The advantages of the medium M size
This garland is a more comfortable choice for a smaller balcony or for decorating an indoor corner. It does not take up too much space, yet it is clearly visible, and 25 flags line up on a single cord. You will likely enjoy how the colours bring life to a space, and how a gentle airflow turns the flags from one side to the other on ordinary weekdays as well.
Where you can use it comfortably
It nicely spans the distance from one end of a balcony to the other. Indoors it has a place in the corner of the living room, around the window of a child’s room, or above a bookshelf. It is also a friendly welcome at the entrance, where your eye lands on the colourful flags whenever someone arrives home through the door.
The traditional colours
Tibetan prayer flags use five traditional colours that, according to the old understanding, are linked to the five elements of nature. The colours repeat in order along the garland, and each flag carries printed symbols. You do not need to know the tradition in depth, since the visual itself brings a friendly, cheerful mood to a room.
Weather resistance
The flags are made of fabric and dyed in lasting, vivid colours. Outdoors, sunshine and rain gradually soften the colours over time, which tradition considers a natural process. Indoors they keep their vividness for a long time. During the winter months it is worth bringing the outdoor ones inside so they last longer.
Hanging and care
Use the loop or cord at each end to simply tie it between the chosen points. Do not pull it too tight, so the breeze can move the flags gently. If it gets dusty, you can gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid the washing machine and strong detergents, so the colours stay vivid at home.
