Christmas wreaths are among the most versatile of all types of Christmas greenery, and they offer endless avenues for decoration and customization.
If you’re looking for some new inspiration for where to hang a few wreaths this Christmas season (or for that matter, at other times of the year) start here.
Where to Hang Christmas Wreaths
First, let’s start with where you can decorate with a Christmas wreath. Though this list is not comprehensive or complete, it is a good place to start.
- The front door. This is one of the best places to hang a Christmas wreath as it makes a good first impression and gets visitors in the holiday spirit. Your front door is the first part of your home guests will see and decorating it sets the scene.
- Picture windows: Large picture windows are the perfect place to make a statement with an oversized wreath. Choosing a wreath that’s properly scaled to the window creates a polished, balanced look, while a pre-lit wreath adds a warm, welcoming glow that makes your home shine beautifully after dark.
- Large interior walls: If you have a large wall that feels a little bare, a Christmas wreath is an easy way to add warmth, texture, and seasonal charm. An oversized wreath can transform an empty space into a beautiful focal point without the need for additional wall décor.
- On garage doors. Garage doors, like front doors, are another great place to decorate with wreaths.
- Over a mantle or bar. Got a space on the wall over a mantle or bar? That might be a prime opportunity to add a little seasonal festivity with a Christmas wreath.
Does Color Matter?
While your classic Christmas wreath is green, and many realistic wreaths are made to mimic specific species, such as pine, spruce or cedar, colored wreaths, such as white wreaths or flocked wreaths, can be excellent for decorating winter wonderland scenes.
(Also, other colors, such as orange, purple, or pastels, can be useful for decorating at other times of year, such as Halloween and Easter.)
Lit or Unlit?
Whether you’d prefer a lit or unlit wreath is up to you, but lit wreaths can save time and effort, and look beautiful when placed in a picture window or on a wall that needs a little extra aesthetic.
What to Add to Christmas Wreaths
A beautiful wreath is just the beginning. With a few thoughtfully chosen embellishments, you can transform a simple greenery base into a custom designer piece that perfectly complements the rest of your holiday décor.
- Lights: There are pre-lit wreaths you can buy, but you can also easily add your own mini lights, cluster lights, or even vintage C9 Christmas lights to them.
- Ribbon: Ribbon can be used to decorate wreaths in numerous ways. One of the best ways is to make a bow and add that to a corner of the wreath.
- Picks and sprays: Choose some picks and sprays that are well-aligned with the rest of your interior decor theme and add these to your wreath to fill it out.
- Ornaments: Adding ornaments is a great way to bring color, texture, and dimension to your wreath. Mix a variety of sizes and finishes for a layered designer look that complements the rest of your holiday décor. While glass ornaments offer timeless elegance, today’s premium shatterproof ornaments provide the same beautiful appearance with added durability, making them an excellent choice for busy households with children or pets.
