patriotic cottage

With summer in full swing and the 4th of July just around the corner, we are gearing up for all things red, white, and blue, and hoping to inspire you with some fun patriotic design.

From tabletops to florals, we love all things patriotic.  Vintage finds are particularly fun to incorporate into any space.  Even modern spaces can stand a little vintage mix this time of year.

The Magical Patriotic Cottage

One special space that we love to revisit year after year is owner and lead designer Jenny’s magical summer cottage.  Her mix of lovely new cottage-style pieces with incredible vintage patriotic art and curated finds just screams Independence Day.  One great idea that you can try in your space is to drape vintage flags on walls or over tables. Use a variety of flags in buckets, or vases. Use hanging flags as a way to frame a door. Add vintage brass eagles and war memorabilia in different areas to create focal points.  The great thing is that there are no set rules.  Each vignette will be special in its own way.

4th of July Florals

Another element that all of the designers at Karr Bick love to incorporate into their 4th of July holiday decor are patriotic florals.  Using red, white, and blue florals is always lots of fun, or simply add flags to your indoor and outdoor arrangements.  It can be as simple or as elaborate as you like.  Here are some fun examples of how you can make those pots pop.

Patriotic Tables, Entryways, and Buffets

Don’t forget to adorn your tables, entryway, and buffets with a bit of Independance Day cheer as well.  Nothing screams the 4th like walking into a festive entryway or living room.  And your table can be the star of the show. Here are some examples of how to dress up your entryway, table or buffet for the holiday.

As the sun sets on your Independance Day celebrations, we hope that the day was filled with festive decor, wonderful food, family, friends, and most of all great love for our country and the freedoms we take for granted.  Here are a few last shots that are particularly special to us.  Cheers.

Watercolored jungle and animal scenes are a great way to complete the look of a child's bedroom along with a small bookshelf for toys and clothes.
