Steelers Fan For Life

Do you want to show the love of your team through interior decorating?  Here are some great tips and tricks on how to make a Steeler room in your home.  Keep reading to learn about what paint, furniture, and accessories to use to make your NFL room really stand out.

1.  Design your walls black and gold. Paint the walls of a bright room black with a gold stripe or paint a black stripe flanked in gold, resembling the letters on the white team jerseys, in an existing white painted room. Run a horizontal black stripe around the ceiling as a border and line it in gold.

2.Pick black furniture with gold accents. Attach a 52-inch black television to the wall -- after all, you want to see every nuance in the game -- and place a black shelf below for the electronics. Position a black leather sofa across from the TV with a couple of black leather club chairs with gold accents. Add a gold-veined mirrored coffee table in front of the sofa and between the club chairs for snacks held in Steeler fan bowls.

3. Bring in black and gold fabric. Go to the local craft store for Steeler material and make your own no-sew curtains or drape floor-length black curtains over the rod and tie them back with gold tassels. Buy throw pillows and a blanket sporting the Steeler logo or go for a black fabric trimmed with gold accent fringe for the pillows and blanket.

4. Hang artwork and photographs on the walls. Pick artwork where the predominant color in the painting is black or gold. Pick black frames for sepia photographs, as they have a goldish tinge to the picture, or place black and white photographs into a gold metallic frame. Frame a couple of pictures of Big Ben, the team and the cheerleaders and group them together on the wall.

5.Accessorize the room. Place a clock on the shelf with a couple of black marble sculptural pieces, such as a pyramid or a square box. Place black and gold tissue paper flowers into a black vase or metallic gold urn and set on a black bookshelf. Stand a collection of gold chargers on the shelf against the wall, with black glass plates and beer steins or wine glasses in front.
