Rustic farmhouse-chic doorways need this burlap-wrapped wreath hanger that offers just the right touch of country flair. It’s inexpensive, and the sturdy metal base can easily hold wreaths up to eight pounds without worry.
The medium 12-inch length makes it ideal for smaller- and medium-sized wreaths, and the two-inch depth offers easy placement on most wood and metal doors.
What to Consider When Buying a Wreath Hanger
A wreath hanger is a clever, inexpensive device that offers the best way to hang a wreath on your door without nails or complicated construction. Some wreath hangers are over-the-door-style hooks, while others offer the ease of magnets. You can also buy peel-and-stick hooks that look like the bigger, bolder cousins of sticky picture hooks. No matter which option you pick, they’re reusable, last for years, and can hold Christmas wreaths as well as store-bought options.
The most important things to consider when buying an over-the-door wreath hanger are the length or size as well as its weight capacity, shares Yates. The wreath hanger should be long enough to display your wreath towards the top of your door without being squished and have a wide enough hook to fit around your door. Since most front doors are a standard width, this shouldn’t be a problem when shopping for wreath hangers.
“Many wreath hangers shouldn’t cause any damage or marks to your door, but if there are high winds or you are concerned it may scuff the surface, then it is worth sticking a strip of felt or flexible rubber to the under edge of the whole hanger, this can be cut to size and applied with double-sided tape,” says Yates. “Alternatively using some furniture felt feet on key contact points will help to pull the hanger away from the door surface slightly, and prevent it from scratching as it moves around.”
You must also consider how much weight your wreath hanger can hold. Wreaths don’t tend to be extremely heavy, but if you have one with a lot of greenery or added decor pieces, make sure your hanger is strong enough. This applies to over-the-door hangers as well as magnetic or suction options. Read the product description to see how much weight it can withstand.
“The amount a wreath hanger can hold will vary depending on the material of the hanger —a plastic one may not be as strong and may become brittle over time,” says Yates. “I’d always recommend a metal, preferably steel, hanger as this will be strong and durable to use year after year. Most metal hangers will hold a wreath over 10 pounds, but there are heavy-duty versions available that can carry heavier wreaths over 20 pounds.”
The main attraction of your door will be the wreath, but buying a high-quality and sturdy wreath hanger is just as important. It will keep your wreath hanging all season long without damaging your door.
