Coloured Candle Holders: How to Choose the Right Shade for Your Home
Coloured Glass Candle Holders by Issy Granger
At Issy Granger, we design glass candle holders to quietly transform a space.
Each piece is handblown in Egypt using traditional techniques, with coloured borosilicate glass chosen for its clarity, depth and the way it catches candlelight.
Made to hold our colourful wax dinner candles, these glass candle holders are designed to be mixed, matched and styled with ease. Whether placed along a dining table, on a mantel or beside a bed, they bring warmth and colour without feeling overdone.
Choosing a colour often comes down to instinct. Soft pink feels gentle and romantic, amber adds warmth in the evening, and green brings a fresher, more grounded feel. They also make a thoughtful gift for weddings, new homes or birthdays.
Amber Glass Candle Holders
Amber glass candle holders bring an immediate sense of warmth to a room.
The tone feels rich and familiar, almost like honey in the light, and when lit, it creates a soft, ambient glow that works beautifully in the evening.
The Amber Pebble Candle Holder
The Amber Pebble is a smaller piece in the collection, with a rounded shape inspired by naturally worn forms.
Handblown in Cairo, it’s easy to place anywhere in the home. Style it on its own for a subtle touch, or group it with other glass candle holders for a more layered look.
When lit, the amber glass diffuses the light gently, adding warmth without overpowering a space.
Pink Glass Candle Holders
Pink glass candle holders are softer than you might expect.
They add warmth without dominating a space, pairing easily with linen, wood and neutral interiors. In many ways, they act like a neutral with a little more personality.
The Ombo Pink Glass Candle Holder
The Ombo features a simple, rounded shape that feels balanced and easy to style.
Each piece is handblown, giving it a subtle individuality. When lit, the pink glass softens the glow, creating a gentle light that works well for dining tables or relaxed evenings.
It works just as well on its own as it does combined with other coloured glass candle holders.
Green Glass Candle Holders
Green glass candle holders bring depth and a sense of calm.
The tone shifts with the light, sometimes softer, sometimes richer, which gives it a natural versatility in the home.
The Buto Green Glass Candle Holder
The Buto is a more sculptural piece, with a ridged surface that catches the light throughout the day.
Handblown and finished by hand, each one is slightly unique. Its height makes it ideal for adding structure to a table or creating a focal point on a mantel.
When lit, the green glass deepens, casting a calm, atmospheric glow.
Choosing the Right Glass Candle Holders
There’s no single way to style coloured glass candle holders.
You can keep things tonal with one colour, or mix pink, amber and green for a more relaxed, layered feel.
Amber adds warmth, pink brings a soft glow, and green adds depth.
However you use them, glass candle holders are one of those small details that make a space feel warmer and more considered.
