How to Decorate With Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola is a classic soda brand that has been around since the 1800s. You might identify an ice cold Coca-Cola with hot summer barbecues, delicious burgers and fries or simply as your favorite sweet beverage; decorating with a Coca-Cola theme is one way to relive these fond memories all of the time. Creating a Coca-Cola theme isn't hard to do and with the right amount of creativity you can have a Coca-Cola room in no time.

Instructions

    • 1

      Use a red piece of furniture as the central point of the room. Bring along can or piece of a Coca-Cola (www.coca-cola.com) box when you go shopping to find that exact Coca-Cola red color. For example, a sofa in Coca-Cola red, or a sofa covered with a suitable slipcover, could be the main piece in your room or for a bedroom try a Coca-Cola red comforter.

      Shop around at antique stores for Coca-Cola décor. Many antique stores sell old signs, bottles and even Coca-Cola vending machines, although machines are on the pricey side. To save time call ahead and ask if the shops sell Coca-Cola products. Also browse products at Coca-Cola's official website, which offers a number of décor pieces.

      Paint the trim of the room in the same Coca-Cola red as your furniture piece. Painting the trim with this bright red add a nice accent without making the room too bright and overwhelming. Leave walls white, or paint them white if they aren't already that color, so your room features the two main colors of a can of Coca-Cola.

      Collect Coca-Cola bottle caps and make décor pieces out of them. Glue caps to picture frames to make a Coca-Cola frame. Glue caps to vases or atop a coffee table or nightstand for a Coca-Cola tabletop.

      Purchase curtains and throw pillows in red and white to accent your red piece of furniture and the red and white walls. Add color by using sheer red curtains over linen white curtains, mix-matched red and white throw pillows and red or white throw rugs. Don't use too much of one color, as you want a nice balance.
