Pick a Theme that Reflects Your Interests
The first step in designing a themed gaming room is to think long and hard about the design concept. What theme best reflects you, your hobbies and interests? For those with a love of gambling and the thrills and action of the casino, this could be a perfect theme. You can look to your favourite online and offline casinos for inspiration when it comes to the colour palette and décor. The more it speaks to your interests, the more you’ll end up loving the final result.
Thoughtful Furniture Placement
Every room in your house requires thoughtful furniture placement but, in terms of a games room, it isn’t so much about the flow or how the furniture looks layout-wise, rather it is about how the room and furniture function when gaming. The furniture you choose will be influenced by the type of gaming you plan on doing. If you want to have a monthly poker night with buddies or regular board games, then you’re going to need a large table with chairs that offer plenty of room. Then again, if your idea of a games room is a video game room, then the emphasis will be on a gaming sofa or luxe gaming chair.
Collectibles and Memorabilia Can Be Perfect Additions
To bring the theme together and make the room more unique, you can add collectibles and memorabilia to the design concept. Maybe you already have a collection started, so this finally gives you a chance to display it in the way you have always imagined.
Don’t Forget Drinks and Snacks
What goes great with your favourite games? Snacks and drinks of course. A games room is the perfect place in your house to build a bar. Even if it’s a streamlined version of a bar, you can still pack a punch and get all the essentials in place. A few key elements to include in your bar are:
A small fridge A bar with stools if the space allows Storage for glasses Storage for snacks such as crisps and popcorn
You can get as elaborate as you want with the bar – it just depends on the space you have available and your budget. With a little planning and work, you’ll be able to design a themed gaming room that ends up being your favourite spot in the house.
