Memorial Day: A Time for Subtle Elegance
Memorial Day is about honoring those who have served the nation. Décor for this solemn occasion balances patriotism with gratitude.
Flag Displays
Flying the American flag on a tall flag pole is a powerful tribute. Pair it with a LED Solar Flag Pole Light to ensure respectful illumination at night. Adding military flags is another meaningful way to honor service members.
Memorial Touches
Create a wreath with red, white, and blue flowers or place it at the base of your flagpole. Use white stones or bricks around the base for a clean, symbolic display.
Independence Day: A Bold Celebration
The Fourth of July is the perfect time for vibrant patriotic displays. Make your home a standout with bold designs.
Statement Flags
Upgrade to a Roosevelt Premium 25ft Flag Pole and fly a large American flag, such as a 5’x8’. Add a Gold Eagle Finial for an elegant touch.
Festive Accessories
Drape patriotic bunting on railings or balconies, and use string lights shaped like stars for evening celebrations. Mason jars filled with small flags and candles make excellent table centerpieces.
“The Fourth of July is a time to embrace bold patriotic pride and celebrate the nation’s freedom in style.”
Veterans Day: Thoughtful and Respectful Décor
Veterans Day honors the men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Décor for this occasion should reflect gratitude and respect.

Fly Military Branch Flags alongside the American flag to show solidarity. Arrange smaller flags in planters or garden beds for added elegance.
Symbolic Touches

Warm Lighting
Replace bright summer lights with warm string lights for a cozy look that matches the autumn mood.
Patriot Day: Reflecting Unity
Patriot Day, observed on September 11th, emphasizes remembrance and unity. Décor for this occasion should be understated yet meaningful.
