The most popular way to display the American flag involves hanging it from a vertical pole. You’ll find millions of homes and businesses throughout the United States displaying the American flag in this manner. However, if you don’t own a flagpole — or if you’re simply looking for an alternative way to display the American flag — you might be wondering if it’s okay to mount the American flag flush against a wall.

Mount With Stars on Left

The U.S. Flag Code allows the American flag to be displayed on a wall — but only if it’s mounted in the appropriate position. According to the U.S. Flag Code, the American flag should be mounted on walls, windows or doors with the stars on the left (from an observer’s perspective). In other words, when you look up at the American flag mounted on your wall, you should see the stars on your left side.

Displaying Two Flags on a Wall

It’s not uncommon for homeowners and business owners to display the American flag in conjunction with another flag, such as the flag of their home country or a state flag. The U.S. flag code also allows two flags to be displayed on walls, windows or doors. When displayed together, though, they must be properly positioned in relation to each other. Under the U.S. Flag Code, the American flag, when mounted on a wall with another flag, should be positioned on the left (from an observer’s perspective), while the other flag should be positioned on the right (from an observer’s perspective). The two flags should both be positioned at an angle so that they are pointing away from each other. When mounting two flags in this manner, the poles will cross each other, in which case the pole of the American flag should be in front of the other flag’s pole. While most homeowners and business owners prefer to display the American flag by hanging it from a vertical pole, the U.S. flag code supports other ways to display our country’s flag, including mounting it on a wall. When mounting the American flag on a wall, however, you must position it so that the stars on the left (from an observer’s perspective). And if you decide to mount it on a wall with another flag, place the American flag on the left and the other flag on the right. Following these guidelines ensures that you are compliant with the U.S. flag code.
