A guide to creating the ultimate games room

Turning a spare room into the ultimate games room is a fantastic way to add fun and value to your home. By creating your own games and/or recreation room, you give yourself the freedom to fill it with activities that you and your family can enjoy together. Depending on the amount of space you have, this could include large games such as billiards, table tennis and shuffleboard. If you have limited space, there are still plenty of activities to enjoy such as foosball and mini kids’ game tables. 

Combining all your favourite games in one space will help you take your at-home enjoyment with your family and friends to the next level. 

What to put in your games room 

Billiards table 

Pool, also known as billiards, is one of the most popular table games to play at home. Adding a pool table to your games room will help create a sense of culture and class in your space. Pool is a highly respected game of skill, and a modern pool table offers a competitive challenge for everyone to enjoy. 

The amount of room available in your space will determine which size billiards table best suits your needs. You may need the flexibility of being able to pack up your billiards table when you’re not using it, making the Winner 3 IN 1 Dining Pool Table a great choice. Alternatively, you may  want your billiards table to be the focal point of your room. In this case, the grand Omaha Slate  Pool Table – 8FT American Style is your best option. 

Table tennis 

Incorporating a table tennis table, such as the 19mm Elite Series Table Tennis Table, into your space is a great way to get you and your family active, while also having fun. Table tennis is a widely loved sport, with the indoor table tennis table being a fan favourite in many home games rooms worldwide. 

Shuffleboard 

Shuffleboard can be played outside on the lawn or inside on a shuffleboard table. Australia is a great place to play shuffleboard outside because of the ample backyard space. For those who want to take their game to the next level, buying one of the most affordable, quality shuffleboard tables on the market is the way to go. 

Shuffleboard tables such as the 9ft Ellensbrook Shuffleboard Table and 12ft Ellensbrook Shuffleboard Table, are worthy games room investments, as they come in a variety of different sizes, and are made with differing levels of quality in order to suit all budgets. 

Air hockey 

Immerse yourself in fast-paced excitement for the whole family with your very own air hockey table. Fortunately for people looking to build their own games room, air hockey tables are compact and can sometimes come as a 4-in-1 table. Tennis/air hockey/pool/foosball tables can all be combined to ensure you get the most out of your space and can enjoy as many games as possible. 

Card table 

Playing cards is the perfect activity for when you want to take some time for more thought-driven activities. Whether you’re looking to host a poker tournament, or spend time with the kids playing Uno, you’ll need a sturdy table in order to do so comfortably. Opting for a versatile table

such as the Bosco 8FT Dining/Pool Table is a great way to ensure you have the room to play cards without compromising on space for other important games. When you do not use it, this  Bosco dining pool table can be folded for easy storage. 

Soccer table 

The soccer table, also known as the foosball table, is loved by big kids and little kids alike. Much like air hockey, incorporating a soccer table game such as the 4FT 4 IN 1 Foldable Multi Game Table into your space will create a sense of fun and excitement, just like you’d feel when playing the real thing. 

Kids’ game table 

Creating a dedicated area for your kids to play will help foster their love of indoor games. The kids' section of your games room is something that you can enjoy together, while getting them ready for friendly competition on the bigger tables when they’re older. The 27” Kids Pool Table is the perfect addition to a games room that may have a future talented billiards player within the four walls.
