8 Tips for an Awesome Game Room

by
Playing trivia board games with family and friends is a great way to relax, share fun experiences, and create memories. When the day settles down, and the night has fallen, what better way to enjoy the company of others than through games? If you have a basement in your home, consider converting it into a game room. It’s easier than you think. Here are some tips to help you put together the perfect game room. 1 - Invest in Lighting Solutions Light is a critical aspect of any room, and for a game room, the proper light is crucial. Tables and game boards should be well-lit, it’s not fun squinting or having to get closer to something to properly see it. Cool ambient light from lamps can fill the rest of the room and give it a nice touch. 2 - Use the Ideal Furniture Your furniture should be based on what types of games you will play in your game room. Do you have a bar area or pool tables in your game room? Get some stools. How about a dartboard? Use a rug or mat that designates the gaming spot. 3 - Be Clever with Your Space Usage Decide how you want your game room to look with a layout. Think about the types of games you’ll be playing in the room and the people you’ll have in it. Make sure to space your game tables, or chairs adequately to avoid issues and feeling like you are all being packed in like sardines. 4 - Use Proper Seating There’s no reason you can’t get creative with your design and furnishings, such as furniture that can double as a seat. Ideally, you want easy to move furniture to allow guests to move them wherever they need them to be. 5 - An Entertainment-Friendly Layout Your layout should be suitable for several guests if you plan to host more than a few people. Some games are just more fun with more participants and you want your game room to be able to accommodate. If you’re planning to have two or more TV sets, make sure you’ve set aside proper spacing for them and considered overlapping volume levels. 6 - Movie Theatre Environment Creating a combined space where you and your guests can enjoy movies and popcorn together is a great shared experience for weekend relaxation. After all, you can’t go to the movies without getting popcorn. A big-screen theater experience is more possible these days than ever before. 7 - Go All-In on Your Theme If you’re designing a game room to be mostly enjoyed through video games, consider choosing a game that you and your friends love and decorate the room in that style. Use your favorite characters and locations from that game, or several games, and give your game room some flavor. 8 - Make it Multi-Purpose You can combine many of the things you and your guests love to create the most enjoyable, and coolest, atmosphere to relax in. Pool tables, perhaps some music instruments, karaoke machines, big screen TV, game chairs, and other elements can help make sure that the room is able to accommodate various types of entertainment. Be creative with your design and what you decide to put in your game room.
