While not a traditional ‘game room’, not everyone has the space to create a specific “game” room. If this sounds like you, think multi purpose. 

The addition of bright, soft, and easy to move furniture turns this office/living room space into a place for the entire family to relax, unwind and have fun. 

8. Bring back the memories
