The 11 Best Door Stops of 2023

Best Overall

DECOREALM Marble Decorative Door Stop

View On Amazon

This door stopper is made entirely of marble, which means that it’s equal parts stylish and useful. At 5 pounds, it’s heavy enough to support the weight of even the heaviest doors. We love that it’s equipped with a brass handle, which not only adds a decorative touch but also makes it a breeze to pick up and move around. 

The base is slightly wider than the top, which is great for added sturdiness. In addition to making a beautiful integration into your home decor-wise, this marble option would work well as a bookend or a decorative object around your home.

Anthropologie Gia Giraffe Door Stop

View On Anthropologie

Shaped like a giraffe, but elevated by its gilded brass finish, the Gia Giraffe Door Stop would work as well in a nursery as it would as a decorative accent in your living room. Made of cast brass and iron, it can be easily repositioned to accommodate any door in your home—and since it’s much wider at the base, you don’t have to worry about it tipping over. The width is also fairly narrow, so it won’t take up much space as it sits behind your door frame.

Like many of the options on this list, this little door stopper could be reused throughout your home in a myriad of ways. The shape and sculptural nature of the giraffe make it easy to use as a decorative object, but you could also place it on your dresser and use it as a jewelry tree.

View On Home Depot View On Target

Recommended by Berdek, who praises its texture and the fact that it "won't feel obstructive near a door,” the 3R Studios Tan Rope and Sand Knot Door Stop is a nautical option that's versatile enough for many different styles of decor. It's made of a cream-colored rope and is packed with more than 4 pounds of sand, ensuring that it will support even heavier doors with ease.

This door stopper has a little handle that acts as a decorative accent and also allows you to move it around easily. It’s another option that would look great used as a decorative accent throughout your home, so you won't have to worry about it being an eyesore in the corner.

Anthropologie Nellie Doorstop

View On Anthropologie

Another option that comes recommended by Berdek (“I love a more sculptural moment, since it can add an instant element of design to any space," he says), the Nellie Doorstop from Anthropologie features a wedge that works its way into a whimsical sculpture of a hand, which is completely visible, even when the door is propped open. That allows it to act as both a physical stopper in addition to the wedge, which is great if you have a higher clearance under your door that would cause it to open further back on the wedge. It’s made of sturdy aluminum and comes in both blackened iron and bronze colorways; either would fit seamlessly into many spaces.

Signature Hardware Cast Iron Ornate Doorstop

Whether you live in a Victorian home or simply dream of one, the Signature Hardware Cast Iron Ornate Doorstop is the perfect accent for you. Made with cast iron, this stopper has classic design details that would work great for people who love the aesthetic of a Victorian home. Plus, the bottom has a layer of rubber padding so that you don't have to worry about it scuffing your floors. 

Since the design of the stopper has so much texture, this option is great if you are concerned about your stopper getting scuffed. It acts as a wedge stopper, which means it fits under the door to hold it open. These types of stoppers sit flush against the floor, which makes them incredibly sturdy.

Upper Deck Rabbit Design Cast Iron Door Stop Wedge

View On Amazon

Decorative yet low-profile, this little door stopper checks many of our boxes. Made with sturdy cast iron in an antiqued-rust finish, with a wedge style that's accompanied by bunny ears, which not only add a playful touch but also act as a physical stopper.

One of our only qualms with this stopper is that it doesn’t have rubber underneath to protect the floor. However, reviewers note that they were able to add some rubber stickers on their own, an effective remedy that Berdek also recommends.

Rejuvenation Plain Floor Doorstop

View On Rejuvenation

If yu're looking for something super-minimal, Berdek recommends opting for a door stopper that can be floor- or wall-mounted, and the Rejuvenation Plain Floor Doorstop is one of his favorites. This stopper is made from high-quality brass that comes in five different finishes, including brushed antique and brushed nickel, polished nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and unlacquered brass.   

A rubber stopper around the base protects both the stopper and the door from scuffs and visible damage. It mounts with a standard door stop hanger bolt that is intended for wood, and it will truly stick with you for the long haul.

West Elm Geo Brass Metal Doorstop

View On West Elm

Another option that comes recommended by Berdek is this brass door stopper, which has a unique geometric shape that adds a structural element to any home design style. Berdek notes that it could be used as a bookend or make “a great addition to a powder room, as it would act as a beautiful floor sculpture.”

At nearly 5 pounds, this option weighs a decent amount, so it will certainly support even heavier wooden doors in your home. Since it’s flat on top, it could even be used on a bookshelf as a display for a plant or other decorative object.

CB2 Pascal the Bull Gold Doorstop

View On CB2

Designed in the shape of a bull, the Pascal Bull Gold Doorstop from CB2 can be used from the side, or you can point its little horns at the door, which also allows the bull to look extra-defiant. 

The only downside of this stopper is that it doesn’t have rubber feet, but you could definitely buy some to prevent the stopper from moving around. At 6.6 pounds, this door stopper is certainly on the heavier side of this list, so Pascal will keep things pretty sturdy whether you add grips or not.

Generic Rubber Door Stop

View On Amazon

This three-pack of rubber door stoppers sits in a little holder on the back of the door so that they’re easy to pull out when you need them. They are a great option for smaller spaces that don’t have room for a design element and really just need a door stopper for functionality. 

Since these stoppers are rubber, they will easily fit under any door with ease. The individual stoppers won’t cause any scuffing on the floor, and they’re available in a pack of three that includes wall mounts. The wall mounts can be easily affixed to the door with a sticker, and the stoppers themselves are easy to store when not in use.
