Decorative Seasonal Flags For All Occasions

By Marissa Velazquez


Decorative seasonal flags are a unique and inexpensive way for homeowners to adorn the outside areas of their homes, which has contributed to their growth in popularity. They can be purchased online, but most larger home centers and department stores have them readily available. You will likely find almost any theme imaginable, and they come in various sizes and shapes.

Seasonal flags are available in multiple sizes. In addition, they are fairly inexpensive, which is one reason homeowners purchase several flags to rotate throughout the year. Some homeowners like to change their display to match the change in seasons, while some put up flags to celebrate certain holidays or other festive occasions.

This seasonal decor can be used indoors. However, it is more common to see them on display outside, often near the front door. The larger types may be attached to poles in the ground or held by brackets mounted directly to the siding. The more versatile smaller versions hang from small stands with sharp stakes that push into the ground.

Some of the more expensive versions are made from fine silk which has been pieced together to create the desired motif. However, the most common seasonal varieties are made from less expensive polyester or other synthetic materials. The images are often screen printed in mass quantities, which helps keep production costs down, making them more affordable.

Although these popular garden decorations are available in multiple shapes and sizes, they typically fall into either the large or small category. The larger variety are similar in size to a standard country flag, which would be flown from a pole mounted in the ground or inserted into a bracket attached to the side of the house. The smaller type is more versatile as the small metal holders can be placed along a garden path, near a mailbox or almost anywhere else the homeowner chooses.

Another reason these flags are so popular is there is almost no limit to the types of seasonal themes you can find. Of course, all of the major holidays are covered by most manufacturers, but you can also find many themes that have more to do with the elements of nature found in a particular season. For example, colorful wild flowers or honey bees buzzing around a hive are popular themes for summertime, while fall leaves, pumpkins and cornucopias are popular for the autumn.

Another reason this type of flag is so popular is that they are easily accessible. Most large home centers and major department stores have a decent selection in their lawn and garden or seasonal department. However, if you are looking for something more unique, a specialty store may have more to choose from. You may even be able to find a flag with a specific theme related to a hobby or personal interest if you shop online.

For a fun and affordable way to decorate an outdoor space, many homeowners are turning to decorative seasonal flags. They come in many sizes and shapes with an almost endless selection of themes, making it easy for any homeowner to find at least a few that peak their interest. For something special or more unique, shopping online may be the best bet.
