After a long, hard day of work, many people seek relaxation and amusement as a means to recharge their enthusiasm for their work routine the next day.
While some homeowners have opted to transform their television viewing into a home theater experience, others choose to reconnect with friends and family by designating specific living space as an entertainment area.
On a broad scale, entertainment rooms vary in characteristics, yet provide a stimulating utopia for all to enjoy.
Here are five tips to create the perfect game room.
Sports ticker
As a sports lover, I firmly believe that no game room is complete without a sports ticker.
Sports tickers are small, rectangular monitors that display up-to-date sports scores, trades and news with the help of WiFi technology.
Stock market tickers use the same technology as sports tickers, and you can easily switch from market updates to sports updates with a push of a remote control button.
The LED display features on some sports tickers include:
- Tri-color LED display
- 16 color combinations
- Low energy consumption
- 30 graphic symbols (car, basketball, airplane)
- 8 (pre-loaded) holiday greetings (such as Merry Christmas)
- Text memory of 7,000 characters
- Password protection
- 8 message moving speeds
- 8 pause periods (2 to 60 seconds)
Adding a sports ticker to your game room can almost ensure that you get your sports news first, even before your sport-loving friends.
Posters
Posters are the most frugal way to upgrade your game room experience.
Whether you prefer retro, black-and-white movie portraits or colorful videogame prints, adding posters to your game room will certainly add a level authenticity.
Movie posters also add a feeling of nostalgia to your game room by taking you back to the time and place you initially viewed a specific film.
There are tons of posters to choose from, so you can rest assured that the posters you pick will highlight your personality while creating a unique game space for your family and friends to enjoy.
If you?re looking for an alternative to posters, consider purchasing a Fathead. The cool wall graphics are available in numerous sports themes and can also be customized!
Board Games
While the technology advances of the 21st century have provided videogame enthusiasts with a plethora of high definition graphics to indulge in, there is simply no replacement for old-fashioned board games.
Board games such as Scrabble are not only family friendly, they?re also cognitive exercises that promote learning.
Whether you prefer Connect Four or Monopoly, adding board games to your game room can provide an alternative to addictive, and violent, videogames such as Call of Duty.
Retro Arcade machines
The only thing better than playing old videogames like Galaga or Millipede is playing those games on a retro arcade machine!
Many current homeowners grew up playing several of the retro arcade games that are now sold as box units. Adding a retro arcade machine to you game room is the ultimate stamp of authenticity.
Game table
In my opinion, adding a game table to your game room should be your first priority.
Whether you love to play pool, Ping Pong, or foosball, adding a game table to your game room can serve as the feature attraction for your friends and family.
Game tables are an important element of the game room as they provide a focal point to entertain your guests.
While game tables may be the most costly addition to your game room, it?s highly likely that they will also be the most used equipment in the area.
A game room can promote family bonding in your home, while also offering a unique and fun gathering place for your friends and houseguests.? If you?re thinking about adding a room, or transforming a current space in your home into a game room, consider using some of the tips listed above.? You never know, your game room could end up being the new hot spot for you and your friends for years to come.
