Independence Day is a summer holiday. BBQs, community parades, and firework displays are the order of the day. Almost everyone has the day off and looks forward to spending it outdoors with family and friends. So, delight your guests. Decorate your garden, patio, or home exterior in a 4th of July theme.
Make a patriotic statement or subtle touches of red, white, and blue. Beyond the colours of the American flag, there are plenty of iconographies to draw on as you create your patriotic presentation. You can find all kinds of spirited decor and accent pieces featuring these instantly recognisable symbols.
Fresh flowers are always the go-to when it comes to decorating a party. If you’re going to purchase and display flowers, why not be purposeful with them and go for an element of red, white, and blue?
Another quick and easy way to decorate for a 4th of July themed garden party is to give your outdoor furniture a new lease of life. Introducing red, white, and blue cushions and throws, and why not pair with a stunning Kilim rug. Kilims are flatweave rugs; they're lightweight, meaning they are easily transported and moved.

While most of the attention rightfully belongs outdoors, consider adding home accents that give your indoor space a holiday feeling too. Since most July Fourth events centre around a meal, it's a good idea to decorate your table - this is where you can let your creative side shine!
July Fourth is the perfect reason to embrace summer entertaining, and a patriotic floral centrepiece can feel just as festive as fireworks. The most patriotic flowers, according to symbolism, are Red Rose, Freesia, Edelweiss, Snowdrop, Guernsey Lily, Black-eyed Susan, and Acacia. So, show your love of the country by displaying these varieties on America's birthday.
Red, white, and blue are a natural colour palette for US summer design. Assemble your tableware, using white as a black canvas, and then jazz it up with blue and red accessories. Complete your tablescape with an eye-catching centrepiece rug placed underneath the table.
Here are three gorgeous Persian and Oriental rugs, perfect for your July Fourth celebration.
