These Candle Holders Are the Perfect Travertine Accent

Like many other design enthusiasts, I've been swooning over travertine pieces of all kinds for the past several years, when the material began to make a major resurgence. I've admired travertine coffee and dining tables in particular, but unfortunately, many such items come with a pretty hefty price tag attached. Additionally, as much as I do love travertine furnishings, they lean a bit more modern than my usual decorating style. I would say that my base pieces, like my sofa, coffee table, and bar table, are more traditional in nature, and introducing a full-sized travertine element into my apartment may throw things off course a bit.

That said, I am all for the concept of decorating with travertine accents and enjoying this trend on a smaller scale. While browsing Amazon recently, I came across some travertine candle holders that caught my eye (and made their way into my shopping cart) immediately. First things first, let me share a quick note on the power of simple, unscented candles. Since setting up a faux fireplace mantel in my apartment, I've loved outfitting it with taper candles of all kinds. There's nothing I love more than lighting a few of them while I work on my laptop across the room or wind down with a TV show at night. Even in the summertime, I really enjoy the moodiness that candles add to my space. All that to say, I knew right away that I would definitely make use of these aesthetically pleasing and functional candle holders.
