How to Pick the Right Sized Wreath

Remember Deb's wreath she showed us how to make?  Isn't it just gorgeous?

I get questions from time to time about choosing the right sized wreath.  Many people aren't sure what size wreath would work well for their door.


When choosing a correctly sized wreath it's all about proportion.  Look for a wreath that takes up about 2/3 of your space.  If your door is 36" wide, then look for a wreath that's 24" in diameter.  If it's a 30" door, find a wreath that's 20" in diameter.  Use the same math for hanging a wreath above a fireplace too!


*Designer Tip:  Think of unconventional places to use wreaths.  I usually have one hanging on my pantry door in the kitchen.  Try a linen closet door, or even a bedroom door.  If you're using them for a decoration inside, play with the scale a little bit.  I love this miniature DIY wreath from Women's Day or the Feather Wreath from Martha Stewart.
