Hey, festive friends! The holidays are almost here, and you know what that means: it’s time to deck the halls, and most importantly, the doors! Your front door is the first warm welcome your guests receive, so why not make it spectacular? I’ve rounded up some of my favorite door décor looks—from classic to unexpected—to give you all the inspiration you need. Grab a hot cocoa, scroll through these gorgeous ideas, and let’s get those entryways looking amazing!
1.Classic Charm
Isn’t this just the essence of Christmas? The deep forest greenery is lush and full, perfectly framing the old-world door knocker. Those pops of red holly berries and the simple, rich red bow on the bottom give it that timeless, cozy feel. It’s elegant, traditional, and screams holiday cheer! This wreath is beautifully full, ensuring the grey door color acts as a sophisticated, muted backdrop.
How to get the look:
- Choose a base: Start with a very full, dark green wreath (real or high-quality artificial).
- Add contrast: Tuck in sprigs of variegated holly or boxwood for texture and color contrast.
- The Bow: Finish with a simple, high-quality, velvet red ribbon tied in a classic bow.
- Look Tip: Hang the wreath with a ribbon color that subtly complements the door’s shade.
2.City Chic
Talk about curb appeal! This look is pure sophistication. The sleek, black door and the striking black and white tiled floor set a very chic stage. The wreath itself is a beautiful blend of deep jewel tones—reds, oranges, and deep greens—giving it an opulent, gourmet look, almost like a Renaissance still life. It’s festive without being overly rustic.
How to get the look:
- Dark Door: This look needs a dark, high-gloss door (black or navy) to make the colors pop.
- Unique Elements: Seek out wreaths with non-traditional elements like dried oranges, pomegranates, or cinnamon sticks.
- Ribbon Pop: Use a deep, luxurious burgundy or crimson ribbon to tie the whole design together.
- Look Tip: Symmetrical flanking lights and planters really heighten the formal, grand atmosphere!
3.Double the Fun
Why stop at one wreath when you can have three? This entryway uses vertical decorations, which is a brilliant idea for narrower spaces or side doors! The mini-wreaths on the door panels and the lush garland on the railing create a wonderful, tiered effect. The bright, shiny red ribbons make the natural wood tone of the door feel even warmer.
How to get the look:
- Go Vertical: Instead of a huge round wreath, opt for smaller, tear-drop shaped swags or mini-wreaths.
- High Impact Bows: Use extra-large, vibrant red, wired ribbons. The shinier the ribbon, the more festive the result.
- Extend the Look: Continue the greenery theme onto railings or window boxes for a cohesive outdoor scene.
- Look Tip: The use of simple, warm wood as a backdrop highlights the vibrant green and red.
4.Rustic Elegance
This might be my favorite for a cozy, rustic cabin feel! The muted, almost smoky blue-green foliage paired with the rustic wooden door is absolute perfection. The soft, flowy grey ribbon is a fantastic change from the traditional red, giving the whole display a very calm, winter-morning vibe. The small, silver ball ornaments add just a touch of shimmer.
How to get the look:
- Dusty Greenery: Look for wreaths made with eucalyptus, dusty miller, or sage for that muted color.
- Fabric Choice: Use a raw-edge linen or cheesecloth ribbon in a soft grey or cream for a relaxed bow.
- Silver Accents: Use matte or vintage silver ornaments instead of bright, shiny colors.
- Look Tip: This style is best complemented by natural materials, like the worn wood shown here.
5.Berry Bold
Wow, this wreath makes a statement! The sheer volume of vibrant, shiny red berries against the natural, bright wood door is simply stunning. It’s a modern take on holiday décor, focusing on one spectacular element—the red—and maximizing its impact. The clean lines of the wooden slats and the contrasting black handle let the wreath be the absolute star.
How to get the look:
- Maximize Berries: Find a wreath where the berries heavily outnumber the greenery—the denser, the better.
- Choose the Shine: Opt for bright, high-gloss berries to catch the light.
- Keep it Simple: Skip a large bow to let the texture and color of the berries take center stage.
- Look Tip: A lighter, natural wood door acts as the perfect neutral canvas to let the intense red burst!
6.Grand Entrance
Now this is a wreath that brings all the elements! Hung on a striking red door with gorgeous etched glass panels, the decoration itself is rich with texture—pinecones, deep red baubles, and that intricate gold-patterned ribbon. It has a beautiful, three-dimensional depth, making it feel incredibly full and luxurious. It’s Christmas maximalism done right!
How to get the look:
- Layer Textures: Combine various materials: grapevine base, faux pine, pinecones, fabric leaves, and several sizes of ornaments.
- Patterned Ribbon: Use a wide, structured ribbon with a metallic or seasonal pattern (like plaid or gold scrollwork).
- Color Coordination: Match the dominant color of your wreath (here, the red) to your door color for high impact!
- Look Tip: The chrome door knocker adds a nice, modern touch to the traditional elements.
7.Magical Glow
Who says all the décor has to be on the door? This picture shows a whole enchanting entryway scene! The simple, dark wooden door acts as a backdrop for the tiny, twinkling Christmas trees and the string lights draped above. This is a perfect example of creating a warm, illuminated holiday welcome, especially stunning as the day gets darker.
How to get the look:
- Mini Trees: Use two or more small, real or artificial pine trees in rustic pots or burlap sacks.
- Fairy Lights: Drape warm white, battery-operated fairy lights on the trees and around the doorway arch.
- Focus Up: A simple garland or swag over the door frame with a few red details completes the look without cluttering the door itself.
- Look Tip: This works best with a deep, dramatic door and classic stone architecture.
8.Brilliant Blue
Talk about a stunning color contrast! The bright, rich cobalt blue door is the perfect partner for the warm, natural tones of this half-wreath. The simple grapevine base is beautifully decorated with fresh greenery, deep red berries, and natural pinecones. The result is a clean, modern, and incredibly cheerful entryway.
How to get the look:
- Start Simple: Use a half-wreath or U-shaped design on a natural grapevine base.
- Focus the Details: Concentrate the décor elements (berries, cones) on the lower portion of the wreath.
- Bold Backdrop: Choose a very vibrant, non-traditional color for your door, like this blue, teal, or even yellow!
- Look Tip: The natural texture of the rustic door knocker complements the simplicity of the wreath’s base.
9.Cozy Fun
For a playful, whimsical, and totally unique look, you have to try a yarn wreath! This fun pom-pom creation is perfect for the young (or young-at-heart!). The bright reds and greens are classic, but the fuzzy texture is a delightful surprise against the traditional wood door. Plus, it’s a great DIY project!
How to get the look:
- Yarn Project: Create or buy an assortment of pom-poms in various shades of red and green yarn.
- Assemble: Hot glue the pom-poms to a wreath form until completely covered.
- The Crown: Finish with a festive, glitter-edged red and gold ribbon bow.
- Look Tip: Pair with a traditional, rustic element like this antique lion door knocker for a charming clash of styles.
10.Snowy Pine
That bright, almost electric blue door is amazing! It’s the perfect, unexpected color for the classic Christmas greenery. This wreath is very full and traditional, with a beautiful wintery touch thanks to those large, snow-dusted pinecones. The simple white trim around the door really makes both the blue and the evergreen pop.
How to get the look:
- Go Classic Green: Use a full, traditional pine wreath as your base.
- Frosting: Add oversized pinecones that have been lightly ‘flocked’ or painted white on the tips for a snowy effect.
- Unexpected Door: Don’t be afraid to hang a traditional wreath on a bold-colored door (like blue, yellow, or pink) for a modern twist.
- Look Tip: Keep the hanging mechanism discreet; here, the wreath is hung right below the gorgeous door knocker.
11.Fiery Glow
Now this is how you do a festive monochromatic look! Hanging a green wreath on a bright red door creates a fun, high-energy holiday vibe, but the real star here is the subtle lighting. The tiny fairy lights nestled deep within the foliage give the wreath a magical inner glow, highlighting the texture of the green and the sparkle of the red and gold baubles. It’s warm, inviting, and super cozy!
How to get the look:
- Door Focus: This look works best when the door color is a bold red or deep burgundy.
- Lights, Lights, Lights: Use warm white LED micro-dot lights on a thin wire. Weave them deep into the wreath to create a hidden, glowing effect.
- Simple Ornaments: Stick to two main ornament colors (here, red and gold) for a cohesive and classy feel.
- Look Tip: The frosted/snow-dusted greenery helps the red of the door and the ornaments pop even more dramatically.
12.Ornament Extravaganza
If your motto is “go big or go home,” this is your wreath! It’s a spectacular show of color, texture, and holiday spirit. By packing in dozens of shatterproof ornaments in different shapes and sizes—from huge glossy globes to tiny glittery accents—you get this incredibly lush, dramatic effect. Hanging it on a lighter door (like this cream/white) makes the jewel tones explode.
How to get the look:
- Max Volume: Start with a thick, sturdy wreath base—you need it to hold the weight!
- Mix Metals: Combine glossy, matte, and glitter ornaments in classic Christmas colors (red, gold, green, and silver).
- Fill Every Gap: Use smaller ornaments and tiny berry bunches to fill any space between the larger baubles for a solid, full look.
- Look Tip: Use high-quality shatterproof ornaments, especially if your door gets a lot of sun or weather exposure!
13.Winter Wonderland
I absolutely adore this snowy scene! The classic holiday elements—pine, cones, and apples—are given a beautiful, wintery upgrade with a light dusting of faux snow, or ‘flocking.’ The contrast between the deep hunter-green door and the white snow is sharp and gorgeous. And that long, velvet red ribbon tail is so dramatic and elegant!
How to get the look:
- Flocking: Purchase a pre-flocked wreath, or buy a can of artificial snow to lightly dust your greenery and pinecones.
- Rustic Fruit: Use simple, high-gloss fake apples or small red baubles that look like they’ve been freshly picked and frozen.
- Ribbon Choice: Opt for a high-quality, non-wired velvet or plush fabric ribbon in a deep red for an expensive look.
- Look Tip: Placing this deeply contrasting wreath against a bold, dark green door makes the snow stand out immediately, welcoming winter!
