At dusk there's a vast array of candle holders to choose from. Most require nothing more than a decision about where they look best. But some also require a bit of installation – nothing more than a reasonable DIYer could do with one or two tools, screws or hooks. Enter our easy step-by-step guides, the first of which are below.

Hanging Wall Sconces

	STEP 1 Decide where you want to hang your wall sconce. While you are holding it in place, mark the wall in the screw loops that will hang the sconce.
	STEP 2 If you are using wall mates, place the point of the mate on the mark you have made and screw it into the wall so that the flat part of the mate is level with the wall surface.
	STEP 3 If you are using rawlplugs, drill a hole into the wall on the mark(s) you have made and then tap a rawlplug in until it is flush with the wall.
	STEP 4 Screw in your screws, leaving sufficient length exposed for the screw loops on the sconce.
	STEP 5 Hang your wall sconce and decorate with your favourite votives or tealights.

Hanging Chandeliers

	STEP 1 Decide where you want to hang your chandelier. Mark the ceiling where the hook needs to be and then drill an 8mm hole through the ceiling on the mark.
	STEP 2 Drill an 8mm hole in the centre of a piece of 70 x 35 timber (this must be easily long enough to span three ceiling joists).
	STEP 3 In your loft space, locate the hole you drilled through the ceiling and attach the timber to the joists so that both drilled holes line up.
	STEP 4 Fix your hook through the ceiling and the timber. Secure with washers and nuts as shown.
	STEP 5 Hang your chandelier and decorate with your favourite votives, tealights and accessories.
