Can this room be saved???

The finished attic rec room in my new home has burnt orange carpeting, which is quite lovely with the aged pine walls and skylight – a very “warm” feeling room, quite ski-lodgey, actually. The walls are angled – as in an attic or a ski lodge – and so are not conducive to hanging artwork. My rec room furniture is red leather, glass and chrome – quite cool and modern. Is there anything I can do to make this furniture work in this room??? Please help – I cannot afford new furniture or carpeting!

Sounds truly eclectic! I’d use retro electronics (clock, radio, telephone) in shades of red, black and chrome.

For some reason tiki comes to mind, maybe because it was popular during the “atomic age”. Accesorize the room with some tiki glasses used as a pencil holder, remote control caddy, vase or water glass.

Unique, funky lamps from the 60s in browns and oranges would be pretty.
Search Ebay for inspiration, then head to your local thrift and resale shops.

Use sculptural wall art in place of traditional art on the walls. Again, search ebay for inspiration, then check out your local thrift, resale and furniture stores for something that you like.

Shaggy throw blankets and pillows are really popular right now at department stores. Get them in black, orange or red.

Have fun!
