There are a lot of places you can spruce up with a wreath. The front door is usually considered the best place to hang this versatile décor piece, given that it instantly creates a welcoming ambience. However, wreaths can be displayed both indoors and outdoors to create a cohesive look throughout your home.
Many artificial wreaths are designed for indoor or covered outdoor spaces, so it’s best to check if they’re safe for outdoor display as well. Balsam Hill’s outdoor-safe wreaths are crafted with UV protection to resist fading so you can enjoy their beauty for many seasons.

Insider’s Tip: A wreath door hanger is the simplest way to mount a wreath on a door. If you don’t have one, you can also make your own. Start by mounting an adhesive hook upside down on the back of the door. Then, position your wreath in front of the hook and tie a string or ribbon around it. Finally, hang the string over the door and attach it to the hook at the back.
