Rat Pack Christmas Decorations

The Solution
The designers concentrate on aqua, silver and royal blue. Inspired by the 1950s architecture of the home and the roommates' love of entertaining, they design a Rat Pack-style Christmas decor. To match some vintage blue and silver wrapping paper that Lee found, two of the walls are painted royal blue, and the other two are painted a lighter blue. Silver starbursts adorn the walls, and vintage accessories tie the theme together. A new shag rug and coffee table are placed in front of the black leather sofa, and the updated bar has two new silver and black stools. This room is definitely ready to party!
