Spring is a time of year when your yard tends to come alive with color. The leaves begin to appear on the trees, flowers begin to bloom, and the grass turns bright green again. If you want to add your own twist on this new season, consider decorating with flags in your yard. Here are a few ideas to consider.
1- Pillars
If you have a high porch ceiling, then you probably have pillars. These are easy to utilize when you want to hang flags. Securely tie the flags to the top of a pillar so that it can wave in the breeze. You could also create a pattern with several flags on each pillar or a theme with different designs. Keep in mind that you might need a ladder to reach the top of the pillars, so if you don’t want to climb up and down when you change the flags, consider choosing a design that you want to see for several weeks or months.
2- Walkways
An idea to consider when using flags is to line your walkways with them. Smaller flags are often ideal for this design so that they don’t interfere with people walking. However, you want to get flags that are large enough to show the details on them so that people can see them. An option would be to turn the flags so that they are parallel to the walkway, which can allow for them to be easily seen while preventing them from being kicked or hit while people walk.
3- Doors
If you don’t have a large yard but still want to add a few flags to your decorations, consider hanging one on your door. It would be easy to change the flag with each season if you want to continue decorating throughout the year. Hanging a flag on your door also allows for a little privacy as well since the flag would likely cover the exterior glass portion, preventing people from seeing through if you don’t keep a secondary door closed during the day.
4- Flower Beds
You’ve probably seen various decorations in flower beds when you drive through your neighborhood. You can use flags to decorate your own flower bed as well. If you have a larger flower bed, you could position a few flags so that they aren’t all in one place. Outdoor lights can also be used as a way to showcase your flags at night.
5- Porch Rails
Whether you have a holder for a flag that’s attached to your porch or you tie the flag to a banister, it’s easy to hang flags from a porch of any size. This is a way to decorate your yard for spring with flags without them getting on the ground and getting dirty. It also allows for the flags to blow in the wind while viewing them every day from the comfort of your home.
Flags come in different designs for all seasons. Spring is a beautiful time of the year to start decorating your yard with flags to add to the colorful natural decorations that are already seen.
