Layout tips for a functional and designer approved game room.

A well-planned game room layout should promote ease of movement, comfortable seating, and adequate storage, while also accommodating the specific gaming and entertainment activities you enjoy.

When designing a game room, it's essential to create a versatile and inviting space that caters specifically to the type of game or games you want to play.

Game Table: A must-have for any game room, designed specifically for your game of choice. These tables often feature built-in storage or special surfaces to enhance the gaming experience. Game tables come in all shapes and sizes: from card tables to pool, ping pong, and air hockey tables.
Sofa or Sectionals: Comfortable seating is key in a game room for relaxing and socializing. A plush sofa or sectional can provide a cozy spot for guests to sit back and enjoy video games or watch movies.
Accent Chairs: These can add extra seating and a pop of color or style to the room. Accent chairs are especially useful for creating flexible seating arrangements that can be adjusted based on the activity or the number of guests. For ultimate relaxation, a chaise lounge or a couple of recliners can be a great addition, offering a comfortable spot for extended gaming sessions or movie marathons.
Bar Stools and Counter Stools: If your game room features a bar or a high table, stools are essential. They offer a casual seating option and encourage interaction among guests.
Coffee Table and Side Tables: Useful for holding snacks, drinks, game controllers, or board games, these tables combine functionality with style, anchoring the seating area and providing convenient surfaces.
Storage Units: To keep games, accessories, and equipment organized, consider incorporating various storage solutions like shelving units, cabinets, or credenzas. These can also serve as display areas for collectibles or décor.
Entertainment Center or TV Stand: For game rooms that include a video gaming setup or a home theater system, an entertainment center or TV stand is crucial for housing your electronics and media in an organized manner.
Area Rug: Besides adding warmth and texture to the room, an area rug can also help define different zones within an open space, such as a separate area for board games or a lounge area.

By incorporating these furniture pieces into your game room's floorplan, you can create a dynamic and enjoyable space that caters to various entertainment needs and preferences. If you need an extra hand in your design process, check out our step-by-step guide on How To Design a Room.

What is the best way to design a game room layout?

Navigating the maze of spatial planning isn't just a step in your design journey—it's the secret sauce to making your space sing. Sure, it's not the glitzy, glam decorating part where colors and textures take the stage, but think of it as the unsung hero. Diving deep into planning means you're setting yourself up for a smooth ride, dodging those pesky"I wish I'd thought of that" moments. The more planning you do upfront will save you a lot of time (and money!) in the long run. Plus, having accurate measurements are key to successful furniture (read: treasure) hunting. Having your space measured to a T is like having a map where X marks the spot of your next great find.

Don't shy away from playing musical chairs with your layout. It may take a few iterations to achieve the perfect floor plan. Don't be afraid to try out different furniture arrangements. Mix, match, and move things around until it feels just right, reflecting your unique style and meeting your functional needs.

Here are some best practices to guide you in the process of designing a game room layout:

Start with functionality and purpose: Begin by outlining the primary needs in your space and desired function of the room. Sketch out a plan that breaks down the game room's different zones and their intended uses. Got a crowd to please? Make sure your layout can accommodate everyone’s needs. If you have existing furniture pieces you’d be upset to get rid of, make sure you account for these as well (their purpose is sentimental!) and plan around them to give them the spotlight they deserve.
Identify the focal point: Next, find your room's showstopper. The focal point could be a cozy fireplace, a window framing the perfect view, or an art piece that's all kinds of wow. Arrange the rest of the furniture around this focal point to create a harmonious game room flow.
Consider traffic flow: Keep in mind the natural flow of movement within the room. Ensure that there is enough space for everyone to move around comfortably without any obstructions. Leave clear pathways between furniture groupings to allow for easy navigation — 18 inches minimum between furniture pieces, 30 inches minimum for walkways.
Scale and proportion: Pay attention to the scale and proportion of the furniture pieces in relation to the size of your game room. Avoid overcrowding your space with oversized furniture or leaving it feeling empty with undersized pieces. Achieve a sense of balance and symmetry in the room by distributing furniture and decor elements evenly. This can be done by placing matching or similar items on opposite sides of the room.

By carefully considering the function, layout, and elements of your space, you can create a well-designed and functional game room.

What is a floor plan and where do I start?

A floor plan is essentially a diagram offering a bird's-eye-view perspective of your space. Like peeking into your game room from above, floor plans help bridge the gap between imagination and reality so you can visualize how your space will function.

Floor plans can vary significantly in detail and style. Some may resemble blueprints, focusing strictly on delineating walls, doors, and other structural elements, while others might include detailed layouts complete with furniture and decor placements. This versatility makes floor plans an indispensable tool in architecture, real estate, and interior design, facilitating a clear understanding of a space's structure and potential functionality.

Accurate room dimensions are key when creating a floor plan. If you don’t have an existing floor plan or blueprint with dimensions (from your building inspector or landlord), you’ll need to create one. A trusty measuring tape is an indispensable tool for accurately measuring the dimensions of your game room. It will help you determine the length and width of walls, windows, doors, and other architectural features. There are plenty of digital measuring tape tools out there. And while you know we love our digital tools ;), nothing beats the good ‘ol analog measuring tape when it comes to getting accurate measurements of your space. The last thing you want is a too-small area rug or an assembled sofa bed that can’t fit through your front door. Trust us.

Even if you do have an existing floor plan or blueprint, it’s always a good idea to confirm the measurements (you know what they say, measure twice!). Measure every nook and cranny. Note fixtures and architectural elements like outlets, plumbing hookups, and window and door openings so you have them handy when you create your layout. Every inch (or centimeter) counts.

Once you have your measurements, the planning phase begins. Pop those measurements into Spoak’s floor plan tool and start arranging and rearranging to your heart’s desire!
