Enjoy the beauty and drama of a candle hurricane when you shop today.

What is a Candle Hurricane?

Hurricanes are unique forms of candle holders that keep candles lit, regardless of air or wind. They are primarily decorative now, although you could place yours outside or near a fan and be glad to have the protection for your beautiful candle.

• When choosing candle holders, many people like a versatile style that can hold a large candle that lasts. That way, you can enjoy a delightful fragrance or favorite color to enhance your decor and set the mood.
• The hurricane is a large column made of glass so that the candle holder is a cylinder. It may appear oversized so that you can place your candle comfortably into the bottom of the hurricane and light it with enough room.
• Some decorative hurricanes may have space for more than one candle. This is similar to how you might creatively style a cloche or a glass dome with a board for a base, although you wouldn't put a candle in an enclosed element.

Choosing Unique Candle Looks

Bring your candle hurricane front and center when you treat as part of your overall lit decor. Explore creative and high-design styles available for you to bring home now and style them on your surfaces as you see fit.

• Check out hurricanes that include pillars built into them in order to place several candles at once without them melting into each other.
• Enjoy a hurricane that features the addition of other organic elements, like stones in the bottom under a raised candle base or a surrounding mount of faux antlers.
• Consider the simple jar candle, a miniature hurricane in its own right, although the candles are packed tightly into jars. These candle make great side ornamentation for your larger hurricane.

By exercising your design skills to bring warmth and vivacity to different tabletops or counters in your home, you'll find the candle hurricane lends authentic flair and the comfort of candlelight throughout your home.
