Having a room for all manner of vintage paraphernalia from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s is a great idea to add aesthetic appeal to your home.  To get started creating a vintage room in your home, first address the walls.  Think about what people would see on the walls in the mid 1900s; whether it’s a vintage Pepsi sign or an advertisement for Pan-American airlines, create the right aesthetic beginning with the walls.  Next address the furniture: consider items like a jukebox, a vintage diner set, or a worn leather chair.  For the carpet, consider fun black and white tiles or even shag carpet. 

Once you’ve got the essential items down, make sure to add lots of little sculptures, figurines, and pieces of art that represent the era.  When the room is completed, you’ll have an excellent space to lounge, relax, and travel to the past.  Vintage rooms are great for guests as well; you might even think about adding a bed to make it a vintage guest room!
