There’s no better way to entertain than with games. Billiards. Foosball. Ping Pong. Backgammon. Black Jack. Scrabble. No matter what age, or how many guests are coming over, games are the perfect pastime. And with this renewed interest in games, game rooms are making their way back into households across the nation.
Whether you want to convert an underutilized room into a dedicated play space or update your family room with a specialty game table to accommodate an impromptu night of fun, we’ve scoured the web and pulled together some of our favorite game room decor. From interior designers who’ve channeled their clients' inner child to furniture and industrial designers who’ve created eye-catching game tables that double as art pieces, we hope you are inspired to get your game on.
If you want a smart-looking gaming table, check out RS Barcelona. This Spain-based company offers football / foosball, ping pong, and pool tables, as well as outdoor game tables.
Another European furniture company that makes high-end game tables is Vismara Design Italy. In addition to luxury pool tables, they design poker tables and roulette tables, and many other game room accessories for private home entertainment.
And if you’re looking for something stateside that is basic yet stylish, Perigold, FAO Schwartz and Pottery Barn have a nice selection of ping pong tables. For luxury game tables that run the gamut from pool to table tennis, air hockey to shuffleboard, 11 Ravens has a sleek selection.
For those who are building a furniture collection or have a penchant for furniture as art, many collectible sites, such as 1st Dibs and Incollect, offer a wide variety of designer tables, including Harvey Probber, Arturo Pani, Impatia, and Raoul Guys. Many of these gaming tables are slightly lower than regular tables, creating a more relaxed, lounging posture — perfect for today’s contemporary lifestyle.
