A Simple Makeover

Sometimes you do not need a whole lot to give a modern or contemporary media room that sports-inspired look. You can add something as simple as pillows with monograms of your favorite team, a few posters on the wall or even just photos of your days in college when you were on the football team to give the room that subtle, sports-themed look. Over time you can switch to movie posters and flashy lights or even other specific themes with ease and without having to later much in terms of décor.
