Decorating Your Home for 4th of July

The 4th of July is a great opportunity to showcase your home with tasteful, seasonal decor. The key is keeping it simple and letting your home shine.

Flag Display
A classic American flag is an elegant way to add a patriotic touch. Mount it on a porch column or place a small flag in a garden planter for understated charm.

Plant Seasonal Flowers
Incorporate red, white, and blue through flowers like geraniums, petunias, and salvia. These natural pops of color feel festive without being distracting.

Freshen Up the Entryway
A simple wreath or subtle ribbons in seasonal colors can make your front door feel warm and welcoming.

Keep It Subtle
Avoid going overboard with decorations. Too many items can pull attention away from your home’s best features. Clean, thoughtful accents work best.

July is all about balance. A well maintained home paired with light seasonal touches can help buyers feel comfortable and welcome as they picture themselves in the space.
