Hamptons Candle Sticks

Candle sticks add warmth and elegance to any room. In a coastal scheme, you might choose whitewashed wood candle holders or metallic (silver or brushed nickel) tapered holders. Place them on a mantel, dining table or console to create ambient lighting. For example, a pair of slender white candlesticks on a mantel framing a mirror, or a trio of silver holders on a tray with seashells, looks right at home in Hamptons decor.

Simple, clean-lined designs work best. A traditional column-style or a more sculptural candlestick (like stacked spheres or ribbed columns) in neutral or metallic tones will complement the style. Avoid overly ornate or dark-stained wood holders. Glass hurricane lanterns or lantern-style holders are another great coastal choice, as they mimic the look of lighthouses or seaside lanterns. The candles themselves are usually plain white or ivory tapers, keeping the look crisp.

Popular spots include the dining table center (often on a tray with a runner), a hallway console, or clustered on a living room coffee table. Candlesticks also look great on nightstands or in bathrooms next to the tub (on a small tray with a hand towel). They add a soft glow that complements the laid-back elegance of Hamptons style. Remember safety, of course – always use stable holders and keep flames away from fabrics or drapes.
