Accessories
Home accessories in Saudi Arabia — furniture builds the room, but accessories finish it. At RIS you will find luxury home accessories with real character: elegant candle holders, ceramic candlesticks and handcrafted wooden stands that turn shelves, consoles and tables into composed scenes. Begin with our candles and pair them with holders and small pieces from our home decor collection.

Small Pieces, Big Difference
An accessory is judged by placement, not size. A single candlestick on an empty side table looks unfinished; the same candlestick beside a small stack of books and a ceramic object looks like a deliberate, sophisticated scene. Work in groups of three, at different heights, and leave space around the group so the eye can rest. This is the rule behind every elegant shelf and console you have ever admired.
Candle Holders and Candlesticks
Candlelight is the warmest accessory of all. Ceramic candlesticks bring a crafted, sculptural feel to dining tables and consoles, while tall holders add height to a mantel or shelf. Use them in pairs for a formal, refined table, or in a row of mixed heights for a bold modern look. Always place candles where they can burn safely — away from curtains, paper and the reach of children.
Stands and Display Pieces
Wooden stands — including our Hilal stands in crescent-inspired forms — give small objects the stage they deserve: a perfume bottle, a misbaha, a treasured book or a Ramadan lantern. Raising one object on a stand instantly makes it look intentional and premium. Stands also bring height to shelves, which is the secret of displays that look balanced instead of flat.
Styling Shelves and Consoles
- Start with the tallest piece — a candlestick, a stand or a vase — and build down from it.
- Mix one metal, one ceramic, one natural material in each group for refined contrast.
- Repeat your group at the other end of the console or shelf, not identically, but with the same colours and heights.
- Step back often — if a shelf looks full from across the room, remove one piece. Elegant is almost always one piece less than you think.
Delivery Across Saudi Arabia
RIS delivers accessories across Saudi Arabia, with free delivery in main cities on orders of 2,500 SAR or more. Ceramic and glass pieces are packed with extra protection, and you can see the finishes in person at our Jeddah showroom.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are home accessories?
Home accessories are the small decorative pieces that finish a room once the furniture is placed — candle holders, candlesticks, stands, trays and small ornaments. They add colour, texture and height without changing any furniture. Most rooms need only a few well-chosen groups: one on the console, one on the coffee table and one on a shelf.
How do I style a console table with accessories?
Style a console table as one composed group: start with a tall piece such as a candlestick, stand or vase, add a medium ceramic object, and finish with a low tray or a stack of two books. Keep the group on one side or centred, and leave the rest of the surface empty so the arrangement looks deliberate, not crowded.
How many accessories should be on a shelf?
Arrange shelf accessories in groups of three, at different heights, with clear gaps between the groups. Three composed groups look far more elegant than a shelf filled edge to edge with single objects. If the shelf still looks busy from across the room, remove one piece — an elegant display is almost always one piece less than you first placed.
What is the difference between a candle holder and a candlestick?
A candlestick is a tall, upright holder made for a slim dinner or taper candle, and it is usually placed in pairs on dining tables, consoles and mantels. Candle holder is the wider term — it covers jars, lanterns, tea-light holders and stands for candles of every shape and size, so every candlestick is a candle holder, but not the reverse.
How do I decorate with candles safely?
Burn candles only on a stable holder, set well away from curtains, paper, hanging fabrics and air-conditioning drafts, and never leave a flame unattended. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting — a short wick gives a clean, calm flame with less soot and dripping. Always blow candles out before leaving the room or going to sleep.
What accessories suit Ramadan and Eid?
For Ramadan and Eid, choose crescent and Hilal-shaped stands, lanterns, brass trays and plenty of warm candlelight. These pieces bring the spirit of the season to the majlis and the dining table, and they are classic enough to stay on display all year. Add a tray of dates beside the dallah and the scene is complete.
Can accessories change a room without new furniture?
Yes — accessories are the fastest way to refresh a room without buying furniture. New candlesticks on the console, a stand with one object on the coffee table, and a single tray on the sideboard can make a familiar room feel newly designed in one afternoon. Work in groups of three and repeat one colour or metal so the change looks designed.
Do you deliver accessories outside Riyadh and Jeddah?
Yes, RIS delivers accessories to all regions of Saudi Arabia, and delivery is free in main cities on orders of 2,500 SAR or more. Ceramic, glass and wooden pieces are packed with extra protection for the journey. You can also compare the finishes in person at our Jeddah showroom before you decide.
What accessories make a good gift?
A ceramic candlestick, a handcrafted wooden stand, or a candle paired with its holder makes a refined gift for a housewarming, Ramadan or a wedding. Choose crafted materials such as ceramic, wood and brass, and neutral colours that suit almost any home. A holder or stand is a gift the host can place and use the same evening it arrives.
How do I mix metals in accessories?
Choose one main metal — brass is the classic choice — and repeat it at least twice in the room so the mix looks intentional. A second metal, such as blackened steel or silver, can appear once as an accent piece. Three or more metals in equal amounts look accidental; one leader and one accent keep the room refined and confident.
How do I clean ceramic candlesticks and wooden stands?
Wipe ceramic candlesticks with a soft, damp cloth, and let candle wax cool and harden completely before lifting it off — warm water softens drips without scratching the glaze. Dust wooden stands with a dry cloth and keep them away from standing water, which can mark the wood. Never use abrasive pads or strong detergents on either material.
Where do accessories look best in a majlis?
Accessories look best in a majlis in three places: on the console behind the seating, in the centre of the coffee table, and on the serving side table. Keep serving surfaces partly clear so trays of Arabic coffee and dates always have a graceful place to land. Candlesticks and Hilal stands add height and ceremony without crowding the guests.
Can I see the accessories in person?
Yes — visit the RIS showroom in Jeddah to compare sizes, weights and finishes in your hand before you buy. Small pieces are hard to judge from a photo: a candlestick's real presence, the grain of a wooden stand and the glaze of ceramic only show properly in person. The team can also help you build a group that suits your room.
What is the rule of three in decorating?
The rule of three means grouping accessories in odd numbers — usually three pieces at different heights — because odd groupings look more natural and more designed than even ones. A tall candlestick, a medium ceramic object and a low tray form a classic group. Apply the rule on consoles, shelves and coffee tables, and leave space around each group so the eye can rest.
How tall should candlesticks be on a dining table?
On a dining table, keep candlesticks and their flames either clearly below seated eye level or clearly above it — a flame exactly at eye level dazzles guests and blocks conversation. Slim taper candlesticks work well because the flame rises above the centrepiece while the holder itself stays low. Leave serving space around them so hands and sleeves pass safely.
