The flag needn’t be made of fabric all the time. This Uttermost Accessories American Flag Metal Wall Art 13480 is an awesome piece to behold.
Growing up, you might have seen old homes displaying red, white and blue buntings with every bit of decor showing Uncle Sam. The porches of such homes are the most patriotic that one could see. People who take pride in their nation can always find ways to bring a sense of patriotism and history into their homes. More often than not, they adorn their porch with the star spangled banner.
But being patriotic even in your interior design is a lot more than just displaying the American flag. With enough creativity, you can modernize your patriotic decor while still keeping your sense of pride.
Inspiring, Patriotic Ideas
Okay, so the great ol’ American flag deserves its own domain. Choose a significant part of your home to display it. Sure, use the porch just like other homes but there are other rooms, too, that can feel just as patriotic.
Apart from the flag, you can also adorn one or two walls of your home with paintings highlighting the image of Uncle Sam. An unframed canvas will surely play well against a rustic, antler-adorned wall. This creates a marriage of sorts and an automatic country theme.

You don’t have to own an Andy Warhol painting just to get into the patriotic vibe. There are many other ways to inspire your loved ones and friends to appreciate their beloved nation a bit more.
Hang colorful paintings of wagons, cattle, galloping stags, and cacti-filled deserts.
First, always say yes to the rustic theme. This is the default style for anything pertaining to the Old West. Display equine accessories such as a saddle.
Have patience in looking for pieces that will suit your home. You can come up with a display that depicts vintage but is not necessarily vintage. All it takes is a little creativity. Old West pieces were built to weather the harshest climates. So it is common to find dust and even grime in some of the authentic pieces. You don’t have to stage a pigpen, though. Just use a little saddle soap to clean that dirty piece.
If you are not sure of what cleaning products to use, pay the local tack store a visit and ask for some guidance.
Red, white or blue furnishings are definitely in. These are expected to be fun and inspiring especially when used altogether. Use nautical flags as bookends and come up with an oversized art collage that, of course, features a lot of red, white and blue.
Don’t think that you’re stuck with red, white and blue colors, though. Remember that this country was mainly inhabited by the Native Americans so you can also pay tribute to these great people by using their beautiful geometric patterns.
Find an awesome fusion of textiles that can be used on your flooring or as covering for your furniture. Even minimalist space can make use of these elements.
How? Just add prints to put in texture to a minimalist setting.
If you’re not sure of what to do with an old, tattered flag, then try framing it. A mounted, old flag can easily become the focal point of a living room. This can be preserved for many more years to come and be given as an heirloom to your posterity.
If you want to elevate the look of the room some more, then use longhorn skulls as decorative elements. These will bring back memories of covered wagons and cowpokes while still providing a sculptural effect in an entryway.
Use a wooden bench at the same entryway or elsewhere in your living room. Instead of the usual upholstered chairs, why not decide to use a bench in your dining room? Wood is also your best friend when trying to use the patriotic theme.
