Decorating Your Home for Memorial Day

5/31/2023

0 Comments

 
In the month of May, many people enjoy decorating their homes in honor of the men and women who have lost their lives fighting for our country. While many people get caught up in the activities taking place over a long weekend, it’s important not to lose sight of the importance of this holiday.

To help show your support for those who have fallen, as well as your patriotism for this country, there are many easy ways to dress up your home. Consider these simple suggestions to decorate your home for memorial day.

Show Off the American Flag

Of course, the simple and most powerful way to show your support and respect is to hang a flag outside of your home. Some people choose to add small (miniature) flags in their garden or landscaping.

If you wish to show a full-size flag, follow the “Memorial Day” guidance which states that the flag should remain at half-staff from sunrise until noon. After noon, raise the flag to full-staff to symbolize that our nation is still living. Not only is this a nice idea to show support in the community, but it’s also a personalized touch to honor any friend or family member who fought for our country.

With blue and red metal color options available through Valley Forge Cupolas, you can add a touch of patriotism to your home. Many people also add a magnetic American flag cover to their mailbox around this time of year.

Hang a Patriotic Wreath

Whether you purchase one or craft your own, hanging an American-themed wreath on your door adds color while also showing your support for Memorial Day. You may find patriotic wreaths at home stores or many craft stores.

0 Comments

 
From vacation homes to full-time coastal homes, there’s something special about seaside properties. Nearly any type of beach or coastal home can be enhanced with a beautiful Valley Forge Cupola. Unlike homes set in suburban or rural areas, choosing a cupola for a seaside property may require a different approach.
If you’re thinking of adding a handcrafted cupola to your seaside home, first consider these expert tips and tricks from the Valley Forge Cupola specialists.

Materials

When selecting materials for a coupla, it is always important to consider its environment. Homes in hot areas with high humidity need a cupola that can withstand moisture. 

For example, copper cupolas are an excellent choice for seaside homes as this material can withstand high temperatures and lots of moisture. We also recommend PVC Vinyl cupolas for these scenarios. Choosing the right materials for your cupola will help ensure its longevity.

Style and Design

Styles and architecture of seaside homes can vary quite a bit. Most homeowners want to add a cupola that enhances the beauty of their home without overpowering the home’s elements. During a design consult for a custom quote, we can help provide suggestions based on the look of your home. Our custom options allow you to see a digital mock-up of our idea for your home’s cupola, helping you make the best style and design choice possible.

Lighting

Consider the atmosphere of your home’s street and surroundings at night. Do you want your cupola to light up your home and become a focal point? If so, we recommend choosing a windowed cupola that allows just the right amount of light to pass through. Again, our specialists can help walk you through the many available options for windowed cupolas.

Don't Rush the Decision

When it comes to picking a coupla, there’s no need to rush. With so many styles and design options available, take some time to sleep on your decision. Our cupola specialists are always here to support you and answer any questions you might have throughout the process. We look forward to helping you create a dream cupola for your seaside home!

As experts in all things related to cupolas, we’ve heard it all! One of the most commonly asked questions from our customers is about how long they can expect their cupola to last. When making an addition or improvement to your home, it only makes sense that you’d want to know what type of lifespan to expect.

In the market for a cupola, but not sure if it’s a good investment? Below, we’ll explore the answer to this frequently asked cupola question.

Longevity of a Cupola
Instead, choosing a Valley Forge Cupola ensures you’ll get a cupola from only the highest quality materials. Our cupolas are designed to last for decades, making the addition of a cupola an intelligent investment in the aesthetics and value of your home. We offer cupolas in a variety of different materials, including metal and vinyl cupolas.
​

Need help determining which material is best for you? Before you purchase, speak to our cupola specialists. We will happily listen to your unique preferences and help recommend the longest-lasting cupola for your specific structure.

Caring for your Cupola
Properly caring for your cupola is also important to ensure it lasts for a long time. If your cupola is wooden, you’ll want to make sure it is painted or sealed per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Regularly pressure washing your cupola is also a good idea, helping to remove debris and bugs that can eat away at the paint.

Vinyl cupolas are an ideal choice for homeowners who want a maintenance-free cupola. This material is designed to withstand the elements, keeping your home looking beautiful for decades.
