Decorating a Tanning Salon (Mexican Theme)

RE: Decorating a Tanning Salon (Mexican Theme) Post by -blondee (2) | (06/20/2008) Contact I've been hand sprayed, mysic sprayed, magic tanned, and self sprayed, from the west coast to the east coast, all of them countless times..........the one thing about hand air brushing that seems to be consistant with salon hand air brushing is that there is never enough light for the tech to see that they are spraying evenly..............make sure you have good bright light....the decorating thing isnt all that important to me as long as I get a good even tan........

I've seen them on the walls as decoration and it gives the idea of what their tan is for!

They look fantastic on the walls, and are really inexpensive.

Texturing the wall, sort of a Monterrey finish is very nice, what prints do you have? Hopefully, Frieda Kahloe type or something. No Zapata or anything like that. Use silver mirrors or gilded gold and they have beautiful star shape chandeliers that you can hang in different sizes. They can be wired for lights or not. I have white fairy lights in mine. Lots of wooden candle holders with gazing balls on them would also be nice. The sarapes on the floors also would be nice.

I have a spray tan room. IT will need to be painted brown because there will be over spray everywhere. Caltan Suggests you paint it brown almost the same color as the spraytan. ALSO spray tan is very sticky!! it leaves a residue everywhere. ANy decorations will be covered in a brown sticky solution. I would also advise getting an overspray reduction fan. Anything put in that room will get ruined.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Decorating a Tanning Salon (Mexican Theme) Post By ATM (Guest Post) (01/27/2005) Here's my perspective as a designer: Darker paint color is practical, but go with the terra cotta color, not green. Dark green is oppressive without sunlight, so terra cotta would be a better choice for a windowless room. Avoid the texture paint -- you need to be able to clean the walls occasionally. Plus, you can never get rid of the texture once you put it on. Figure out which wall will be the focal point of the room, (probably the one facing the door), do something high impact on that wall, and do very little on the other walls. It's a pretty small room, so avoid clutter and don't have decorative items on the floor -- just the walls. I would suggest: a large, tonal mexican blanket hung on the focal wall for maximum impact, and mexican prints to take up the "blank space" on one or two other walls. Make sure the prints, blanket, and paint colors work together (lay them all together and look to see if anything clashes).

Cut some cacti outlines out of thin board with a jigsaw and paint. Attach a stand to the base at the back so they stand up right - and hang a sombrero or two on them. Or attach them to the wall - or just paint them straight onto the wall away from the 'spraying area'.

You might even be able to find some that are washable.

Have you tried the Oriental Trading Company or a local party store? You might be able to find some reasonably priced decorations there. Report Spam or Abuse
