And, you don't have to deal with open flames.
We're a bit candle-obsessed at House Beautiful. Scentscaping your home is an art form, and we love snagging bougie candles for ourselves or loved ones. This means we also love candle accessories, and the candle warmer lamp is one of our favorites.
If you aren't familiar with what candle warmers are or what they do, we'll explain. As the name suggests, these flameless alternatives melt your wax of choice to release the fragrance. Why reach for one when you could use a match or a lighter?Well, for one, you don't have to worry about smoke, soot, or an open flame, which are all typically associated with a lit candle. Instead of a flame, a bulb melts the wax from above, releasing the fragrance much faster and making it last longer than a lit wick.
The one consideration when shopping for this product is that candle warmers often need to be plugged into an outlet to work, making where you place it crucial. However, once you find the suitable spot, whether on your nightstand or end table, there are a variety of chic, sleek selections to choose from.
Scroll ahead for the seven best candle warmers on the market. As you browse the list, it's worth picking up a new candle or two to try with your new heater.
You're one for aesthetics when it comes to your home decor, and there's no shame in that. Go for this wooden option that blends with a modern, minimalist space. Some important functions to note: The light can be dimmed, and the heating device can automatically turn off based on how you set it.
Use the candle warmer as a stylish table lamp to set the mood for bedtime with a calming scent. A reviewer shared that before going to sleep, "You can control the light, which is great for a slower melt and less light." Instead of heating the candle jar from the base, the lampshade above melts the candle wax.
The handblown glass strawberry shade is just too cute to leave behind. It becomes a statement piece on your nightstand, and paired with a fruity candle, adds some sweet ambiance. Spotted "seeds" add an extra realistic feel, and it's flameless for fire safety.
For a slightly more modern look than the crystal fan lampshades, go with this fluted linen shade. It adds effortless relaxation and diffuses the light a bit better, so it can double as a table lamp. It's dimmable, and it even comes with its own timer.
This is an Amazon's Choice candle warmer pick for a reason. With an iridescent lampshade fanning out and an attractive crane neck, it's such a chic addition. It even has an adjustable height, so you can switch between votive candles and three-wick candles with ease.
For a different silhouette than the usual desk lamp neck, go for this one that resembles more of a vintage lantern. "I am enjoying this candle lamp so much! It warms up fast, my candles last longer, and it fits 1-wick to 3-wick candles easily. The base is sturdy, the shade is glass, and I move it all around my house," one reviewer wrote.
Most candle warmers aim for a neutral color palette, putting elegance front and center. But for those who want a little more vibrance in their space, this colorful candle warmer is the right fit.
There are several reasons why you may want to use a candle warmer instead of burning a candle. One reason is that the smoke from a burning candle can contribute to indoor air pollution within your home, and it can leave your walls with black soot. When you warm a candle to melt the wax, however, there is no soot produced. Additionally, if you often forget to blow out your candle before you leave the house, the warming products are better options for you as they pose less of a fire hazard.
And for those with a favorite candle you don't want to burn through too quickly, good news: Candle warmers may actually make your product last longer. The slower the wax melts, the slower the fragrance oil will evaporate. Thus, you get more bang for your buck.
