishings are in the room. Sometimes the smaller accents of a room’s furnishings are more compatible with wall lighting fixtures than the larger more pronounced pieces of furniture in the room.
This was a large living room. He had two large oak framed chairs and a large couch that matched. Large deep cushions filled out both the chairs and the couch. Earth tone stripes crisscrossed was the pattern of the covers for the both the chairs and couch. Also in the room are two recliners. One of the recliners is black leather and the other is micro fiber in a beautiful royal blue.
The log walls in the room gave the room a rustic feel and the stone fireplace going up the wall was the focal point of the room. The floor was a plush pile carpet in a medium brown.
I couldn’t help but notice that bronze accents were all about the room. On one wall was a bronze wall sculpture of several elk. On another wall was a large bronze metal wall art sun.
It was on the wall with the large bronze sun that he wanted to hang a wall candle holder on each side of this metal wall art. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I suggested that he should go with an open wall sconce candle holder made of wood. Something that would hold a pillar candle at least four inched in diameter and eight to ten inches tall.
The second set of wall candle holders were to be hung on the wall directly above the stone mantle of the fireplace. Here I noticed that he had wrought iron fireplace tools on a stand over to the left of the fireplace. He also had a wrought iron screen placed directly in front of the open fireplace. It was so obvious that wrought iron wall candle holders would be the perfect match for the wall above the fireplace mantle. He agreed.
So now we moved on to the den. This was a magnificent room. The floors are hardwood floors. As with all the walls in this home, they are all log walls. What struck my attention was a gray stone two sided fireplace going straight up through the ceiling, separating the den from the study. The furniture in this room was all black leather. There are five chairs, a couch and a love seat. There are also two coffee tables and five end tables. The table tops are made of black smoked glass and the framework supporting the glass was pewter.
On one wall was hanging a medium size tapestry of a mountain lake. On another wall was a large wooden wall clock about five feet in diameter. He told me that he intended to install a wall candle holder on each side of the tapestry and another set of wall candle holders on each side of the wall clock.
After looking around the room and contemplating for a while, I came to the conclusion that a wrought iron candle holder on each side of the tapestry would be the perfect solution. He liked the idea and decided to go with battery powered candle lamps.
The large wall clock already had two rather ugly hard wired wall lights on each side. He said that these two wall lamps have been an eye sore to him for quite some time. He just never got around to changing them out to something more attractive. That is when I suggested that electric pewter wall candle lanterns would improve the overall look of the room. He said that wall candle lanterns had never crossed his mind, but it was a good idea and he would make the change.
My cousin wrote down all of my suggestions. I gave him a great website that had all the information he would need to explore all the suggestions I made. Within a month my cousin had ordered all his new candle wall lighting fixtures and had them up and working brilliantly.
Wall candle holders are a small touch that has a large effect on the overall persona of a room. With a little thought to the theme of any room, these charming additions will bring out the artful creativity and personal satisfaction you are looking for…
