Very few people have the
luxury of planning a game room when they purchase their home. But finally there comes a time when they
realize they have an extra room that is not be used for much more than storing
junk. Why not make it a game room? It can actually be a fun project for everyone
in the house. Let everyone come up with
ideas on what theme should be used. What
should be put on the walls? Probably
some wooden signs, sports memorabilia, maybe some mirrors. Anything you can think of to make it your
own.
You must give some thought
to what you want to be able to do in the room.
A pool table is always a great idea but make sure you have enough
room. Most small bedrooms will not be
large enough. But you can always find
room for a card table, a dartboard and of course a really big television. It takes a lot of thought to cover the walls
in a game room but that can be fun.
Start with a few nice wooden signs that are unique to you family. Maybe it depicts your favorite sports team
and personalize it with your name. Not
only do you need a personalized sign displaying the name of your new game room
but you can find wooden signs that are clever and maybe spell on some of the
rules of the room. Common ones are, tip
the barkeep, no foul language unless Boston is winning, and the bartender is
always right. These are just some of the
rules but feel free to create you own.
Take a ride to your
favorite flea market and you will find some great bargains. You will find all sorts of things to decorate
the walls of you new game room. Wooden signs that have cute saying and proverbs, old business signs and old street
signs make for excellent ideas. They
will all brighten up the room and make it even nicer than your favorite sports
bar. Beyond the normal ones you will
fine at the flea markets, get yourself a personalized sign with the name of the
game room engraved or painted on it.
They always add that personal touch.
You might have to special order it but it is worth a few dollars
compared to what it will add to the overall décor of you new room.
