Decorative Seasonal Flags For All Occasions

By Marissa Velazquez


Decorative seasonal flags continue to grow in popularity as they are a relatively inexpensive way for homeowners to spruce up their various outdoor spaces and express their unique interests. They come in many different shapes and sizes and the themes are almost limitless. They are also readily available at most larger department stores and home centers and can even be purchased online.

Seasonal flags have become an increasingly popular lawn and garden accessory. While they are available in various shapes and sizes, most banners of this type are fairly inexpensive. This is one reason many homeowners like to change them frequently, to go along with the change in seasons or to celebrate a particular holiday or festive occasion.

This seasonal decor can be used indoors. However, it is more common to see them on display outside, often near the front door. The larger types may be attached to poles in the ground or held by brackets mounted directly to the siding. The more versatile smaller versions hang from small stands with sharp stakes that push into the ground.

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.

Another reason these flags are so popular is there is almost no limit to the types of seasonal themes you can find. Of course, all of the major holidays are covered by most manufacturers, but you can also find many themes that have more to do with the elements of nature found in a particular season. For example, colorful wild flowers or honey bees buzzing around a hive are popular themes for summertime, while fall leaves, pumpkins and cornucopias are popular for the autumn.

Seasonal flags are also fairly easy to find. Many larger home centers and department stores carry them in their lawn and garden departments. However, there are also specialty stores that may carry some of the more unique designs. By shopping online, you may be able to find a specific theme that relates to a personal interest or hobby.

Livening up an outdoor space is easy with fun and affordable decorative seasonal flags. Any homeowner should be able find at least a few that match their tastes. Shopping online may be the way to go if you are looking to find a particular size or shape or a theme that matches your own personal interests.
