18 Holiday Wreath Ideas for More Than Your Front Door
A well-placed wreath is the perfect holiday decoration.
Holiday wreaths are quintessential pieces of holiday decor – you can dress them up or down according to your holiday decorating preferences. You can also play around with placement – your front door doesn't have to be the only place you hang a wreath. In fact, wreaths can add holiday cheer almost anywhere! In this guide, we've outlined 18 holiday wreath ideas to inspire you to try one out this holiday season.
1. Go For Classically Christmas
The first holiday wreath idea on this list features one of the most traditional wreath placements: centered on your front door. Your front porch is the entryway to your own winter wonderland. There's a reason this wreath placement and style is so classic – there's nothing quite like being greeted at a loved one's door by a fun and festive wreath. Decorate a plain wreath with gold ball ornaments and bright red ribbons and tinsel or simplify the process with a pre-decorated wreath.
Think outside the box – or rather, inside, – with this Christmas door decorating idea. Hang a holiday wreath on the inside of your front door so you can enjoy a festive display that would normally be outside and out of view. An interior front door wreath can instantly add holiday spirit to your living room or entryway. Opt for faux winter berries for a touch of Christmas red or complement other winter green decor with an evergreen wreath.
Is your entryway in need of more holiday decorations? Consider holiday wreath ideas like this one. A mirror-mounted wreath or evergreen garland will create a fantastically festive frame around your reflection, boosting your spirits each time you enter or leave your home. Guests will be just as charmed – your entryway mirror will become the best place in your home for holiday mirror selfies!
Tip!
Attach the wreath to the mirror using a standard wreath hanger (just like you would for a door).
This is one of those DIY Christmas wreath ideas that looks spectacular as a mantel decoration or dining table centerpiece. To start, you'll need a festive wreath that meets your aesthetic requirements and color palette. Lay the wreath flat on the table or mantel. Next, position a table vase in the center of the wreath. You want to make sure that the base of the vase fills out the hole of the wreath because it helps make the display look complete. With the vase and wreath in place, get to crafting your very own holiday floral arrangement. You can do this using sprigs of evergreen branches, faux poinsettias, and pre-designed Christmas flower arrangements. Now step back and enjoy your unique take on wreath decorating.
Have fun with holiday wreath ideas that incorporate rustic accents. Highlight the woodsy greenery of your holiday wreath with rustic wood wall art featuring weathered wood planks. Hang the wreath on the center of the wooden backdrop using a weather hanger. You can recreate this look with as many or as few decorations as you want to achieve your holiday theme.
Get in the spirit to bake holiday cookies with Christmas wreath ideas for the kitchen. Make your kitchen into a festive statement (without taking up precious countertop space) by dotting mini wreaths throughout the room. You can even hang mini wreaths on each of your kitchen cabinets for a quaint reminder of the season every time you walk in the room.

Show off your personality with wreath decorating ideas like this one. Thanks to their versatility of design, wreaths can be the perfect pieces of holiday decoration for eclectic, bohemian, and untraditionally decorated spaces. A wreath's base of greenery can be decorated with ribbons, dried flowers, feathers, faux fruits, and even pinecones. If you're struggling to find appropriate holiday decorations for your unconventional space, you could even DIY your own holiday wreath to make sure it fits right in with your own style.
Adding a holiday wreath to your bathroom is a must, whether you want to spruce up your powder room, prepare for holiday guests, or just Christmas-i-fy every room in your home. Hang one in the window, above the toilet, or on the back of the bathroom door for a holiday bathroom upgrade. You can also position two miniature wreaths on either side of the bathroom vanity mirror for another look altogether.
Wreaths really are some of the best pieces of holiday decor – festive yet classically simple, they can be placed almost anywhere that needs an extra dash of holiday cheer. That includes your kids' bedrooms! If you're looking for an easy way to decorate your kids' bedrooms for the holidays without going overboard, consider hanging wreaths above their beds. Your children will love having their own special wreaths – you can even make a fun holiday activity out of decorating their wreaths with ornaments, pinecones, and ribbons to best display their festive spirit!
Spread out your holiday decorations with a trio of statement wreaths. Hang them in a row to serve as the backdrop for your dining table or sofa. Hang them at an angle to add a seasonal upgrade to the wall leading up the stairs. Position them in a triangular formation above your bed for a lush display of winter greenery and holiday colors.
Adopt a simple twist on the traditional front-door holiday wreath by hanging one beside your front door instead of on it. As you can see in the above photo, the wreath perfectly complements the festive scene and fills the empty space on the front porch. This holiday wreath idea is amazing if you want to try something traditional yet unique. You might even start a trend in your neighborhood!
Skip the hassle of weaving Christmas lights through holiday wreaths or finding creative solutions to electrical wires by going with a pre-lit holiday wreath. Battery-operated varieties remove the need for wires and outlets altogether so you can get creative with where you put your wreath.
Elegant flocked wreaths make for the perfect pieces of holiday front door decorations, especially if you live somewhere that might not get a lot of snow around the holidays. Choose all-white winter wreath and amplify the icy effect by complementing it with silver and white ornaments, garlands, and other sparkling holiday decorations. Outdoor lights will look especially beautiful twinkling among the wreath's frosted fronds.
Accompany retro mid-century modern spaces with a unique take on holiday wreath shapes and placement. Create the perfect backdrop for holiday drinks with a gallery wall of wreaths in untraditional shapes. Anchor the look with a traditional round wreath. Bring in a square wreath to connect to the geometric patterns that mid-century modern design loves. Add a bit of abstraction with a half-hoop wreath. Together, these wreaths are sure to complement mid-century modern aesthetics while still providing seasonal interest.
Decorating your front porch with holiday decorations that match the general color palette of the front of your home is key if you want to avoid making the area look too busy. In the Christmas door idea pictured above, note how the cold tones of the front door and house siding are reflected in the light blue and blue-greens of the wreath. It might be tempting to add extra ornaments for pops of color (especially bright Christmas reds and golds), but if you want simple yet sophisticated holiday front door decorations, we recommend keeping it cohesive.
The space above your dining room sideboard or buffet table is perfect for elegant holiday wreath ideas. Guests will admire the grand beauty of this gorgeous holiday-themed wall centerpiece. If you already have an oversized clock on your dining room wall, consider placing a large wreath over it like a frame. Add pinecones, ribbon, and other rustic ornaments on the mantelpiece or table top to complete the look.
If you want to adorn your front door with classic decorations but aren't interested in flashy ornaments, a holly wreath is a smart front door Christmas decoration idea. Its ridged leaves and bright red berries are holiday signatures – subtle yet decorative enough to add significant charm to your front door. Hang a single holly wreath on your front door for a stand-alone look or accompany it with matching greenery or evergreen garlands and mini Christmas trees.
