Coordinated Decor: For a harmonious look, pair your Light Blue Barro Candleholder with other items from the Barro tableware collection. This creates a cohesive and thoughtful design aesthetic throughout your home.
Unpack: Carefully remove the Barro Candleholder from its packaging.
Placement: Choose a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials and drafts.
Insert Candle: Gently place a standard taper candle into the opening at the top of the holder. Ensure the candle sits securely and upright.
Candles: Designed for use with standard taper candles.
Decor: Highly compatible with various interior styles, from modern minimalist to rustic traditional. It pairs beautifully with other items in the HAY Barro collection.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe the candleholder gently with a soft, damp cloth. For general dusting, use a dry, soft cloth.
Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glaze and terracotta surface.
Handling: As it is made of terracotta, handle the candleholder with care to prevent chipping or breaking. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to sharp impacts.
Wax Removal: If wax drips and hardens, allow it to cool completely. Gently scrape off larger pieces with a plastic scraper (avoid metal). For residual wax, a soft cloth dampened with warm water can help, but avoid soaking the entire piece.
