Hi friends! To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever decorated for July 4th! I never felt the need to before, but it was so fun to add some red, white, and blue decor in the middle of the summer lull. These items are definitely going to make their way into my summer home decor every year now! And they also work for Memorial Day and Labor Day – I’m undecided whether I just keep it like this all summer long or just for a week or two around the holidays!
Also – I only decorated a few spaces with patriotic touches – no need to go crazy! See the 3 main areas I did below!
Patriotic Front Porch Decor

For my patriotic front porch, I actually started out with this mood board and then incorporated some items I already had!
Our porch swing is possibly my favorite place in our whole house. I loved switching up the pillows here! Check out my usual front porch look here. My white outdoor 24″x24″ pillows are from Pier 1 but are no longer available and my blue striped pillows are from TJ Maxx. They’re actually indoor pillows but I sprayed this Scotchguard water shield on them, so we’ll see how they hold up! I’ve been using the water shield on all my outdoor fabric too. The blue striped and red buffalo check pillows were actually just pillow covers that I put over my existing pillows – total space saver for storing decor!
I’m also thinking of DIYing a doormat for summer – we have a large front porch so I usually go with a 2′ x 3′ doormat and those can be hard to find sometimes [or are really expensive]. We’ll see how that goes!
Patriotic Bar Cart Decor
I also added a few touches to our bar cart. See all my bar cart styling tips here! This was the PERFECT place to add a few patriotic items. It was really simple – I got a cute print from Etsy [which I just printed at home on computer paper!], some holiday cocktail picks, and a garland! These items will be super easy to switch up from season to season but make a big impact!
Patriotic Bathroom Decor
Lastly, I added hand towels and a candle holder to my powder room! I like the way these items go with my deep navy vanity. Get all the details on my powder room here!
I hope this gave you some simple patriotic home decor ideas and inspiration! Follow along here to see more behind the scenes of my patriotic home decor!
