Fall for these autumn wreath ideas
Autumn wreaths to adorn your home

As we all know by now, wreaths aren't just for Christmas. So when the leaves start to turn and nature's palette is at its richest, it's time to get in the autumnal mood and adorn your front door with one of this season's beautiful wreaths. Click or scroll on for autumn wreath ideas that are perfect for fall decorating.
Call in the corn

Evoke fields of wheat and corn ripening in the last days of summer with a harvest-inspired wreath, complete with a velvet bow in burnt orange. Here, the papery skins of corn husks are shredded to create texture and offer a gentle neutral colour palette. And don't worry about hanging it outside; the whole thing is sprayed with a waterproof coating to keep it in good condition.
Go big with oversized blooms

Dahlias have large and beautiful heads that bloom from mid-summer right through to the end of autumn. They flower in every colour you can imagine and so make stunning decorative statements for fall wreaths. These pretty country versions also combine blousy hydrangeas, wheat sheaves and clusters of berries and are, in fact, artificial – so will last for many seasons to come.
Go for gold

Be ready for the harvest festival with a gold wheat or grass wreath. The contrasting design of rustic foliage dressed with a shimmery gold finish makes this decorative wreath an apt feature to keep on display from autumn through to winter.
Embrace colour trends

Indulgent damson tones are one of the hottest colour trends for autumn 2023, so go for a wreath that celebrates these shades for ultimate style points. Reds, purples and russet leaves combine with shimmering berries in this small but sensational faux wreath, perfectly complemented by a deep green front door.
Layer up luxury

Velvet pumpkins are a must-have accessory for your autumn decorating scheme this year, so why not incorporate them into your wreath, too? This layered design is sure to add a little luxury to your entrance with tactile gourds in varying sizes. As they're fabric, remember to bring your wreath indoors if the weather turns particularly wet.
Add autumn apples

This gorgeous natural wreath has been inspired by apple orchard harvests to create a unique yet homely design. Set on a bed of bay leaves, the final arrangement is bursting with cheerful colour.
Update an internal door

Who says wreaths have to stay outside? This autumn wreath showcases faux wheatgrass foliage in varying autumnal shades that pick out the grey-painted boot room backdrop perfectly.
Rope in some knot work

Simple yet stylish, this knotted rope wreath is a versatile pick that can be dressed to suit every season. For autumn, tie posies of Chinese lanterns and other dried foliage with ribbon. Then, when spring and summer come around, swap for fresh white flowers or seashells. For winter, add sprigs of pine, dried fruits and eucalyptus.
Tie a beautiful bow

Let your autumn door wreath stand out from the rest on your street by adding an oversized bow made from plush velvet. Come winter, use it to adorn a festive gift or top your Christmas tree.
Add some sparkle

Create a glamourous autumn wreath by spraying a garland of ivy leaves in metallic gold and russet orange. Wrap around a rattan grapevine blank and finish with a sprinkling of glitter for extra sparkle.
Stick with real foliage

Showcase a luscious autumnal wreath bursting with seasonal colour and fragrance by using real foliage. Either buy one readymade from a florist or take a class to create your own masterpiece. Fill a large base with an array of sunset-toned blooms such as chrysanthemums, alstroemeria, lilies or physalis alkengi, otherwise known as 'Chinese lantern' plants. Regularly spray with water to keep your foliage looking fresh.
Get crafty with wool

Take a tip from this awesome DIY wool wreath that's got all the autumn colours we could hope for. This one can be bought as a kit or you can have a go at creating your own as a fun upcycling project with left-over wool and buttons.
Crochet a seasonal scene

Become a crochet queen and learn to make a stunning autumn wreath bursting with colour and seasonal motifs. This type of beautiful wool decoration takes patience to create but is sure to impress and can be reused year after year. Visit Hobbycraft for instructions for this enchanting autumn fox wreath.
Nail warm autumn neutrals

For a twist on the usual orange tones, glam up a twig wreath base with a display of white miniature pumpkins. Pine cones, fawn-coloured leaves and snowberries finish the warm and natural woodland vibe. You don't need to spend a fortune to make a statement, this delightful wreath comes from a high-street bargain store.
Think sustainable style

Sustainable living is more important than ever so this brown paper bag wreath is simple to achieve but sends a strong message. Cut a ring from used cardboard as the base. Glue eight paper bags on top of one another ensuring the folded side is face up. Cut the folded part of the bag off and cut shapes out of the sides. Pull the paper bags open like a fan and stick them to the cardboard ring. Repeat until the ring is filled with bags. Finish with a bow. Follow the full tutorial at Hobbycraft.
Weave in wicker

Wicker is still a strong trend for both indoor and outdoor decorating schemes. Keep the look going into the new season with a woven wreath that is full of texture and warmth. Enhance the display with a spray of seasonal colour using sprigs of fragrant eucalyptus and berries.
Harvest a heart shape

Dried wheat straw offers a rustic country feel when arranged in a charming heart shape. Tied with a ribbon, it can be hung anywhere in the home that needs a style boost but looks especially sweet hung from a kitchen cabinet.
Forage for feathers

Give your door a heritage look with a soft and textural wreath made from feathers. This creation by Plucking Fabulous uses natural pheasant feathers for a distinct autumnal look, but you could make your own from craft feathers in any colourway you like.
Pick out pampas grass

Love the boho look? This palm spear and pampas grass wreath hones in on the laid-back look blending all our favourite neutrals. Thanks to the preserving process, this wreath should last for years to come and it's so pretty it could easily stay up through to Christmas.
Choose mini pumpkins

Use a glorious selection of allotment favourites to create a wreath that's almost good enough to eat. Mini gourds, marrows and berries deserve their moment in the spotlight and are easily as decorative as flowers and leaves. You'll need to use professional floristry wire and a foam ring to support the weight of real vegetables, but you can get the same look with faux versions that are much lighter.
Work in wood

Give your autumn wreath a twist by choosing a design made of wooden leaves in sage green. They make a rich contrast set against white-toned raffia pumpkins. Complete the rustic scene by displaying the structure on a wooden peg rail draped with a velvet acorn garland.
Turn on an autumn glow

As the nights draw in, choose an autumn wreath that will offer a cosy glow. This timeless display features miniature faux maple leaves and foliage in rich orange and ochre tones that can be brought out year after year. Elevate the look by entwining microlights around the foliage and team with a matching garland.
Couple up with your front door

This selection of dried ruby and russet leaves, small-scale blooms and flashes of fresh greenery creates a delicate yet detailed wreath that'll work from August through to November. This fabulous front door idea matches the wreath to the pretty painted door perfectly.
Display a dried flower wreath

Give your home a cosy feel with an autumn wreath made from dried flowers and grasses that echo the rich colours seen in fields and hedgerows at this time of year. This wreath includes dried roses, hydrangea, scabiosa, straw flower, limonium and anaphalis, blending saffron yellow, russet orange, sage green and ruby red in a natural display.
Bring out autumn's bounty

This forest-inspired wreath is a squirrel's dream come true, packed with dried acorns, pine cones and chestnuts. Sawn-off twigs reveal smooth roundels of wood grain and the dried spiky cases of the chesnuts are even used, too. Why not go foraging on an autumn walk and make your own? It can be as big or small, elaborate or decorative as you like.
Hang a hoop

Create a beautiful everlasting wreath using dried roses, hydrangea flowers and eucalyptus. You can wrap natural twine around a wire hoop – either one you've made or a ready-made base – and add a loop for hanging. Beginning with the biggest blooms, thread the stalks through loops of the twine, followed by the leaves and smaller flowers working outwards. When you're happy with your arrangement, get out the hot glue to secure everything in place.
Make it metallic

You don't need to wait until Christmas to indulge in a little gold! Check out this contemporary DIY design from Rust-Oleum. A geometric wire wreath has been beautifully decorated with oak leaves sprayed with metallic copper. Filling the wreath just two-thirds not only shows off the stylish frame beneath but also makes a modern feature that looks great in any room.
Get fancy with felt

Structurally beautiful and rich in colour, succulents are visually stunning plants to use in decorating whatever the season. Don't worry if you aren't green fingered as this stunning succulent wreath is made entirely of felt and will add a magical autumnal feel wherever it hangs.
Bring in brambles

Embrace nature with an autumn door wreath filled with colourful berries commonly found in country hedgerows at this time of year. Go foraging to pick up dried pine cones, mossy twigs and sprigs of dried ferns, then fill out with artificial leaves, rosehips, blackberries and brambles.
Be creative with paper

This is another brilliant DIY wreath idea that uses paper as its main medium. It's not for a first-time crafter, as each leaf is hand-painted with watercolours to create the perfect pattern, but we can't think of a nicer way to spend a cosy evening getting creative.
Embroider with autumn leaves

As the nights draw in, there's no cosier feeling than working on a craft project for your home. This gorgeous wreath comes as a kit with everything you need – a double wooden embroidery hoop, silk threads and needles, the pattern instructions and even a link to a YouTube video so you can follow along with your needlepoint. When it's complete, you'll have a beautiful autumn wreath that you can wheel out every year to mark the change of season.
Celebrate Thanksgiving

Welcome your guests with a luscious wreath bursting with autumn berries, pine cones, silk chrysanthemums, faux pomegranates, grapes and ferns. This wreath uses woven twigs as its base, leaving a rustic ungarnished section at the top, with a loop of wire to attach to your front door.
