One of the biggest trends appearing on Instagram feeds are colourful tapered candles, with independent British brands including Edition 94, Fairholme and Bable offering a rainbow of options from twisted to hand-painted  and striped to sherbet-hued. Here is our edit of the most stylish tapered candles and candle holders, plus the chicest matchboxes.

Colourful candles do not just lend a gorgeous flickering warmth to our interiors at a time when we all need a little extra cheer, they are also a vital ingredient of any tablescaping arrangement worth its salt. When you are trying to elevate your everyday during lockdown, tapered candles should be your first port of call. They add a touch of chic and can make even the simplest of weekday suppers feel special.
