Adding a game room to your home will definitely delight your kids — and maybe you too! Interior and kitchen renovation expert DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington explains four important considerations when designing a great game room.

Technology

Create a list of equipment and accessories you want to have in your game room. Typically, this includes a home theater, TV stands, speakers, cable organizers, cooling pads, wireless headsets and so on.

Storage

If you or your kids enjoy a variety of games, there’s probably a significant collection of video games in your home. You’ll need proper storage for these items. Whether you want them hidden from view or displayed for your guests to see, having a storage unit can keep the room from becoming messy.

Comfort

Most likely, you and/or your kids will be spending hours in the game room. That said, you should pick seating that is comfortable. You might want to consider placing a refrigerator in the room too, so food and water are easily accessible if hunger strikes in the middle of a game. If you have a bigger budget, build a mini kitchen or bar. Consult a kitchen remodeler if this is something you want to pursue.

Lighting

Game rooms are often located in basements and don’t get enough natural light. Since being in front of digital screens can be hard on the eyes, you need to ensure there is proper lighting inside your game room. Make sure ambient lighting is installed at the right locations too.
