Soft petal

We like the earthy green colour of this rose-shaped holder. Good if you're working with a natural inspired decor palette. Dh95, Zara Home

Hang together

You could use this mini bird cage as a tea light holder or hang a few (without the candle) on your Christmas tree as pretty decorations. Dh99, Zara Home
