The Fourth Of July is one of my FAVORITE holidays!

There’s nothing better than adding personality to your home, so before we get into Fourth of July decor, let’s review what the Fourth of July TRULY stands for!
The Fourth of July became a national holiday for the Unites States of America on July 4, 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed.
The Declaration of Independence was a document written by America declaring independence from Great Britain.
Once the document was signed, America was officially their own country, for this reason, the Fourth of July is America’s birthday!

Super Easy Fourth Of July Decor Ideas
1. Patriotic Pillows
Patriotic pillows are a CUTE and SIMPLE way to spice your house up!
All you have to do is order affordable pillows from Amazon or your local store, and your home already looks so much more festive.
There’s a reason why there are pillows for each holiday, because they are the SIMPLESTÂ way to make your house festive!
2. Table Runners
If you LOVE throwing family dinners, then table runners are a MUST HAVE!
Gather your family around the table and serve some yummy summer salads and barbecue.
If your family is too informal for table runners (like my family), then invite friends over for a Fourth of July party to show off your AWESOME table runner!Â
3. American Flags
The most traditional Fourth of July decor is a good, ole American Flag! American flags symbolize the independence America formed from Great Britain in 1776.
The revolutionary war was a hard battle that America fought to become their own country.
If you want to decorate your home to reflect the Fourth of July, then you HAVE to include American flags!
4. American Gnomes With Wooden Signs
These outdoor Fourth of July decor are a great addition to add to your home! Gnomes are usually places outside on a porch or in the garden.
Even if you do not have a yard to add the American Gnomes, you can add them inside at a convenient location.
Gnomes symbolize good luck, so add the gnome and get ready for some good luck!
5. Red, White, and Blue Candles
Candles will make your home better than just looking good, they will make your house smell good too!
To make the candles fit the Fourth of July aesthetic, make them red, white, and blue, or another form of patriotic symbol such as stars to represent America.
Also, make sure to get a fun smell so when you burn them, the house smells REAL GOOD!
6. WreathÂ
A wreath outside your front door is the first impression people get when going inside your home!
I remember in college, some girls had different wreaths outside their doors for each holidays. Their dorm room always looked SO WELCOMING and something that I wanted to experience.
If you want your home to look welcoming, then consider adding a Patriotic wreath. If you do not want a patriotic wreath, then opt for a summer wreath that can stay up the ENTIRE summer!
7. God Bless America Sign
A God Bless America sign can be places inside OR outside of your home, depending on the type of sign you get.Â
Funny enough, God bless America comes from the song “God bless America” (which is SO GOOD). The Fourth of July is the PERECT time to get out the music and celebrate the land of the free!
8. Flowers
It’s ALWAYS a good time to have flowers in your home (at least that’s MY motto!).
Get festive flowers on the Fourth of July, by getting flowers that are red, white, and blue!!
You even can go as far as getting festive Fourth of July vase to place flowers in, that way you don’t have to worry every year about getting festive flowers!
Flowers are another Fourth of July decor ideas that will make your home look AND smell fresh!
9. Striped Pinwheels
Striped pinwheels are a FUN outdoor decoration because the wind will make the pinwheel spin!
If you want to stick to keeping the Fourth of July decor inside, you can order smaller striped pinwheels and place them strategically inside the home.
For outside decor, you can place the striped pinwheels anywhere where the wind will catch it.
For inside decor, you can place the striped pinwheels on your table or near the flowers!
10. American Star
An American Star is something EVERY home needs! Kick it up a notch and make it a RUSTIC American star!
Even if you don’t have a country home, the Fourth of July is the PERFECT time to embrace the American country roots.
Put some country music on and add the Rustic American Star to show appreciation to America!
11. Patriotic Welcome Mat
Similar to wreaths, welcome mats are just like the name: WELCOMING!
Back in college, some rooms had welcome mats in the hallway in front of their doors, and BOY THEIR ROOMS LOOKED WELCOMING!
I always wanted to go in their rooms and see all of the other decorations, because if they had time to decorate the outside of their dorm, then I couldn’t imagine how cute the inside of their dorm looked!
12. Patriotic Tiered Tray
A Patriotic Tiered Tray is a GREAT indoor centerpiece to add to you home. The Patriotic Tiered Tray can be filled anything you want.
Some tips for what you could add to your Patriotic Tiered Tray are some of the things listed on this list such as America the beautiful sign, candles, a gnome, and more!
My PERSONAL favorite thing to add on (literally any tired tray) are some treats! The treats can be simple candies, pretzels, or pastries. Who doesn’t love YUMMY snacks?!
13. Pleated Fan Flags
Pleated fan flags are another Fourth of July decor that can be inside OR outside. They provide similar meaning to a regular American flag, but in a different form.
In my parent’s neighborhood, there are actually SO MANY of these in people’s yards when I take walks.
This is a fun way to mix up the design instead of only having American flags.Â
14. Festive Stars
Who doesn’t love festive STARS? Even if it’s not Fourth of July decor, stars are SO FUN!
However, it is the Fourth of July, and stars are ESSENTIAL to American history and the American aesthetic.
Stars are essential because they represent the 50 states in the United States of America. These stars are on the American flag, and are added every time a new state is added to America.
The last time a state was added to America was in 1959, when the beautiful island of Hawaii was added to America.Â
15. Plates / Cups / Napkins
A fan favorite is adding festive plates, cups, and napkins! These Fourth of July Decor will make you think of the Fourth of July EVERY TIME you eat or drink!
If you are having a Fourth of July party, then adding festive plates, cups, and napkins is a MUST!
To make your day easier, consider paper plates, cups, and napkins so you don’t have to store and wash them after a BIG party!
My parents would ALWAYS get paper Fourth of July plates, cups, and napkins for our Fourth of July parties, and honestly, they were SO FUN! Don’t underestimate the POWER of paper plates!!
16. Banners
Not only are banners EXTREMELY memorable, but they are the cherry on top of your festive Fourth of July home decorations!
Every business knows the importance of banners because they get whatever message they want to send out in a memorable way.
Likewise, you can make your friends and family REMEMBER your home with beautiful Fourth of July banners!
Place them on the wall or near a window for perfect placement.Â
17. BalloonsÂ
Another Fourth of July decor for parties are BALLOONS! Who doesn’t LOVE balloons? As much as I don’t like blowing up balloons is how much I love balloons! (really it’s a struggle for me LOL).
If you want to have the BEST Fourth of July decor for your party, then you CANNOT miss out on balloons.
The vibrancy of the balloons automatically will impress your guests because it shows the effort you put into making the event special!
Even if you are not having a Fourth of July party, you can still add balloons to your home! Don’t let not having a party stop you from the festive home of your dreams!!Â
