A little patriotic design goes a long way.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

We might all love \u201cStars and Stripes Forever\u201d and there is no doubt that between Flag Day and the 4th of July, there is plenty of cause to decorate in red, white and blue. The challenge, from a design point of view, is seeing how you can incorporate a little of the stars and stripes in your everyday d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>cor without it being\u2026 shall we say, overwhelming?<\/span><\/p>\n

Patriotic D\u00e9cor Tip #2: Keep The Look Going Through Color<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once the festivities are done for the year and your decorations have come down and been put away, you can still show your love for your country in ways that won\u2019t inundate your home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Color has a lot of meaning and combinations of color suggest a theme without necessarily papering the walls with the flag. Furniture in red, white and blue, for example, gives you the vibrancy of those colors and will evoke good feelings, reminding you that you are in a great place. <\/span><\/p>\n

The pieces below, the <\/span>Lana bench<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>Krista cabinet<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Lydia cocktail ottoman<\/span><\/a> are all great examples of ways you can bring in individual pieces of furniture, against a simpler background of more muted tones, and have some stand out visuals!<\/span><\/p>\n

Other accents need not have the color but all of the characteristics of the stars and stripes! Rough hewn metals give a down home country feel that still pops out, visually.<\/span><\/p>\n

Classic American design reaches well beyond the red, white and blue though. <\/span>Example<\/span><\/i>? Take a handsome piece of furniture and dial it up a level by adding some star or flag shaped hardware. <\/span><\/p>\n
