When we began building our basement, we settled on a New Orleans Theme. We had lived in New Orleans for several years and enjoyed the experience for the most part, and wanted to bring a bit of that New Orleans flavor to our home. What better way to decorate a basement party room than with a bit of Mardi Gras? 
We used this decorating project as an excuse to return to New Orleans for a shopping trip. We purchased ceramic and wooden masks. Collected a gross of Mardi Gras beads, and also purchased a few pieces of artwork from New Orleans Artists.
Other elements that helped bring the New Orleans Flavor to our basement was the fabric colors of green, gold, and purple, but in more subtle colors than typically found in New Orleans. We added iron tables with glass toppers, and wrought iron barstools as well. My basement is currently a work in progress and I am always looking for New Orleans elements to add.
One main element you will find in our New Orleans basement party room is the fleur-de-lis. You will find this design all over New Orleans. I recently came across this Calabria Metal Glass Candle Lantern that would be a great addition to my room. The dimensions are 26”H X 12” wide. It is designed to affix to the wall and holds candles. This wall art lantern will definitely add to the ambiance of my basement.
