Melshire New Garage and Gameroom

Alair Homes Plano

These homeowners really wanted a full garage space where they could house their cars. Their one car garage was overflowing as a storage space and they felt this space could be better used by their growing children as a game room. We converted the garage space into a game room that opens both to the patio and to the driveway. We built a brand new garage with plenty of room for their 2 cars and storage for all their sporting gear! The homeowners chose to install a large timber bar on the wall outside that is perfect for entertaining! The design and exterior has these homeowners feeling like the new garage had been a part of their 1958 home all along! Design by Hatfield Builders & Remodelers | Photography by Versatile Imaging

Game Room Ideas

For some, there’s no better way to bond than over a little healthy competition, and a home game room can provide hours of fun. Whether you want to create a comfy space for family game nights or the perfect video game hangout, it helps to glean a bit of inspiration beforehand. For hardcore gamers and billiards lovers alike, consider the following design tips while you browse our photo gallery below.

1. Keep It Simple with Board Games Galore

If you’re in need of some budget-friendly ideas, don’t overthink it! Stock up on classic board games and perhaps hang a dartboard on the wall. As long as you’ve got a large coffee table and some good shelves to keep things tidy, you’ll be all set for Friday game night.

2. Channel Retro Style with Posters

Decorating a game room can be tricky — you want it to feel fun and relaxed but still just as stylish as the rest of your home. To toe the line, go retro with framed vintage posters of movies, cities or sports teams. The effect: playful yet sophisticated.

3. Repurpose Game Boards as Decor

In a small room, pick just one game that can double as decor. A chess board can add a sophisticated touch to your coffee table. Or, keep a tabletop foosball board on display. That way, your living room can easily become the de facto game-playing spot.

4. Go Classic with a Pool Table

If you’re working with a basement, why not add a pool table? With a centerpiece like that, your space is sure to become a go-to hangout. To keep the space looking fresh, add a modern pendant light or chandelier above.

5. Invite People to Stay a While

Having comfortable and supportive game room furniture is key to keeping everyone happy. If you’re playing video games, invest in some quality gaming chairs or classic bean bags. Otherwise, go for a plush, sectional couch.

6. Keep the Drinks Coming

Step things up a notch with a home bar. This can be as simple as a wine and beer fridge next to a glassware cabinet, or you can go all out with taps to pour beer or wine from. You’re about to become awfully popular!

7. Toss in Some Ottomans

On the other hand, if you’ll be playing with the whole family, focus on making everyone feel comfortable and included. Ottomans and floor pillows are perfect for kids to sit on while playing a board game, and can double as comfy backrests for movie nights and slumber parties.
