Depending on the size of the room you wish to convert into a game room, and the games you and your family will like to play, you will require; paint, posters, games and accessories, corner refreshment tables and stools, bean bags, and other items. Include your family in the discussions while planning the design of the room. It would be nice if there were decorative elements in the room to please everyone who uses it.
Pick a color of paint that is either neutral for a contemporary look, or bold and vibrant for a fun and funky look. A color scheme of red, black and white would be nice for a game room, since these colors are often incorporated in game boards, pool tables, et cetera.
Paint the windows and doors in a complementary color. If you are going with the red, black and white color scheme, paint the windows and doors in white, and use red or white velvet or silk curtains with valances to make the room stylishly attractive. Decorate the walls of the game room with poster collages of your family’s favorite sports, and with old board games. Use dominoes and decorative dice to accentuate the game room theme.
You can also hang dice and pool ball hangings from the ceiling to decorate a game room. Let your creative juices flow and paint some nice sporty murals on your walls. Make sure the room is well lighted. In addition to wall sconces, a few decorative lamps with lampshades in a color that complements the selected color scheme would be a good idea. Painted or varnished wooden flooring would be suitable for a game room. Alternatively, you could lay down wall to wall carpeting that matches with the rest of the décor.
The next step in decorating a game room is setting up board games, a pool table, a foosball table, electronic gaming systems, and a large wall television unit. If you are going to incorporate a pool table in your game room, it is wise to decorate around it, while leaving adequate space for the players’ movement. Furthermore, since pool tables are really large they become the focal point in a game room, so try to find a pool table that matches with your color scheme.
Alternatively, you can have it custom made to match your preferences. Increase the comfort levels of your gaming room by adding a few bean bags, and small corner tables with a stool or two. If you have a lot of space you can incorporate more decorative items and furniture into your game room like refrigerators, mini bars, couches, et cetera.
If you wish to decorate a game room on a budget, you can try purchasing items at thrift stores, bargain stores, garage sales, flea markets and online stores. Alternatively, you can simply modify your old furniture and pool table to match with the decorative theme. A few coats of paint or varnish can make anything look as good as new.
If you are purchasing a new pool table and furniture, it is best to purchase them before decorating the rest of the room, so that you know what colors to use for decorating the walls, et cetera.
Avoid cluttering the room with too many items and furniture to allow for comfortable and accident free gameplay. If your game room is in the basement, make sure you have proper ventilation and lighting facilities.
