How I Decorate with American Flags:
Flags in the kitchen…
Recently, I showcased a simple arrangement of small American flags for a touch of patriotic charm in my kitchen. In this space, I filled a white pitcher with flags to blend with my classic blue and white ginger jars. By keeping the display simple and pairing it with everyday decor, it’s easy to create a patriotic look that feels elegant rather than overly themed.
Flags in the family room…
For a similar look in my family room, I displayed some larger flags in a simple white vase. I love the way the red, white and blue colors stand out against the warm stone backdrop of the fireplace. To include some texture, I added starfish…which could represent a coastal summer or the stars on the American flag!
Last year, I included red, white and blue with a patriotic banner hung across my mantel. I loved how this turned out and the way the flag banner filled the space between the mantel and the fireplace screen.
A patriotic pillow is one of the easiest ways to create a festive look for the summer holidays. To keep my space feeling timeless, I paired my flag pillow with neutral furnishings and classic textiles like my blue and white pillows.
Flags in the foyer…
Last summer, I added a collection of American flags to a blue glass vase in my foyer. I wanted to create a focal point while complementing the blue dresser and my classic accessories. This is a perfect example of how a few American flags can make a space feel festive without overwhelming the room.
A few years ago, I mixed in some flags with a red rose bouquet. Once again, I wanted the space to feel timeless and welcoming. To see more of that foyer table, read – 4th of July Decorating in the Foyer.
