The Top Flags To Spruce Up Your Workshop

workshop flags

Flags are the world’s most popular type of wall art. By hanging one on your wall, you can make a statement and send a message. You can tell people exactly where you stand politically and socially, without saying a single word.

When you’re considering which flag to hang up from your workshop’s wall, there’s a lot to think about. Bear in mind, if you’re not a very political person, then you should avoid hanging flags with political connotations, so as to avoid arguments.

In this article, you’ll find a list of popular flags that you can hang up in your workshop:

1. Your Country’s Flag

Wherever you live in the world, hanging your country’s flag from the wall can send a message: You’re proud of where you’re from, and you want the world to know it.

Flag specialists UltimateFlags say that hanging a flag can help you to celebrate history, virtues, and what you believe in. In addition, hanging your country’s flag from the wall can help to remind you of home. If you live abroad, then hanging your country’s flag can help to keep you connected to your roots and your people.

2. Your School’s Flag

If you went to school or college in the United States, then your school will probably have its own flag. The same is usually true for elite schools in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Not only are school flags trendy (especially if you’re into vintage Americana style), but they help to remind you of where you come from (and how far you’ve come). A lot of people also like to hang their school’s flag from the wall as a souvenir. If your school, your recent carpentry course, or even your favorite table saw has a flag, hanging it up in your garage is a great idea.

3. Another Country’s Flag

You don’t necessarily have to be from a country to hang their flag up. For example, some of the most popular flags that are hung decoratively in countries all around the world, are the flags of the United Kingdom and the United States. They’re hung by people who enjoy these countries’ histories, their values, and by people who may possibly want to move to them in the future.

If there’s a flag that you enjoy looking at or feel a strong connection to, but it’s not your own, you can still buy it and hang it up.

4. Political Figures

A lot of people like to hang flags that have pictures of political figures that they idolize up from their walls. You can too.

One of the world’s most popular flags is of Argentinian revolutionary, Che Guevara. Che Guevara’s flag is hung in colleges, homes, and workplaces all around the world, by people of all ages. The red flag bearing an image of Che Guevara wearing a beret is iconic.

If you have any political heroes, then why not hang a flag of them from your workshop’s walls? If you can’t find any flags online, you can use a website that allows you to create your own.

5. Celebrities and Superheroes

In addition to flags that have pictures of political figures, you can also buy flags that have pictures of celebrities and superheroes. Flags don’t have to be political.

When it comes to superheroes, there’s infinite merchandise. You shouldn’t have trouble finding a flag that bears the image of your favorite superhero, especially if they’re from the Marvel or DC Universe.

6. Political Movements

If you want to make a political statement, then you can hang a flag from your workshop’s wall that has a political emblem on it. At the moment, people all around the world are hanging the Black Lives Matter flag from the walls of their offices, garages, and houses. If you support the movement, then you can hang their flag up.

Alternatively, you can hang the flag up of any other movements that you support, as long as their emblems and logos are appropriate and non-offensive. You should never hang up offensive flags, especially in commercial workshops. You could put off potential customers from doing business with you.

7. Social Movements

The LGBT flag is a very popular flag, that can be found hanging in bedrooms, offices, businesses, and from buildings throughout the world. It’s a great social movement to support and a great flag to hang up from your workshop’s wall. Hanging up the flags of social movements is a great way to show your support.

If you want to spruce up your workshop, then hanging a flag from its walls is the safe way to do it. Make sure that you only hang up flags that are appropriate and non-offensive. Do your research and have fun.
