Candle lamps are beautiful lighting accessories that don’t require electricity, batteries or solar energy. Most of these lamps are designed so that you can purchase almost any type of candle you prefer, as long as it’s the right size for that particular piece. So if you love scented candles, you can enjoy the soft glow of your candle in a beautiful lamp as well as the pleasing scent it puts off as it’s burning. These lamps add to the serenity and charm of almost any room.
Hurricane Candle Lamps
These styles are very popular for both candles and oil lamps. The original hurricane lamps were actually oil-burning lamps with tall cylinders of glass or metal around the flame to keep wind from extinguishing it. The style has endured through the years, and hurricane candleholders and lamps are still a favorite. The cylinders can be perfectly round, but often they’re curved and shaped into a beautiful design that sits on a decorative base. These can easily become the focal point of a mantle or table.
Candle Lamp Shades in Every Style
As with electric lighting fixtures, you can find candle lamp shades and designs that will look perfect in a modern home with pseudo-futuristic furniture, or you can find styles that belong in the country, shabby chic, art-deco, Mission or even Renaissance-themed home. The hardest part of choosing your lamps, in fact, will probably be narrowing down which ones you like best. You can find styles that blend into a room and offer a soft glow without standing out, or lamps that demand the attention of everyone in the room with their eye-catching designs. Thanks to their surging popularity, the wide selection keeps growing so there’ll be no shortage of new styles or designs anytime soon.
Where to Put Your Candle Lamp
You can use these beautiful home accessories almost anywhere. You merely need to follow the same basic precautions you would with a lit candle in a candleholder. Never put these within reach of children, and make sure that they’re safely out of the reach of pets, too. The lamps must be placed where a curious cat or a dog walking by couldn’t knock it over and risk the candle flame catching something on fire. You would never use such a lamp anywhere oxygen is in use, or anywhere that you’ve been warned against an open flame.
The Candle Warmer Lamp
If you really want a light somewhere that could be a problem with pets possibly knocking it over, choose an electric or battery-operated light, preferably an LED light that burns cool. If it’s the scent of the candle that you’re after but you can’t burn one for some reason, choose a candle warmer lamp. These have a light included that shines down on an unlit candle, to heat it and allow the scent to diffuse into the air.
