With the nice weather slowly making itself known, the thought of uplifting your home might be on the forefront of your mind. Whether you have an unused shed collecting dust or an extra room without much use, why not turn these spaces into games rooms? At Hamilton Billiards, we believe that a games room is a good addition to any home – it gives you the perfect place to entertain guests, encourages off-screen family time and can increase the value of your home. So, how to turn a room and/or garden shed into a games room?

Modern games room

Declutter and clean.

Before you position your brand-new pool table (or even think about the games you want to add!), it is essential to declutter and clean the space. By doing a big clear-out, you will have a better idea of how you can set the room and what type of games and game tables to buy.

Brainstorm and plan.

Now, that you’ve cleared the space, you can start brainstorming with the family what everyone would like to get out of the games room: the types of games, colour scheme, essentials… After all, if everyone is going to use the games room, they should have a say. Whilst you might want a full size snooker table in the middle of the games room, your youngest might want a little modern games corner to play on their console or computer.

Classy games room

Types of games.

  • Game tables.
  • Board games.
  • Card games.
  • Puzzle games.
  • Modern games.

We might be a bit biased but a snooker table or a pool table is a must-have in any games room. No matter if you have a small room or a large room, we stock 6ft pool tables and 7ft pool tables to 9ft pool tables. At Hamilton Billiards, we can craft custom made snooker tables and bespoke pool tables to suit your size and design requirements.

Colourful games room

Paint and decorate.

Once you’ve picked the right games, it is time to re-paint the room and decorate as you wish. You might want to go for a monochrome colour scheme or you might want to have a set theme for your games room – your choice. Don’t forget to properly light the room to ensure everyone can comfortably play in the room. We stock snooker table lights and pool table lights for all kinds of table sizes.

Finish touches.

Finish the room by adding the accessories necessary to play your favourite games, from snooker cues and pool cues to snooker balls and more. Perhaps a mini-fridge, some snacks and some comfortable seating will be a last good addition to keep you and your guests happy.
