Types and styles of outdoor candles and holders

There are many types of outdoor candles and candle holders and some of the most popular in New Zealand include the following:

Tea light

These are the most used holders seen in homes across New Zealand. They’re made to hold small candles, creating a cosy and romantic mood.

Lantern

Lanterns are always popular, both as indoor and outside candle holders. They’re also one of the safest options, protecting the flame from wind and rain.

Hurricane

These tall holders are designed to prevent the flame from being accidentally put out. They’re often paired with long-lasting outdoor pillar candles, burning for several hours straight.

Scented

Scented outdoor candles are great for all the senses, creating a pleasing aroma for you and your guests to enjoy throughout the evening.

Votive

Votive holders are similar to tea light holders, although they’re a little taller. They usually have colourful and patterned designs that go well with most outside spaces.

Wall holders

Wall holders are not only one of the most modern options, but also a design statement. Since they’re placed on a wall, they act as a form of functional outdoor wall decor as well.

The advantages of high-quality outdoor candles and holders

There are many advantages to choosing high-quality outdoor candles and holders in New Zealand that make them well worth your while. When you prioritise quality, you’ll get a product made with a superior type of wax and cotton wick, increasing their resistance to rain and wind. They’ll also shine brighter and emit more smoke which can help repel bugs. Additionally, high-quality outdoor candles have a higher melting point which makes them last longer. Outdoor candle stands and holders are also different, as they’re designed for higher protection. High-end options also tend to be designed by artisan manufacturers meaning they’ll be more sophisticated and unique in their appearance.

How to choose outdoor candles and holders that right for you

There are a number of things to take into consideration when choosing outdoor candles and holders for your home. Deciding what type of outdoor candle and holder you want is a good place to start as that will narrow the field of options. For example, you might fancy a collection of tea lights to enhance the shimmering effect around you. Similarly, you might be interested in exploring different scented candles to add another sensory element to your space. As part of this decision, thinking about the functionality of the candles is important in terms of any practical lighting needs. Aesthetics are also crucial with respect to the styling of your living area and how these options may enhance it. Some like to complement their choices with matching outdoor lanterns and torches for a more cohesive look.
