How to Decorate a Room With Famous Vintage Music Posters

Posted on by

If you love music and you have rooms or a home that is themed to different eras then are some very famous and iconic music posters that you can buy to decorate those rooms with.

For instance, if you are into a Mad Men or Fifties style of décor you might enjoy the famous image of the Rat Pack standing in front of the Sands hotel in Las Vegas, just before playing a big gig. Yet another famous image from that era features Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and the rest of the gang playing pool. You can also get a famous poster of Sammy Davis Junior, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin Live At Carnegie Hall.

If your era is the sixties then you might relate to hanging a poster of the Beatles crossing Abbey road. You can also get a later poster from the seventies of all five Beatles from the “Let It BE” album. Another popular Beatles poster is The Beatles Yellow Submarine cover which is very psychedelic and suits decors from the early seventies.

Posters of Elvis Presley from that era are great too. There is also a great seventies style of iconic image that features Elvis in his white suited glory playing in Las Vaegas that is easy to find online.

If you are doing a décor that has more of a casual seventies flair then you could always decorate in the hippie style. An idea is to use the famous Jimi Hendrix poster where is done in burgundies and blues and surrounded by a halo of purple and yellow stripes. There is also the Pose poster which features the artist done in black, white and blood red.

If your décor is a bit causal and late seventies, complete with Ikea shelves and bean bags from BeanBags.com , you can get coupons for BeanBags.com on a site like CouponKid.com . Then put up posters of John Lennon in New York or John Lennon from Imagine will compliment your walls nicely. There is also a very famous John Lennon People for Peace Poster which features him singing at his white piano with a big peace sign over his head.

If Punk was a bit more your style and your décor is late seventies and early eighties neon and shabby chic then you might want to buy a retro Ramones Rocket to Russia poster which features the leather clad band in photographic greys and whites bordered with bright purple writing. You can also get versions of this poster with pink writing. Other popular images of the Ramones include the Ramones Presidential Seal Poster and the black and white Ramones Gabba Gabba Hey Poster.

How to Decorate With Seventies Style Tiffany Lamps

Posted on by

Tiffany Lamps can add a seventies touch to your décor. Even a really modern white and orange plastic mod seventies look can be augmented by a tiffany glass simply because the “surprise” of something out of date is part of the entire 70s look – like something out of a Stanley Kubrick movie. Also tiffany lamps had a real heyday in the 1970s and were a hot lamp (no pun intended.) They were widely sought after collectibles during that time and also that was the decade when many factories opened up to start making reproduction Tiffany lamps. These reproductions are easily identified because the way the glass is cut is more reminiscent of the type of broad and curvaceous shapes that you would see in something like the Beatles animated movie “Yellow Submarine.”

Tiffany style lamps were also very much a part of the country styles of décor that were popular in the seventies. They went well with stuffed brown couches and octagonal shaped side tables. Many gaudier examples of tiffany lamps were seen hanging by big looped cords over dining room tables in seventies color schemes such as orange and brown or mustard and green. At the time these types of tiffany lamps could be picked up for ten bucks at a mall but nowadays they can be worth a small fortune so if you have one in your garage you might want to consider putting it up on e-Bay.

The nice thing about a Tiffany lamp, no matter what era it is from, is that it can reflect little coin or diamond shaped shards of light that can end up on your wall. This gives any room a very cozy and elegant touch. Tiffany lamps are also very nice to read by as the light from them is bright, but has a soft quality. Tiffany lamps also look best in a dark corner where they can shine in their full glory.

The less clutter that is around a Tiffany lamp the better it looks. Most have very elegant lamp bases as well that are reminiscent of flower stems or curved like swan’s necks.

By the way if you are a woman and you want to make yourself look younger, try putting a tiffany lamp with a pink themed lampshade on your bedroom table. This will shed a soft pink glow that will make you appear more youthful.

Depending on what you pair the lamp with the room can look neo-modern, countrified or like you have a real appreciation for antiques.
