Luckily there are quick and simple alternative ways to hang Christmas cabinet wreaths without damaging your cabinets.

Temporary Adhesive Hooks
Temporary adhesive hooks are some of the easiest ways to hang lightweight wreaths, Choose hooks intended for temporary use and consider the manufacturer’s recommended weight limit before hanging decorations, With a gentle cabinet surface cleaner cleaning the surface before attachment is the best practice.

Just be sure to get a narrow angled hanger to avoid obstruction of cabinet door functions.
For a cleaner aesthetic cover your hanger with ribbon that matches your wreaths and your Christmas decoration color scheme.
Consider Cabinet Finish
It is best to use some caution when hanging wreaths on different cabinet finishes. If you have painted cabinets do not use a strong adhesive on those. For wooden cabinets be sure to test the hanging solution on an area that is not easily visible to check how the solution affects the finish. Suction cup hooks can work great on glass cabinetry but be sure to check the weight of your wreaths before using them. For laminate cabinetry you can use adhesive removable hooks but be sure to place them on a clean smooth surface.
Make Sure Cabinet Doors Still Function
Be sure that when you are hanging wreaths cabinetry functions such as handles and hinges are not obstructed. Using light wreaths will help you avoid most issues with cabinet door functions. If your wreaths are not light adding a small piece of removable adhesive or ribbon to your wreaths will help keep them in the same place.
