Idea #1: Tigers' Den Lair:
1. Walls: Paint all walls in a shade of purple, LSU's signature color.
2. Accents: Add gold accents, another essential LSU color, throughout the room. This could include stripes, stencils, or even furniture and accessories in gold or yellow.
3. Tiger Logo: Paint a large LSU tiger logo on one of the walls or consider a vinyl decal sticker for an easy application.
4. Ceiling: Paint the ceiling white and add purple and gold stripes.
5. Floor: If you have a hardwood or laminate floor, consider adding a purple and gold area rug. For carpeting, you can opt for a solid purple carpet or install gold carpet tiles in a tiger stripe pattern.
Idea #2: Football Field Theme:
1. Walls: Paint one wall a vibrant green to resemble a football field, while the other walls stay purple and gold.
2. End Zone: Paint a white rectangle on the green wall to represent the football field's end zone. You could also add yellow goal posts at either end.
3. Tiger Paw Prints: Stencil tiger paw prints on the walls or floor.
4. Ceiling: Paint the ceiling the same purple as the main walls and add white stripes running down the center to mimic stadium lights.
5. Floor: For a dramatic touch, install artificial turf in the rec room to complete the football field look.
Idea #3: Vintage Bayou Room:
1. Walls: Paint the walls a deep purple, reminiscent of the Mississippi River.
2. Accents: Use white or light gray accents to provide a contrast to the dark purple walls. This could include moldings, trim, and furniture.
3. Murals: Add murals or decals of bayou scenes, including cypress trees, water, and wildlife.
4. Ceiling: Continue the dark purple color from the walls onto the ceiling.
5. Floor: If feasible, install wooden planks to give a rustic, bayou cabin vibe. If not, you can use a dark laminate flooring or a deep purple carpet.
Remember, these ideas are just starting points. You can customize and combine elements from each concept to create a unique LSU-themed rec room that reflects your passion for the Tigers.
