Whether you call it a game room or a billiard room, it is a space that is typically associated with rich colors, intricate woodwork and priceless memorabilia. A billiard table is often the centerpiece of a game room and can be accompanied by a card table, ping pong table, dartboard and other recreational games. To take your game room from basic to show-stopping, incorporating additional luxe elements that will serve as talking points for everyone who joins you. Read on to find out how to elevate your ultimate game room.
Operate a Complete Bar
A spot to prepare the perfect Manhattan or Old-Fashioned is a must in a game room. A bar equipped with an ice machine, sink, refrigerator and a complete set of bar accessories will make preparing cocktails a breeze during competitive billiards games. Not to mention, it’s an excellent place to take a break from a competitive billiards game to stop and watch this week’s game.
Showcase Vintage Accents
A game room is an ideal location to showcase your antique or vintage collectibles. Whether it’s a vintage billiards table, card table or a one-of-a-kind light fixture overhead, your unique antique pieces will be what sets your game room apart. Antique pieces are what can take your game room from generic to one-of-a-kind.
Display Priceless Memorabilia
Whether it’s a signed jersey, the game-winning ball or a limited edition album cover, showcasing your priceless memorabilia in a game room is a natural fit. These invaluable pieces will be both conversation starters and will also become the room’s design heroes. A unifying element, such as the same matting, will tie all these pieces together.
Fireplace
A stunning stone fireplace brings unparalleled ambiance to a game room. While a fireplace functionally keeps the room—often in a cool basement—warm, a fireplace is also a stately focal point for a room. Rustic stones bring warmth to the space, while a classic marble fireplace offers a traditional, classic look.
Wine Cellar and Tasting Room
Incorporating a wine room into a game room brings varying interests together. Selecting your favorite bottle of wine and being able to enjoy it while also taking part in leisurely pastimes is a decadent way to spend an evening.
Additionally, incorporating a tasting room into the game room will give you a space to savor your finds from the wine cellar. If games aren’t your preference, a tasting room gives you a spot to focus on unwinding while enjoying your game-loving companion’s company.
Whether billiards, cards, darts, wine tasting or simply enjoying the company of your guests is your preference, a game room is a place for everyone to appreciate.
