Serena Hey, hey! Are you all about celebrating the 4th of July but also want your home to feel cozy and festive on the inside?
I totally get it! Sometimes it’s just as fun to decorate the living room or kitchen as it is to deck out the yard.
And guess what? You don’t need to go overboard or spend a fortune to make your indoors look like a red, white, and blue dream.
Whether you’re hosting a family gathering, watching fireworks from the comfort of your couch, or just wanting to feel that patriotic vibe all day, I’ve got 30 indoor decor ideas that will give your space that 4th of July flair without a ton of effort.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
Stars and Stripes Wall Art
One of the easiest ways to bring the 4th of July into your home is through art.
Whether it’s a vintage flag print, a modern abstract star piece, or just a cute DIY project with wooden planks, this is a great way to add a little patriotism to your walls!
Patriotic Throw Blankets and Pillows
Throw pillows are one of my favorite ways to add a quick pop of color.
I swap out my regular cushions for red, white, and blue ones — some with stars, some with stripes, and some just plain cozy. Pair these with a soft blanket for the ultimate indoor comfort during a summer movie marathon.
Flag-Themed Centerpiece
One of my go-to indoor decor ideas is creating a statement centerpiece.
Grab a simple vase, fill it with red, white, and blue flowers, and place a mini flag in the center. It’s easy, pretty, and always gets compliments!
Red, White, and Blue Table Settings
Whether you’re hosting a full dinner or just having some snacks, red, white, and blue plates, napkins, and cutlery will make your table pop.
I love the idea of mixing these colors with a little sparkle, like glittery cups or plates.
Throw a patriotic runner down, and you’re set!
Patriotic Lanterns
DIY lanterns made from jars or old candle holders are an easy way to create a cozy, patriotic atmosphere. You can add fake candles inside or use LED string lights for an extra magical touch.
DIY American Flag Garland
This one’s a total crowd-pleaser and super easy to make!
Simply cut pieces of red, white, and blue fabric (or paper), then attach them to a string to create a banner. Hang it across the fireplace, along the staircase, or drape it over a mirror.
Patriotic Mason Jar Vases
I’m sure you’ve seen these a thousand times, but they’re just so cute and easy to make!
Paint mason jars in red, white, and blue and fill them with seasonal flowers or even festive straws.
You can also add glitter for that extra sparkle!
Fireworks-Inspired Wall Decals
If you’re renting or don’t want to commit to painting, wall decals are the way to go!
Fireworks decals are perfect for adding some fun and easy decor to your walls without a lot of work. Plus, they come off easily once the holiday’s over!
Patriotic Cookie Jars
I love having a festive snack station, and what better way to display it than with a themed cookie jar?
Fill it with red, white, and blue treats like cookies, candies, or even fruit. It’s a fun little touch that adds flavor and flair to your celebration.
Star-Shaped String Lights
Just like the outdoor string lights, these are perfect for inside! String them around your kitchen, along your mantel, or across the windows.
It’s a simple, but effective way to add a little sparkly magic to your space.
DIY Patriotic Photo Booth
Set up a photo booth in your living room or entryway with red, white, and blue props. Think fun things like hats, flags, sunglasses, and feather boas!
Guests will love taking silly pictures, and it’s a fun way to capture memories.
American Flag Doormat
I know we’re talking indoor decor, but this one is too cute not to mention. A flag-themed doormat is a great way to add some patriotic spirit to your entryway.
You can even DIY one using paint and a plain mat!
Patriotic Wine Glasses
If you love a good glass of wine (or lemonade!), you can make your own custom wine glasses.
Add red, white, and blue glitter to the base or paint the stems with stripes. It’s a fun and subtle way to include a touch of patriotism in your drinkware.
Red, White, and Blue Candles
Candles are my favorite way to instantly set the mood.
You can find candles in all sorts of colors, but I love creating my own layered ones! Use red, white, and blue candles in varying heights on your mantel, and light them as the sun sets.
DIY Patriotic Banner from Old T-Shirts
If you have old red, white, and blue t-shirts lying around (don’t we all?), you can repurpose them into a super cute, no-sew banner.
Just cut strips, knot them onto a string, and hang it up! It’s a fun and eco-friendly project!
4th of July-Themed Dish Towels
Changing out your dish towels for ones with patriotic colors or designs can subtly bring the spirit of the holiday into your kitchen. You can even use red, white, and blue napkins to create fun place settings.
Patriotic Bar Cart
If you have a bar cart or a little drink station, why not turn it into a 4th of July masterpiece? Add mini flags, red, white, and blue bottles, and fun drink stirrers.
Maybe even a punch bowl with some layered red, white, and blue drinks!
Red, White, and Blue Rugs
Change out your regular rug for a festive one. It’ll set the tone right when people walk in. I love a good statement rug — something with stripes, stars, or even a casual mix of patriotic colors!
Upcycled Tin Can Decor
Take those empty tin cans, spray paint them red, white, and blue, and fill them with fresh flowers. It’s a super simple and thrifty way to add some charm to your kitchen or living room.
Stars and Stripes Door Hanger
Hanging a wreath or door hanger on your front door is a great way to welcome the holiday. You can make a simple one with a star-shaped base, some ribbon, and miniature flags.
It’ll greet your guests with that all-American vibe.
Patriotic Wall Clock
If you’ve got a wall clock in your living room or kitchen, you could swap the face for one that’s a little more festive!
You can DIY a clock face with red, white, and blue stripes or stars, or just hang a simple red or blue clock.
DIY Balloon Bouquet
A balloon bouquet inside can really liven up your space. Cluster red, white, and blue balloons together and place them in vases or jars around the room. You can even attach mini flags to them for a fun touch!
Stars and Stripes Straws
For your party drinks, swap out regular straws for red, white, and blue striped ones. It’s a cute little detail, and you can even wrap a mini flag around the base for an extra patriotic touch.
Independence Day Memory Jar
Set up a little memory jar in your living room where guests can write down their favorite 4th of July memories or wishes for the future.
Not only does it make for a cute, interactive decor piece, but it’s something your family can look back on for years to come!
Vintage Firecracker Decor
If you love a bit of vintage flair, create or buy old-school firecracker decorations. These are easy to make with cardboard tubes painted red, white, and blue. They can stand on their own as part of your centerpiece or mantle decor.
Mini Fireworks Display with Glitter
DIY mini fireworks with glitter or sequins glued onto paper or cardstock. Stick them on walls or your dining table to create a bit of sparkle!
Patriotic Photo Frame
Frame your favorite photos of past 4th of July celebrations in red, white, and blue frames.
Display them on your mantle or side table. It’s a great way to bring in personal memories and celebrate the holiday.
