Pomp, pageantry, and shades of Napoleonic elegance put a spin on stateside red, white, and blue, marching into interiors anew with fresh global gusto.

The classic color palette of red, white and blue is showing up everywhere right now—from textiles to tabletop to furniture. The red, white and blue color scheme always has a certain pomp and festiveness to it. It also has a crispness and brightness that conjures up the summer season, so you can’t help but feel joyful when seeing these colors together.

Here's how to nail the red, white, and blue decor trend in your own home all year long. Go ahead and revel in the unabashed tricolor joie de vivre!
