Wreaths on Cabinet Doors
This one’s a classic — and for good reason. Hanging small wreaths on each upper cabinet door adds charm, symmetry, and instant holiday polish without cluttering your countertops.
How to Style It
- Use mini faux wreaths (8–10 inches wide) — pine, eucalyptus, or berry styles all work great
- Attach with ribbon looped over the top of the cabinet door and secured inside with tape or a command strip
- You can also skip ribbon and use a small adhesive hook placed right on the cabinet front
- Style all the same for a clean, symmetrical look – or mix greenery types for a cozier, collected vibe
Wreath Styling Tips
- Velvet or plaid ribbon instantly dresses them up
- Stick with all white or green wreaths for a more neutral kitchen
- Don’t overdo it – upper cabinets only is usually plenty
- Want to get fancy? Add a few mini bells, bows, or berry sprigs
