Are you looking for a gorgeous new way to light your home? If so, an iron candle chandelier is an ideal choice for many. Not only is iron a naturally versatile, durable metal that will last you for years, but there is something special about using candles or imitation candles that create a truly special atmosphere. Here are a few things you should know before purchasing an iron candle chandelier.

One of the best things about an iron candle chandelier is that you can create thousands of different styles. Whether you want a baroque chandelier with lots of curls and flowers or a sleek and minimal modern chandelier with modern curves, an iron candle chandelier is the perfect choice for many. Best of all, they're relatively low maintenance as well—in most cases, cleaning is a simple matter of dusting or vacuuming.

Rust on Iron Candle Chandelier

However, as iron does have a tendency to rust if left in warm, humid surroundings, it's a good idea to add a coating of rust prevention solution every so often just to be safe. As with any chandelier, be sure to unplug it and remove the bulbs when doing any cleaning to prevent electrocution.

The candles are another important aesthetic aspect of your chandelier. Whether you choose to use real candles or imitation electric ones, they create an antiquated look that can put a new twist on even modern designs. There are advantages to using either. Electric candles allow you to enjoy the look of real candles, but without the hazards. Real candles, on the other hand, create a unique flickering glow and saves you on power bills.

Using Real Candles on Your Iron Candle Chandelier

However, if you decide to use real candles, there are a few precautionary measures you should take beforehand. First, make absolutely sure that your steel candle chandelier isn't hanging too close to your ceiling, as the candles may scorch it, resulting in black marks.

Try to invest in candles that are manufactured specifically not to drip wax, as no one likes having hot wax dripping down from above. Additionally, it's a good idea to take measures to make sure your candles aren't in danger of falling—many achieve this by attaching fixtures that allow them to firmly press the candle onto a point, such as a nail or a pin. If you can't invest in non dripping candles, be sure to invest in a drip pan beneath each candle to catch the wax. Learn more today about how an iron candle chandelier can transform any room!
