HOW TO DISPLAY THE FLAG
When Hung Flat

When the flag of the United States is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or outdoors.

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, i.e., the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be the same way.

The flag should never be draped or used as a decoration to replace bunting.
