A Wreath for Every Door

Hanging a holiday wreath on your door is a quick and simple way to decorate your house and neighborhood, while sending out a warm welcome to visitors. Wreaths come in many styles to suit your preferences, along with the architecture, interior and landscape design of your home. You can choose one that's living or artificial; realistic or stylized; and decorated or bare. Personalize a wreath by adding your own decorations.

If your home's architectural style is Georgian or Colonial, then you may want to go with a classic or traditional green wreath of fir or pine. If your home is rustic or southwestern, a naturalistic or alternative wreath made of regional native plant cuttings, seed pods, or fruit would be appropriate.

Contemporary and Midcentury Modern homes can look fabulous with real wreaths or those made of obviously manmade materials, like anything plastic, recycled, or with tinsel garland. Adorn your wreath with whatever you want: it should reflect your taste and style, after all.
