Fourth of July Decorating, Minus The Fireworks

Flowing American flags, creative paper lanterns, festive floral displays and star-studded pillows and cushions can transform any home - inside and out - into a patriotic display that is truly worthy of fireworks. With a little planning, few dollars and a touch of decorating inspiration, the Fourth of July can be a proud theme beautifully displayed by any home, according to Little Flower Creative, a division of The asterism* Group.

"Celebrating our nation's Independence Day can be a fun decorating experience for the entire family and a real inspiration for your neighbors, family and friends," reports CJ DiRoma, President of Little Flower Creative, and a home and business decor and style expert. "Whether you live in a farmhouse, a classic Victorian or a quaint Cape Code or a spacious rancher, your home already has the ingredients to sparkle on the Fourth of July."

Little Flower Creative, experts in interior and exterior style consulting for homes and businesses, as well as a boutique creative services firm specializing in sophisticated design, literary and publishing projects for diverse creative clients, offers these simple tips for adding the right patriotic sparkle for the Fourth of July.

* Dress your home with beautiful star-studded pillows, cushions, picture frames and more to bring the spirit of our nation's red, white and blue celebration to life.

* Fly Old Glory proudly on your front porch or deck and accent the starts and stripes with picture perfect accents, ranging from vintage mailboxes adorned with red, white and blue, potted geraniums featuring miniature American flags and more. Look through your garage or attic for charming relics that may seem trivial, until they are adorned with red, white and blue decorations. Even a simple, little teapot can be picturesque as a vase for red, white and blue carnations.

* Turn your kitchen into a color palette designed for the Fourth of July with blue plates, red-and-white checkered table linens and star-spangled salt and pepper shakers. Enjoy the fun of entertaining with red, white and blue napkins. Turn even the basic components of your kitchen, such as shelf liners, into an expression of red, white and blue accents that play off of patriotic plates, glasses and even brilliantly bright dish towels fit for Uncle Sam.

* Get creative with starstruck banners. Easy-to-assemble Fourth of July colorful banners of stars are available at most craft stores. Attach a bold red string or blue ribbon to sparkly red and blue stars for a signature style boost to any Independence Day celebration.

* Enjoy the fun of Americana with buntings, swags, wreaths, decorative pails and even spindle yard stakes that display the red, white and blue fun proudly - the perfect accents to an overall celebratory theme showcasing the American Flag and the pride your family has for the Fourth of July.

"The fun of decorating for the Fourth of July is limitless - have fun," DiRoma shares. "Display a patriotic utensil caddy or Americana woven bunting, show your neighbors your stars and strips and enjoy the simple decorations and style changes that will transform your home into one fit for Uncle Sam."
