Published: August 24, 2007

A house only becomes a home when it's given a personal added touch. Artwork, furniture, lighting, and other décor all turn a house into a comforting retreat. Taper candles are a lovely addition to any home or restaurant. Not only are they cheap, they also provide subtle lighting, pleasant scents, and a touch of color to any room. These candles are a great gift, decoration, and even potential art project that definitely won't break the bank.

Taper candles, a seemingly simple piece of lighting, actually come from a long and eventful history. They are long, thin candles that taper toward the end that is burned. They are available in an abundance of colors, scents and sizes, all with a braided wick. Present day taper candles are still used for worship and lighting as they were several years ago. However, they are also used for mere decoration and mood lighting in homes and businesses – not as primary lighting. Since the introduction of the beeswax candle, other materials have been adopted to make taper candles as well. In addition to beeswax, vegetable products, soy, gel, and paraffin wax are used to make candles.

The long slender shape of taper candles makes them very conducive to candles holders that are placed on tables. Keystone candles, a retailer of unscented and scented candles, sells drip-less, scented taper candles that are designed perfectly for any dinner table. These scented candles will not drip hot wax all over the table or tablecloth. They also offer a subtle scent and soft lighting. A pair of 10 bayberry scented, green candles from Keystone costs just $1.45.

A primary concern that develops with candle burning is the burn time. When entertaining or creating mood lighting, people typically want candles that will burn at least all night. Crafted Candles' tapestry taper candles are made with a tapestry shell taper and have a burn time of about 12 long hours. These candles are available in several colors for $16.30 per pair. Wholesale taper candle discounts are Bell-A-Roma is another candle company that offers wholesale taper candle discounts. A set of 240 candles costs $48 and is the perfect solution for places like restaurants who need more than one beeswax candle to satisfy their candle needs.

Crafted Candles also offers taper candles that are designed specifically for craft purposes. Their wine bottle drip taper candles are extremely popular, and are designed so that when they burn they melt and drip different colored waxes onto candle holders for an artsy look. They are most popularly used when wine bottles are used as candle holders. A set of colorful drip candles from Crafted Candles is only $3.25.

Taper candles and candles in general have evolved from large smelly masses that burn quickly to elegant and artful decorations. Taper candles and scented candles are cheap and multi-functional. In worship, at restaurants, in the bathroom or on the kitchen table, they can be found just about anywhere that needs a bit of fresh scent and soft glow.
