Stage Your Home for
Independence Day
By Jeanette Joy Fisher
Homes decorated for holiday
celebrations speak to home shoppers. Not only do homes
decked out with patriotic reinforcers make buyers feel
connected to the community, the decorations make
buyers feel like the home offers perfect entertaining
opportunities.
Patriotic Swags
During the 4th of July
preparations, welcome buyers with patriotic flags or
banners. If you have a front porch, swaged bunting or
pleated fans with red, white, and blue stripes look
great. Look for bunting that has sewn stripes, not
printed, and clean finished edges.

How to Display Flags
American
flags require specific etiquette for respect. The
American flag should proudly stand above any other
flags, such as your state or personal flag. Hang flags
vertically or horizontally with stars positioned at
the top left-hand corner when facing the flag. Flags
should never touch the ground and should be
illuminated after
dark if not taken down. Small decorative flags
embellish wreaths and potted plants.
Red, white, and blue streamers, ribbons, and flowers
finish the staged home's exterior.
Continue
the party and patriotic theme inside with fresh
flowers. Red roses, white Baby's Breath, and blue
statice make a great-looking arrangement. Add little
flags, ribbons, and streamers to greenery.

Staging your home for the 4th of July helps create
a buyers' "Dream Home" and makes you feel great at the
same time!
