Most home stores now sell more than linens, pillows, mirrors and furniture. Home stores today also sell home accessories like photo frames and candles. Candles are perhaps one of the most common accessories sold in home stores. Candles come in all shapes, sizes, colors and fragrances. A pillar candle is a cylindrical in shape, a votive candle is usually seen in church altars and tea light candles are round and small candles placed in tin foils.

A pillar candle comes in different sizes. Just like pillars, there are tall pillars, short pillars, wide pillars and narrow pillars. A short and wide pillar candle is often used to scent a bathroom or a dinner table. Scented candles used to decorate homes are often pillar candles. These are placed in glass jars, aluminum or plastic containers.
