Spruce Up Your Porch for the Fourth of July & Keep it Festive All Summer!

Celebrate America with a splash of red, white, and blue!

Here are some easy ways to deck out your porch or front of your house for the Fourth of July –and with a few tweaks, you can keep the decorations charming all summer long.

A morning walk with my Yorkshire Louie is my favorite way to start the day, get into my daily routine, and enjoy the outdoors.

A hat and sunglasses are necessary as the sun is always bright and plentiful—warm and enjoyable!

As my companion sniffs all the trees, fences, and plants he encounters, I go in my own parade of houses. This week, I focused on all the patriotic decor these gorgeous homes sported.

STARS AND STRIPES

American flags are a classic touch.

String up bunting across your porch.

WREATH IT UP

Welcome guests with a festive wreath. Look for one with red, white, and blue ribbons, stars, or floral elements.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

Add pops of color with red geraniums, white petunias, and blue hydrangeas in planters or hanging baskets.

SEAT YOURSELF

Place comfy red, white, or blue outdoor chairs on your porch for a relaxing spot to enjoy the summer weather.

SUMMERTIME FLAIR:

Swap the Stars and Stripes: Replace your Fourth of July bunting with colorful summer banners or windowsocks.

Pot Up a Season: Instead of red, white, and blue flowers, plant a vibrant mix of summer blooms in your porch planters.

Light Up the Night: String up some outdoor fairy lights for a magical touch of warm summer evenings.

Welcome the Outdoors: Add a cozy outdoor rug and some comfy pillows to create an inviting outdoor seating area.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for sales after the Fourth of July to snag discounted decorations for next year!
