The Popularity of Kitchen Cabinet Wreaths

How to Pick the Right Size for Wreaths on Cabinet Doors
Getting the right size wreaths for cabinet doors comes down to aesthetics, For regular cabinet doors wreaths 8 to 12 inches in size are acceptable. For larger pantry cabinet doors wreaths 14 to 18 inches in size can be used. Smaller cabinet doors often look good with smaller wreaths.
A good rule is to choose a wreath that fills about 50 to 100 percent of the cabinet door’s width.
What Colors of Ribbon to Use by Kitchen Style
Ribbon use can fit the theme of kitchens by:
Farmhouse: burlap cream sage green
Modern: black white charcoal navy
Traditional: red gold burgundy
Coastal: light blue sand soft white
Depending on the working color schemes in the kitchen your choice of ribbon can achieve the look you want.
How to Store Wreaths After the Holiday Season
Using wreath containers between the seasons works well but so do large plastic bins with seasonal labels. Their ribbons should be wrapped to avoid wrinkles. Gently caring for your wreaths in this way keeps them looking good each year.
