A Casino Themed Room: The Best Bet

If you love the thrill you get from gambling or just being in a casino, why not bring Las Vegas back with you from your vacation, and have that electric Vegas feeling all year round. All you need is to decorate your living room, home office or game room into a casino themed room. Here's how you can do this.

A room will be brimming with life with a mini Las Vegas look. For a reasonable budget, you can have your own casino haven. It can be a classic early 1900's look that reminds you of swanky suits, tobaccos, evening gowns and coiffed hair. The Godfather just suddenly crossed my mind. How about a more modern take? Take your cue from the setting of Ocean Eleven and Casino Royale. Perhaps, be more specific and use Italian extravagance of the Bellagio or the trendy Caesar's Palace.

What's a casino without the famous poker game? Make use of poker chips in accessorizing the room. Stick them on candleholders, arrange them creatively on tables, garnish photo frames with these red chips, and so on.

Decorate with casino equipment like a slot machine, poker table, blackjack board and such. If there's enough space, you can have a mini bar for some drinks for a good break from your intense poker and card games.

Cards make great game items, but if you use them as decors, they actually make interesting pieces. Display all sorts of shapes and colors and you'll surely get compliments for your creativity. Casino-related or Las Vegas located movie posters are also great additions. For a more polished look, frame them and they'll be wall ready. Examples are: Casino Royale, What Happens in Vegas, Las Vegas (the series), Ocean Eleven and the classic Martin Scorsese masterpiece, Casino.

As for the color, go for a dark shade. Black, purple and dark blue are top choices. Casinos have a dim look, so try to achieve this look for a more realistic take on the design.

A richly colored area rug like in red or maroon will be a definite standout. Have a rug cushion your poker table. If there's a sofa set, throw in an area rug too for a more coordinated look. The vivid color of the area rugs will brighten up the dark Vegas room.

Birthdays and play days will be more fun in a casino-themed room. Now, you don't need to book a flight to Las Vegas and spend all your fortune. Stay right at home and have as much fun as if you're in the City of Lights without the hassle and expenses.
