Whether your passion is baseball, darts or shooting pool consider creating a game room. - A common mistake is trying to fit too much into a small space, so plan your room (figure A) according to its use.
- Ping-pong is a popular choice but it requires nine feet for the table plus room on all sides.
- Billiards is another fun option; just allow enough room for taking a clear shot.
- If space is at a premium, consider games such as foosball, bumper pool or multi-game tables (figure B) that convert easily for a variety of games.
- A dartboard is always a good choice, but locate it in an area away from foot traffic.
- Adding handmade items that promote your favorite teams and sports (figure C) helps make the room uniquely your own.
- Dont forget to save some space for hanging out for the big game.
Web Extras - You should allow a minimum of six feet of space on the ends of a ping-pong table and at least four feet of space on the sides.
- If there are children in the home, consider installing an electronic dartboard that doesnt have sharp tipped darts that can cause injury.
