Decorative Seasonal Flags For All Occasions

By Marissa Velazquez


Decorative seasonal flags can be found in most larger home centers or department stores and they can also be found online. They are a fun and affordable decoration for the exterior of the home, which has led to their growth in popularity. In addition, they come in various sizes and different shapes, and the unique themes are almost endless.

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 type of decoration is usually displayed outdoors around the front of the house. However, they could be used indoors if desired. While the larger variety may be attached to a pole that would be inserted in a mounted bracket, the smaller variety typically hangs from a metal stand that can pushed into the ground almost anywhere.

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.

The various sizes and shapes of these popular garden accessories are typically categorized as being large or small. The large variety are often hung from a ground pole or attached to the side of the house using a bracket, similar to an average country flag. The small variety is considered more versatile, since the metal holders can be placed almost anywhere the homeowner desires, such as near a mailbox or along a pathway.

There is almost no limit to the many seasonal themes you can find, which is another reason they are so popular. Most manufacturers have the major holidays covered, but it is easy to find themes that showcase particular elements that are associated with certain seasons. For instance, a colorful field of flowers or a honey bee hive would be popular themes to celebrate summer. For the autumn, pumpkins, fall leaves and cornucopias may be more appropriate.

This type of flag is also reasonably easy to find in many stores. Large home centers and many department stores offer them in the lawn and garden or seasonal section. However, some specialty stores may have designs that are more unique. To find a specific theme related to a hobby or a personal interest, it may be best to 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.
