Believe us on this, when we say lighting plays a crucial role when it's about creating the perfect ambience for the dining experience. And what's a better way to add warmth as well as charm to your table with glass candle holders? 

Glass candle holders are versatile decor pieces that not only provide a soft, flickering light but also add a touch of elegance to any setting. In this blog, we will tell you 5 creative ways to arrange candle holders on your dining table. 

• Experiment by mix-matching the heights:

What's wrong with experimenting when it comes to home decor? This is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to create visual interest. All you have to do is mix and match candle holder heights. 

Arrange a variety of tall, medium and short glass holders across the centre of your table for a dynamic display. Furthermore, this arrangement adds depth as well as dimension to your tablescape, drawing the eye and captivating your guests. 

• Create a Centerpiece Cluster:

Make a big and dramatic statement by clustering numerous glass candle holders in the centre of your dining table. Create a visually attractive focal point by grouping candles of different shapes, sizes, and colours. Play with asymmetry, as well as, different layouts until you find the ideal composition to complement your table design.

• Line the Table Runner:

To create a luminous runway, line your dining table runner with glass candle holders. Place them evenly down the length of the runner, alternating between tall and short holders to maintain balance. Furthermore, this arrangement not only adds a bit of refinement but also directs the eye around the table, providing a sense of movement and continuity. 

• Combine natural elements 

Incorporate the elegance of glass candle holders with the freshness of natural components to create a rustic-chic effect. All you have to do is fill the glass candle stand with shallow water and place tea-light candles on delicate flower petals or floating foliage. 

To create a rustic look, scatter small pebbles or sprigs of vegetation around the holder's bases. Furthermore, this organic design adds playfulness and invites the outdoors in, resulting in a peaceful dining experience.

• Play with Reflections:

Use the magic of reflections to increase the effect of your glass candle holders. Placing the candle stands made out of glass near mirrors or metallic accessories bounces the light about the room and creates a captivating effect.  

You may even experiment with positioning candles in front or behind reflecting objects to manipulate depth, as well as, perception. Moreover, the blend of light and shadow will create a fascinating depth for your dining table, leaving your visitors enthralled.

Ways to clean glass candle holders:

1. Using warm water:

To keep your glass candle holders clean, take a container and bring water to a boil. The second step is to pour this hot water into the glass candle holder without filling it to the top. You will notice that most of the wax is rising automatically to the top of the candle holder, after sometime.

Let the water cool down and let the maximum amount of wax rise to the surface. Remove the wax effortlessly and then use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the glass candle holder.

Point to remember: You need to ensure that the wax has cooled down completely before you pour hot water into the glass candle holder to avoid any accidental cracks.

2. Vinegar or alcohol?

Hmmm, difficult choice to make! Stubborn spots that are generally left at the bottom of the glass candle holder can be removed with ease with the help of a small quantity of vinegar or even alcohol. 

But before starting this process, ensure that the wax has cooled and hardened fully. Then take a moist soft cloth or paper towel and gently rub off the residue.  

Are there any other hacks?

In case simple hot water or vinegar doesn't work, you can use a solvent used in cleaning glass windows, bleach or a drain cleaner. These substances also aid in dissolving the wax and making it easier for you to clean the glass candle holder from the inside.

Is there a way to prevent glass candle holders from turning black?

Well, if you follow the above tips, you can keep your precious-looking glass candle holders from turning black. The best practice that you can follow is trimming the wick before use.  

A trimmed sleek wick doesn't leave a lot of smoke and black residue that will automatically keep your candle holder much cleaner than before. You will be surprised to know that old glass candle holders can be repurposed similarly!
