Establishing a dedicated space for a game room is only the beginning - now it's time for decorating. Game room design can include a wide variety of style elements, depending on your personal preferences and the types of games you play. If you play primarily video games, your setup will probably be different than if you exclusively play billiards.
No matter what games you love, you can use these fun tips to level up your game room:
Use game equipment as decor
If you have extra game equipment you don't use, why not turn it into wall art for your game room? Frame or mount board games in a gallery wall, or display vintage pool cues like priceless heirlooms.
Utilize built-in shelving
Create functionality and store games and DVDs by adding stylish floating shelves. Installing permanent shelving in your game room will get items off the floor and front-of-mind.
Store game consoles creatively
If you have multiple video game consoles, it can be fun to display them in creative ways. Try dedicating matching end tables for each console to add a bit of modern style to your gaming room.
Mount consoles on the wall
A favorite among video game room ideas is to mount your game consoles on the wall. You can use a variety of different methods and materials to store them vertically - while still keeping them accessible for use.
Get multipurpose furniture
Select versatile items such as a pool table that converts for dining, or ottomans with built-in storage space. Multipurpose furniture helps you stay flexible while also saving room for fun.
Have fun with colors
Use bright color palettes or striking colors to create an energy within. Or, paint your favorite game characters and imagery for a DIY accent wall.
Invest in unique gaming chairs
Why settle for boring gaming chairs when you could have all the bells and whistles? Check out chairs with built-in cup holders, USB charging ports and other awesome amenities to really take your space to the next level.
These are only a few ways to decorate your game room, but an excellent way to start. The biggest secret to a perfect gaming space is finding a balance between functionality and fun. Get creative, but also get comfortable - it's game time!

“Real estate” means so much more to me than simply buying or selling property...I believe it’s all about the people behind those transactions. A house would never be a home without them. That is why my first question to you will always be “what are your goals and how can I help you get there?”
Helping someone to plan and achieve their goals is just as important as listening to what they are. I know first-hand from over a decade of experience just how much it can take to make it happen. With honesty, diligence, and resilience, however, no hurdle is unconquerable. I can guide you through the entire process, always making you feel comfortable, informed, and in control. Like I said before, you are always the first priority.
I chose to partner with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Real Time Realty because, just like me, they realize that real estate agents are much more than salespeople. Every person and every goal is just as important as the last - and Berkshire Hathaway has all the tools and resources to get the job done.
It’s been an absolute privilege to meet some of you and help you achieve your goals. I can’t wait to meet the rest. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or both, I am confident that I am the last agent you’ll need. A better future awaits...give me a call and let’s get started!
