Wreath Size Matters
Share
A wreath is more than just décor — it’s the finishing touch that sets the tone for your home. It’s the first thing guests see when they walk up, and it instantly makes your entryway feel warm and welcoming.
But here’s the thing: size really does matter. Choosing the right wreath size will make all the difference in how balanced, stylish, and inviting your door looks.
⸻
Small Wreaths (18–20”)
Small wreaths are perfect when you want something simple and subtle. They work beautifully on:
• Apartment or condo doors
• Narrow entry doors
• Layered décor (like hung over a mirror indoors)
⸻
Standard Wreaths (22–24”)
This is the most common and versatile wreath size. A 22–24” wreath looks perfectly proportioned on most standard front doors (usually 36 inches wide).
✨ Why it works: Big enough to make an impact, but not so large that it feels crowded.
👉 Pro tip: If you’re unsure where to start, this is always the safest (and most stylish!) choice.
⸻
Large Wreaths (26–30”)
Want to make a statement? A large wreath is the way to go! These sizes are ideal for:
• Oversized doors
• Bold front porch designs
• Seasonal displays when you want extra “wow” factor
They’re eye-catching and create that beautiful, grand feel when guests arrive.
⸻
Extra-Large Wreaths (32”+)
Extra-large wreaths are true showstoppers. They shine on:
• Double doors (use one on each for balance)
• Tall, wide doors
• Porches that need scale and presence
⸻
Quick Tip for Hanging
No matter what size wreath you choose, aim to hang it so the center of the wreath sits at eye level. That way, it feels natural, welcoming, and perfectly placed.
