From the Strip to the casinos, Las Vegas has an aesthetic that nobody else can lay claim to besides its own. This creates an opportunity to embrace a look that is welcoming and iconic. To incorporate this change in your home, you can start with the following design choices: rose gold, other metallic accents, rich and deep purples, lots of velvets, and bringing in some mirrors. There are a variety of different things you can do to incorporate that Las Vegas look to your home, and we go over a few below.<\/p>\n
The Basics of the Las Vegas Strip Look<\/p>\n
Before beginning specific projects, it’s helpful to have a foundation of what makes up Las Vegas-inspired decor:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Metallic Finishes<\/b> – for a touch of luxury, Gold, silver, and metallics in general are important.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Bold Colors<\/b> – Create a visual impact with deep reds, royal blues, and purples.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Plush Fabrics<\/b> – Time for velvet, satin, & some faux fur for comfort and style.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Statement Pieces<\/b> – find a chandelier, large mirror, unique artwork, etc., and feature this magnificent furniture.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
D.I.Y. Projects for that Strip Glow<\/p>\n
Creating elaborate floral arrangements can be entertaining, but finding the perfect vase for your unique creations does not always go as planned. So why not show off your blooms in beautiful gold-dipped vases instead? Craft your favorite style with the distinct luxurious flair of the City of Blinding Lights.<\/p>\n
Our gold-dipped flower vases give life to your roses as well as the room in which they are placed, bringing a luxurious and chic touch to your environment. It’s precisely everything you would need to spend a night out in Las Vegas like a true high-roller: sparkles from the lighting; fabulous fragrance from your flowers. There’s nothing like glass vases for elegance – even when gold is the only touch of color. A simple solution!<\/p>\n
Materials:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Clear glass vases<\/span><\/li>\n
- Gold metallic spray paint<\/span><\/li>\n
- Painter’s tape<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructions: <\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Clean the glass vases with liberal amounts of cleaner, so the paint sticks securely. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Apply painter’s tape at all the boundaries you wish to keep empty (the paint will only touch new glass). <\/span><\/li>\n
- Take the gold metallic spray paint and apply it over the exposed area slowly and hold due to many light coatings to cover it completely. Wait for the paint to dry in its entirety before taking off something that needs protection in it. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Fresh flowers, feathers, twinkling LED lights…I could go on no matter how you fill these vases. These vases can be made with readily accessible materials and a decorative painterly touch.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Creativeness<\/p>\n
Take a look at these floor cushions if you are feeling like being creative this summer. Some companies take old sofas and armchairs and make throw pillows that cost as much as the big pieces would have! Now, let’s take our faux fur pillows one step further with some additional bling by adding some rhinestones.<\/p>\n
Materials:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Small cushion velvet\/fabric<\/span><\/li>\n
- Sewing kit (or just sew by hand)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Rhinestones<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Cut your fabric into two squares measuring slightly larger than your cushion size. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Then sew the two squares together leaving one side open to insert a cushion. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Turn the right side of your fabric with the opening for a cushion like a tube case. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Insert the cushion and sew the open side. If you want to be more in control of your rhinestone placement, opt for fabric glue. <\/span><\/li>\n
- If you want to add some more bling to your pillow, in a design you want, attach rhinestones using glue or sew them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
You can add a touch of luxury to your space by incorporating these pillows into a chair, bed, or sofa. They are so soft and inviting, that it is hard not to curl up with them!<\/p>\n
Mirrored Wall Art<\/p>\n
Many homes in Las Vegas these days are increasingly styled with an extra dose of sparkle – usually, an artfully glimmering mirror hangs upon the walls to not only subtly enhance the feeling of opulence in the room, but also catches the light in such a way that practically illuminates the room with a soft glow all at once.<\/p>\n
Materials:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Mirrors (small mirrors or mirrored tiles)<\/span><\/li>\n
- MDF board or a large canvas<\/span><\/li>\n
- Strong adhesive<\/span><\/li>\n
- Frame (optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Determine your layout for the mirrors on the board or canvas. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Once done, continue applying the mirrors, using strong adhesive as you go. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Let the adhesive take time to harden. For the completed look, you can opt for a frame that will either make the whole set-up more professional or give it a more modern, casual feel. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Tuck away the unsightly cords you may have hidden away and notice the version of your mirrored art with a new frame around it! Your art will have a more finished appearance in this case.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Hang it in your living room, or bedroom, or make a hallway or entryway or divider SPARKLE!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
DIY Crystal Chandelier<\/p>\n
One of the best places to start looking for a resources list to find crystal chandelier supplies is in your local home improvement stores. Crystal beads can be found in any fabric or craft store.<\/p>\n
These wonderfully unique and highly primitive-inspired fellas started life as wire hanging baskets and then replicated for chandeliers.<\/p>\n
Materials:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Wire<\/span><\/li>\n
- Crystal Beads<\/span><\/li>\n
- Light kit (optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Cut one length of fishing line or wire to create a layer of crystal strands. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Then fashion the strands of crystals together and attach them to a hanging basket working from the bottom up and creating a cascading effect. <\/span><\/li>\n
- You could potentially try bolting a light kit to the top of the basket if you wish to make an actual chandelier, instead of it being decorative only. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Install it in a central location to get the most impact out of their look and see their work as well as they know how.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Metallic Accent Wall<\/p>\n
Metallic accent walls convey the glitz and glamor that mirrors the tone of Las Vegas, creating a rich retreat in any room you add them to. If you’re going to go glamorous, I’m thinking big, bold, and inspired by the nightlife of the city. Metallic paint, because of its sheen, can make an entirely different impression.<\/p>\n
The effect from overhead lights is dazzling and feels like what happens on the strip with all of the lights staring back at you creating magnified reflections. The city of entertainment, high-end hotels, and diner shows, Las Vegas makes this stunning feature meld effortlessly into a home that’s all about luxury and entertainment. Which do you think–Gold? Rose Gold? Silver? Let’s begin!<\/p>\n
Materials:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- Metallic Paint (color of choice)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Painter’s tape<\/span><\/li>\n
- Roller & brush<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- First, you will want to select a wall and mark off the edge where the wall and ceiling meet with tape so the edge of the metallic wall stays nice and perfect! You’ll want to have a base coat of paint on there when necessary. <\/span><\/li>\n
- When ready, apply your metallic paint to a roller thoroughly. If you want, you can apply it with extra texture using a sponge or a rag. Accents with a special paint scheme could be an unparalleled backdrop for a glamorous chandelier or other art!<\/span><\/li>\n
- Once your DIY projects have been completed, it’s just a matter of assembling them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
