Hurricane lamps are any glass chimney, vase, or semi-enclosed receptacle that holds a candle (or electric bulb). Back in the day, the glass protected the candle from high winds to keep it from blowing out. Today, they are mostly used because they are beautiful candle holders that provide lovely accent lighting.
Where to Use a Hurricane Lamp
Hurricane lamps are used as accent lamps and they provide a romantic glow. They are stunning on a dining table, buffet, shelf, or fireplace mantel.
- In the bedroom, they serve as mood lighting. Set on a dresser or bedside table.
- In the bath, with a candle, they are used as an exquisite light that makes bath time an elegant spa experience.
- On the fireplace, they make every day a holiday. They make the picture-perfect centerpiece on the mantle.
- On the dining room table, they are the picture of romance. They are just as lovely on the buffet or china hutch. They are often used in pairs or as a centerpiece at these locations
- In the foyer, they add a warm welcoming glow.
Get Creative with Candle Hurricane Lamps
Candle hurricane lamps are fun to decorate for the seasons or holidays. You can use a battery powered candle or a traditional pillar.
Fill the lamp about a quarter full of tiny pine cones, acorns, red or orange faux berries, jewel tone marbles, tiny faux pumpkins, tiny Easter eggs, coffee beans, tiny wooden balls, pebbles, tiny sea shells/star fish, sand, tiny crystal filler, pearl-escent beads, seasonal colored beans, candy corn, wine corks, blue acrylic ice —there’s almost no end to the creative things you can find to add to your hurricane lamps.
The Hurricane Lamp Centerpiece
