How to Hang a Wreath on a Door
You don’t need nails or screws to add a wreath—there are several simple and safe ways to do it.
Wreath Hanger
A wreath hanger for front doors hooks over the top of the door without damaging the surface. Choose a slimline, powder-coated version to protect your finish.
Ribbon or Twine
Loop ribbon through the wreath and secure it on the inside of the door using a command hook or clear adhesive tab.
Magnetic Hangers
Perfect for metal doors, these use powerful magnets to hold the wreath in place without leaving a mark.
If you’ve invested in a beautiful new door, don’t drill into it. Use magnetic or over-the-door wreath hangers to protect your investment.

FAQs about Choosing a Door Wreath
Can I hang a wreath on any type of door?
Yes—just make sure to use a non-damaging method like magnetic hooks or over-the-door hangers, especially on composite and aluminium doors.
What size wreath should I choose?
Most front door wreaths are 40–55cm in diameter. Go slightly smaller for glazed doors or large for solid, bold-coloured entrances.
Will a wreath damage the door?
Not if it’s hung correctly. Avoid adhesives or nails. Use wreath hangers, ribbon, or magnetic hooks to avoid marks or peeling.
Are there outdoor wreaths that last all year?
Yes—opt for UV-protected faux foliage wreaths that are weather-resistant. These are ideal for all-season styling without maintenance.
