Game rooms are taking over! As more families look to spend quality time at home, a shared gaming space is becoming a desirable asset in new homes. When remodeling family homes, a designated game room is a hot trend. Aside from the fun factor, what makes game rooms so beneficial for you and your family? Let’s dig a little deeper and find out.
Save Money at Home
The first obvious benefit to having a game room at home is financial. When there’s an arcade of games always available at home, there’s no need to go spend a small fortune to play those same games elsewhere. Plus, there’s no endless line of strangers to share with; that air hockey table is all yours! Gaming at home saves money on snacks, too! The pricey snack bar at the arcade, bowling alley, or ice rink will be a distant memory when you can serve up homemade snacks. Instead of treating teens and their friends to a pricey night out, invite everyone over for foosball, video games, and pizza.
Fun with Family and Friends
As kids get older, it’s natural to want their own space to spend time with friends. That’s where the home game room comes in. Turn their old playroom into a game room that they’ll love showing off to their friends. When your home is the designated “hang out house” because of your game room, you know the kids are safe. If you love to entertain, especially with big family gatherings, a home game room is an absolute must-have. During the holidays, start a family pool tournament. Game night can be an all-ages affair with multigame tables or a home arcade. Puzzles, card games, and board game classics are game room staples.
Quality Time
Within your own household, make a new tradition with family game night. Learn new skills and try out new games together. Little ones can work on their hand and eye coordination while older kids gain confidence and good sportsmanship. Everybody, including the grownups, can benefit from the concentration and critical thinking skills that playing games teach.
If your crew loves tabletop games, be sure to add storage and round game tables for poker nights. For video gaming, be sure to add multiple screens and a comfy couch. Get your kids involved in the game room transformation, by choosing a theme together and selecting fun games. Use websites like Pinterest for décor inspiration. Try searching keywords like “retro arcade” or “home game room ideas.” Or, go classic with pub aesthetics with a dartboard, pool, and vintage décor.
