Frequently asked questions
What size wreath looks right on a standard front door?
Aim for a wreath that is one-half to two-thirds the width of the door, typically 22 to 28 inches for a 36-inch door. Smaller than that looks lost. Hang it at eye-level or slightly above center.
Are window silhouettes still in style?
Yes, when done sparingly. One window, one strong silhouette, ideally lit from behind with a warm bulb so it reads as a shadow against the curtain. Avoid putting silhouettes in every window, that crosses into Halloween-store territory.
How do I decorate windows without permanently damaging them?
Use removable static-cling decals, command hooks for wreaths and garlands, and battery candles instead of suction-cup wax. Never use tape directly on painted trim, especially in cold weather.
