Embrace Chic Textures
Texture = elegance and combining different textures will make a game room look luxe.
Just be mindful to keep the design cohesive so that it looks intentional rather than like an afterthought.
Choose a statement set that doubles as decor when not in use.

Figuring out a space will give you a better idea of the size and scale needed for your design.
And if you have a room nailed down, it’s possible for you to structure your search accordingly.
Or a cozy nook for board games and cards?

Add cozy, patterned textiles to your game room to make it both cozy and fun.
Think: rugs, blankets, pillows, and comfortable upholstered furniture in fun colors and eye-catching patterns.
