Live on the Coke Side of Life

A lot of times, the image of decorating with antique Coke novelties is the one of overwhelming a room in red, along with black and white. We get that most people are trying to recreate the retro-style magic of the ’50s and ’60s Coke diner. But that is not your only option. There are plenty of other ways in which you can decorate with vintage Coke machines, large framed posters and other iconography. Use that rare coke poster just as any other poster in the home by framing it and accentuating the space with the right accent lighting.

There are many modern re-interpretations of the classic Coke poster that you can use in minimal and transitional spaces. A restored vending machine in the corner or even a large button-style minimalist Coke sign can get the job done with finesse. Remember that at the end of the day, too much red can be visually overwhelming, unless you are going all-out to embrace the Coke theme!

Where There’s Coke There’s Hospitality!

Why not embrace the tagline and philosophy that propelled Coke through the ’40s and ’50s? The fizzy sugar rush of the drink was combined with the idea of friends, family and good times very early in its marketing. That very image has persisted now for nearly a century! Celebrate this spirit of togetherness by decorating your game room, family area or even the man cave in the basement with Coke-inspired decor. Now, this is one place where you can go all out with the reds, and for the serious collectors, there is the possibility of decking out the space with some special vintage finds. A perfect way to add some cheer to the fun times!

A Refreshing New Feeling!

At Decoist, we are not just about going out and spending some cash to bring home amazing decor. (Though that is often what the lazy ones among us do.) It is time to take that old Coca-Cola crate and bottles and turn them into appealing and inventive decor. The DIY possibilities with a crate are obviously endless, and you can craft anything ranging from rustic wall shelves to magazine holders and home office organizers! One of the ideas that we absolutely loved is the use of spray painted Coke bottles, shown below. Easy to execute and a whole lot of fun, this decorative statement can be personalized with summer colors if you are not too keen on the fall gold version showcased here.

Open Happiness in the Kitchen

Many modern kitchens are trying their best to find that perfect balance between the old and the new. While functionality has taken a modern turn, a large number of homeowners still prefer a few classic design elements in the kitchen. Simple and unassuming, Coke banners and posters add this timeless touch without demanding too much in terms of effort and time. You can obviously craft a retro-style diner right next to the kitchen to enhance this look. The kitchen is one of the easiest places to incorporate eclectic and colorful features. Coke accessories also allow you to easily define and elevate the focal points in your culinary space.

  • Blackened Wood Apartment

    Taiwanese architecture studio CTT Architects designed this interior project for a doctor in Taipei City. The apartment is located on the 21st floor of the residential tower nestled in the mountains surrounding the Taipei Basin. The design concept places emphasis on the connection to the surrounding vistas. In contrast with the original layout, the living area has been rearranged such that one can enjoy the amazing urban night views whilst introducing the external greenery inside during the day. We have also tailored the layout to meet the requirements of the client’s modern life. Following a busy day at work, he can completely unwind in the living room in the midst of the mesmerising urban night views; and be awoken by the dappled morning sunlight reflecting off the surrounding green mountains. We believed that every aspect of an interior design requires a bespoke response to its own contextual surrounding as well as to the individual needs of the occupants. The different spatial functions such as bedroom and bathroom are seen as different grey units in the public space. However, homely styling is found inside the master bedroom. Wooden finishings are used to complement subtle light grey walls allowing the stunning views to be the main element – lush green mountain landscapes. At the entrance to the apartment, the simple grey wall with a small bench gives an air of simplicity in complete contrast with the mountain views seen through the expanse of the three window units, which speak for themselves. In the kitchen and dining area, the open plan provides ample space that can be adapted flexibly to suit the changing needs of the modern city dweller. In terms of material selection, fine textured black charred timber panels are deliberately chosen to frame the surrounding mountain and city views. The design strategy is to use the black charred wall to contrast with the green and sky during the day; at night, the blackened panels blend seamlessly into the night view. The custom-made black island comes with black taps to contrast with the white kitchen joinery behind. When it comes to detailing, our approach is to delineate different architectural elements through shadow gaps. For example the walls and ceilings are detached using shadows gaps which are also accentuated by indirect lighting after sunset. Every architectural element has been detached including the ceiling, beams, and walls to showcase themselves as individual elements and avoiding detractive decorations.
