Fourth of July Hosting Essentials

The Fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays to decorate for—it’s full of sunshine, celebration, and timeless red, white, and blue. Whether you're planning a backyard BBQ or a festive brunch indoors, our Oh My Stars collection makes it easy to host in style. We've also included a few of our favorite blue-themed kitchen essentials for a more subtle nod to the holiday.

Here’s everything you need to set a spirited and stylish Fourth of July table.

Start with a Festive Foundation

Kick things off with a patriotic base that’s easy to dress up or keep casual. The Stars & Stripes Jacquard Table Runner adds instant charm to any table with its classic american flag print, while our Americana Oval Braided Placemats offer a rustic, textured look that’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor gatherings.

If you prefer a softer palette, swap in our Stellar Blue Space Dyed Table Runner or Midnight Blue Round Fringed Placemats for an understated approach that still feels seasonally fresh.

Don’t Forget the Napkins

Nothing ties a table together quite like cloth napkins. Our Oh My Stars Printed Napkins bring classic Americana flair with a bold star pattern, while the solid Tango Red and Nautical Blue napkins offer a understated way to display color-scheme of the holiday.

Finish them off with our Star Napkin Ring for a touch of flair your guests will be sure to love. 

Style Your Kitchen to Match

Keep the patriotic spirit going with festive kitchen linens. The Patriot Dishtowel Set comes with coordinating designs—stars, stripes, and plaid—perfect for draping over your oven handle or folding into a bread basket.

Not hosting? Don't show up empty handed with our Americana Love Potholder Gift Set as the perfect gift for the host.

Prefer a Subtle Look?

Not everyone wants to go full-on red, white, and blue—and we get that. Grab some blue-themed kitchen items to add a gentle, summery feel without being too theme-heavy. Some of our favorites include:

• Dusty Blue Windowpane Apron - If you're cooking or grilling, this is a must-have for a subtle hint of blue. It’s adjustable, comfortable, and has plenty of pocket space. 

• Dusty Blue Potholder and Oven Mitt - Complete the set with matching oven mitts and potholders to keep your space coordinated and functional.

• Indigo Floursack Dishtowels - Cute enough to wrap the rolls for the table or hang over your shoulder while grilling to combat any spatters and clean up quick.
  

These pieces work beautifully for everyday use and still bring in that cool, celebratory color palette for the holiday.

The Finishing Touches

From tabletop to towel bar, the little details make your space feel extra special. Add in a set of fabric coasters, stash cutlery in a woven bin or basket, or sprinkle decorative table scatter to round out your look.

Celebrate in Style

Whether you’re going bold with stars and stripes or keeping it simple with blue accents, our Fourth of July essentials are made to mix, match, and use all summer long.
