Sizing Lamps and Candle Stands

Sizing Lamps and Candle Stands

Lighting and candle stands are the quiet artists of a room — shaping mood, defining corners, and adding touches of sculpture and warmth. At Sidqa, each piece is crafted thoughtfully, but knowing the typical sizes can help you visualise how they’ll live in your spaces.

Below is a guide to common dimensions for lamps and candle stands, though you’ll find precise measurements listed with each product on our website.

**.. Design Tips for Choosing Your Piece

Play with Heights: Vary lamp and candle stand heights in a room for a layered, inviting glow rather than harsh uniform light.

Shades Define Mood: Lighter lampshades spread soft, ambient light, while darker shades create focused pools of illumination for drama.

Think Beyond Tables: Floor lamps fill corners beautifully, and wall sconces save space while adding sculptural interest.

Mix Materials for Character: Metal, glass, wood, and ceramic bases bring different textures and vibes to your interiors—combine them for a curated look.

Cluster Candles for Impact: Instead of single candles, group several candle stands in odd numbers for a romantic, collected aesthetic.

Consider the Finish: Antique brass feels warm and timeless. Glossy ceramics look crisp and modern. Distressed finishes bring vintage charm.

Mind the Scale: A large floor lamp can anchor a spacious room, while petite lamps or slender candle stands suit smaller surfaces without overwhelming them.

Let Candles Be Unscented: Especially for dining areas, unscented candles ensure ambience without clashing with food aromas.
