Many people assume that the game room is an area of their house where fashion is hardly important. However, there is no fun in having a game room that features only a few movie posters or a framed jersey as decorations. In fact, the more thought you give to the decor in your game room or entertainment center, the more likely you'll be to actually have a good time in this area. If you can't get excited about a space's aesthetic, you can't expect the room's mood to be conducive to leisurely fun.
Shawn Gauthier, an interior designer and writer for Houzz.com, recently wrote a piece discussing ways to turn your game room into a more chic space by veering away from the childish and drawing inspiration from areas with a more formal function. For example, insert some colors into your room that you might find in a dining room or a more formal living area. A rich burgundy or wine-inspired tone in your main couch or another item of furniture will steer the room toward a much more captivating aesthetic. As well, look into window treatments that are more sophisticated than the simple shades you probably currently have hanging in your game room. A solid floor-length drape will anchor the room's look and establish a more formal atmosphere for you and your family to enjoy. Your shuffleboard table can enhance the space's look if you choose a model that is expertly detailed and beautifully stained. The Veneto collection, for example, has crisscrossing legs that give it a pleasing stance and a premium look.
