How you’ll use your entertainment room and who will be the primary denizens, will play a big role in how you decorate.
Kids Rule
If you’re remodeling an entertainment room for your kids you’ll be amazed at all the fun things you can do to make the room inviting and stimulating. Bright colors such as reds, yellows and blues are available in furniture, area rugs, and art. A great idea for seating is director’s chairs – available in every color under the sun, and you can stencil creative names on the back of the chairs. Add foosball, an air hockey table, ping pong, a dart board, indoor basketball, chess table, a place to do puzzles, a giant flat screen T.V., or a colorful jukebox and you’ve got a recipe for fun.
Adults rule
Equally fun to decorate is the entertainment room for adults. Whatever your idea of fun is, from Texas Hold ‘Em to pool, the main idea is to relax and get away from it all without ever leaving your home. If a pool table is on your list just make sure you have enough clearance for the cue sticks. And, of course, with the pool table comes pool table lights. Another great idea is a “casino nights” theme with poker tables and roulette. You can create the ultimate game room with a shuffle board, professional level dart board, pinball, large screen TV, and of course a bar.
Extreme entertainment – specialty rooms are hot
How about a golf simulator – your own personal indoor resort; improve your skills, play or practice golf when you want. Got a spare 90 feet? Put in a bowling alley! If you have the space a bowling alley will become a gathering place for your family and friends for years to come. Heck, you can even charge admission. $88,000 gets you two regulation wood lanes, pins, pin setting equipment, and computer scoring. Shooting ranges and a place to store your hunting gear? Climbing walls? These days more and more people are putting their money into a total entertainment package; wanting to relax at the end of a hard day without the feeling of having to get away.
The Gentleman’s Club
Add some old wood finishes, a classic pool table, an antique bar, deep rich hardwood floors, a full sound system, a chess table, and a separate cigar room and you’ve got total relaxation.
Get organized with built-ins
Don’t forget the storage space to store all those games. Carefully designed bookcases, cubbies, closets, and cabinets to contain all the clutter will not only make your room cleaner it will make your room appear larger too. You can utilize dead space for swing out shelves; storage closets can fit under staircases, bookshelves can fit under dormers. Here’s a great idea, a built-in bookcase with a secret lever that, when unlocked, opens into a closet for your expensive stereo equipment.
