The kids have moved away, and now you suddenly find yourself with an extra room in the house. Unless youre in dire need of a home office, why not make that extra room into a game room? After all, youve worked hard enough, now its time to play, and the game room can be a room full of excitement and fun.
There was a time when you could only afford the luxury of a game room if you had a basement, and that usually meant a couch and a billiard table. However, in this age of technology the game room most likely will have a big screen TV and a game console with lots of video games. Few will still have a billiard table. One reason is because most rooms are not as big as a basement and a billiard table would take most of the space available.
Since this should be a family room, or a room for you and your friends to get together for fun, why not add a game table you can use to play board games, and perhaps a soccer table, or an air hockey game table. These wont take up as much room as a pool table. If its in your budget, a jukebox can add to the fun and atmosphere!
