Red, White and Beautiful: Flag Day-inspired Decor

Contributing Blogger

This week we commemorate that star-spangled banner that waves proudly outside of schools, buildings and down-home front porches from one coast to the next. It’s Flag Day (tomorrow)!

If you’re looking to bring a bit of patriotic flair to your abode, it’s time for a little red, white and blue inspiration.

Take it literally, if you’d like, by decorating with flags as art among neutral surroundings:

Or, as art among not-so-neutral surroundings:

Go bold with deep blue walls.

Keep it fresh with lots of white:

Or throw caution to the wind and take risks with graphic patterns and eye-catching finishes.

But if you’re not ready for such a punchy, high impact application, softly nod to our nation’s flag with smaller doses, like red, white and blue stripes on just one piece, like a chair.

Or, just celebrate the day with a festive tabletop display.

Looks like our founding fathers had quite a bit of style with the design of Old Glory! Have fun celebrating the star spangled banner this Flag Day!
