Have A Holly Jolly...Wait, The Wreath Scratched Our Door

The Holidays are here, and a good-looking wreath is often the expected decoration for seasonal curb appeal or holiday gatherings, but only if it suits the door. Get the look you're after by hanging the right sized wreath at the correct height, using an appropriate hanging method.

Make sure the fit is right

An average door is 80 inches high and 36 inches wide, and an average-sized wreath is about 23 inches in diameter. Using these measurements for the door-to-wreath ratio, choose a wreath that suitably fills or covers about two-thirds of the door's width. For example, if your door is 42 inches wide, opt for a wreath that's roughly 28 inches in diameter.

Scratch Free Wreath

Although part of your decoration, you dread the chance that your hanger will scratch your beautiful door. This year, reduce the chance of unsightly damage using bubble wrap or felt. Secure the protective material to the door, the back of the wreath or the hanger, as needed, using low-residue painter's tape.
