4th of July and Patriotic Decor

Bunting is the classic for porches, railings and windows on the Fourth. Half-round flag bunting looks crisp on a porch, and smaller strings work for fences and mantels. With America's 250th, red, white and blue pieces will feel right for summers to come. Measure the width of the porch railing or window before you order so the bunting hangs with a gentle swag. Fabric bunting can be stored and reused, which makes it a better buy over time than paper. Pair it with a flag, a few lanterns and a pot of red and white flowers by the door. For a party, string smaller bunting along a fence or across the top of the drinks table. Keep the look classic with stripes and stars, or add wood-bead garland for a softer farmhouse version.
