Decorative Seasonal Flags Come In Many Shapes And Sizes

By Marissa Velazquez


Decorative seasonal flags are a unique and inexpensive way for homeowners to adorn the outside areas of their homes, which has contributed to their growth in popularity. They can be purchased online, but most larger home centers and department stores have them readily available. You will likely find almost any theme imaginable, and they come in various sizes and shapes.

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.

While they do come in many shapes and sizes, most belong to either the small or large category. The small variety may be more versatile as the holders can be placed near a mailbox, along a path or almost anywhere the homeowner chooses. The larger type is similar to a standard sized country flag, and may be flown from a pole in the ground or attached to the side of the house using a special bracket.

The popularity of these flags also has to do with the almost limitless variety of seasonal themes that are available. As would be expected, most manufacturers cover all of the major holidays, but there are also various themes that depict some of the familiar elements of each season. For example, popular images for summer include honey bees going in and out of a hive or brightly colored wild flowers. For the fall, images such as leaves, cornucopias and pumpkins are quite common.

Another reason this type of flag is so popular is that they are easily accessible. Most large home centers and major department stores have a decent selection in their lawn and garden or seasonal department. However, if you are looking for something more unique, a specialty store may have more to choose from. You may even be able to find a flag with a specific theme related to a hobby or personal interest if you 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.
