Accessorize your Fallout Shelter

The end is near, but that’s no excuse for your fallout shelter to be bland.

Make sure you enter Post-Apocalyptic times in style with nine helpful interior decorating projects that will keep your underground Doomsday bunker as fresh as if Martha Stewart designed it herself.

1. Use bright colors. Like khaki. Only khaki. Anything more flamboyant will draw the attention of looters.

2. Fresh flowers can really make any ammunitions chamber more cheerful. So can the right kind of medicinal herbs.

3. Create a DIY Shipping Pallet coffee table. For a vintage feel, use a dark stain to age it, or just use it to barricade the door when the zombies come for you.

4. Invest in adding extra shelf space in your closet for your leather jacket and that one greasy, sweat-stained tank top you’ll have to wear all the time.

5. Nothing makes a space feel cozier than decorative throw pillows. Choose ones that are soft enough to sink into, but firm enough to scream into.

6. Consider rustic touches, like galvanized metal tubs or a bundle of firewood that can double as a heat source for the cans of baked beans you’ll need to survive off of when the power grid goes down.

7. Melt all the pennies, nickels, and dimes you can find into decorative clasps for your blackout curtains.

8. Take thick concrete walls from drab to fab with framed family photos. Maybe don’t hang that snapshot of the beloved family dog that you had to shoot after he began exhibiting symptoms of nuclear radiation poisoning. It’s still too fresh.

9. A chalkboard accent wall is perfect for leaving fun notes like “Dinner at 7!” or “SHHH, SECRET POLICE HAVE BUGGED THE HOUSE AND ARE MONITORING US.”

Whether it's a nuclear meltdown, economic destruction, zombies, or the collapse of society due to civil unrest - make sure your Doomsday bunker is ready so you can go out in style!
