A Useful Hack For When Your Door Doesn't Have Room For A Wreath Hook

Adding a wreath to your front door is an easy, stylish way to celebrate the season, whether it's winter greens or a gorgeous spring wreath alternative. That is, unless your door doesn't have room for a wreath hook, or the sun hits your front door most of the day, melting Command hooks right off. So is the only choice going wreath-free? Nope. There is a useful hack for hanging a wreath without a wreath hook, and you probably already have the tools to make it happen: a Command hook and a ribbon.

By simply changing the location and position of the Command hook — turning it upside down and placing it on the inside of your front door — you can finally hang that beautiful wreath without damaging your door or wondering if (or, more likely, when) your wreath will fall off again. Plus, the ribbon adds a fresh pop of style and personality to your front door that's easy to swap out. Aside from adding style to front doors, it's also a clever way to hang decorative wreaths in your kitchen without any holes.

Ready to try this out? Grab a Command hook and position it near the top of the interior side of your front door. Remove the backing and adhere it upside down so the hook curves towards the floor. Once it's secure, attach a length of ribbon to your wreath, knot the ribbon, then slide the ribbon over the hook, allowing the wreath to hang on the outside of the door, and you're good to go. This hack also works brilliantly if you want to swap out wreaths for a stylish flower basket to spruce up your door. Simply tie the ribbon to the basket instead of the wreath.

To figure out how long your ribbon should be, decide where you want the wreath to hang on your front door, then measure from that spot to the top of the door. Double that length to ensure your wreath hangs at the perfect spot. To find the perfect color ribbon, draw inspiration from your front door and the wreath you want to display. Ribbons in complementing or contrasting colors will help tie the entire front door look together.

When doing this hook, make sure to check your Command hook's maximum weight to ensure it can support the wreath, especially if you're hanging a larger piece. Command Large Utility Hooks can handle up to 5 pounds while Command X-Large Utility Hooks max out at 15 pounds. Also, take a quick look at your ribbon first to make sure there's no wearing or tears to reduce risk of breakage.
