Our Top Picks of Team-Themed Spaces—Tar Heels and Blue Devils

Living in North Carolina, we get our fair share of fantastic college sports. If you can’t attend those sports in person, the next best thing is setting up a team-themed viewing space somewhere in your home from the basement to the attic.

Here are our top picks for the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Duke Blue Devils. Have fun with these incredible spaces and tons of memorabilia.
