Buyer's Guide: Welcome Fall in 5 Minutes with a Simple Front Door Wreath Refresh
Aug 19th 2026
What says “September” to you? Once upon a time, it might have been the smell of a fresh notebook or a new box of crayons. New routines, especially for families of school-age children. Football and fall fashions. That certain sharpness in the cool morning air and the tinges of red and yellow tipping the trees.
Whatever it is, despite the fact that September marks the three-quarter point in the year, it often feels new.
So it seems only natural that our homes get a small refresh, too. How do you begin to bring fall into your home? Fall wreaths are a simple place to start.
Wreaths are one of the easiest decorating accents – just hang and enjoy! Unlike mums or fresh flowers, there’s no watering or deadheading involved. You don’t even have to worry about lighting it up – unless you want to.

More Wreaths To Consider
FAQs
Many people start their fall decorating by hanging a wreath on the front door. However, unless your wreath is designed for outdoor use, it should be protected from the elements by a porch overhang or storm door. Rainwater could permanently damage your front door wreath, cause the colors of artificial materials to run or loosen the glue holding it together.
There are many other places to hang a wreath in your home, including an entry wall or over the fireplace. Autumn wreaths can be used over a sofa, as part of a wall art grouping or even laid flat as a table centerpiece filled with flameless candles. Wreaths can also be hung on a hutch, the backs of dining chairs, kitchen cupboards, a stair landing or an interior door.
Yes! Many alternative solutions exist for hanging wreaths and autumn garland, including over-the-door wreath hangers and suction cup hooks. Other options include wire or ribbon looped over the door or windowsill, as well as magnetic hooks and removable adhesive hooks.
