A games room is more than just a place to unwind; it’s a room for entertainment, relaxation, and friendly competition. Whether you’re a serious pool player or just love hosting game nights, a Luxury Pool Table can be the centrepiece of your ultimate game room.
This blog is dedicated to highlighting the best games room setup with information on different luxury games tables, sizings and layout etc.
Choose the Right Luxury Pool Table for you
The pool table is the heart of your games room, so selecting the right one is crucial. Consider the following factors:
- Material & Craftsmanship: Our Luxury Pool Table ranges are all crafted from premium materials like solid oak and stainless steel, with top of the range slate playing surfaces, ensuring an exceptional build quality as well as gameplay.
- Style & Aesthetics: Whether you prefer a modern, classic, or rustic look, choose a table that complements your room’s decor.
- Size & Space Requirements: Ensure you have enough space for comfortable gameplay, accounting for cue movement and seating. English pool is normally playing on our 6ft or 7ft pool tables, American pool on an 8ft or 9ft, and then Snooker is playing on a 12ft table as standard.
Optimise Room Layout
A well-planned layout can really make a games room feel special as some games tables or items are larger than others. Hence, consider the below tips when designing your space.
- Spacing: For a pool table, we recommend having at least 1.2m to 1.5m all around the table to ensure you have adequate cueing space. Please check out our pool table size guide below with further help.
- Seating Areas: Include stylish bar stools, loungers, or a sectional sofa to create a social atmosphere.
- Lighting: Install a dedicated pool table light fixture or pendant lighting to provide optimal visibility without shadows or glare.
Best Games Tables to Combine
Choosing the perfect game tables for your game room is one of the most exciting parts of the design process. However, achieving the right balance is key to creating a cohesive and enjoyable space. Below, we’ve curated a list of game tables that complement each other beautifully for the ultimate entertainment experience.
- Pool Table & Table Tennis Table: A popular combination that brings together two of the most played games tables, plus we can now offer matching table tennis tables to our pool table ranges!
It’s also a great space-saving duo, as our pool tables can come with a table tennis top which allows you to enjoy two games in one area without needing additional space. - Pool Table & Football Table: A perfect blend of strategy and fast-paced action. Our pool table offers a classic, skill-based game, while the foosball table adds a high-energy, interactive element to the room.
- Table Tennis Table & Football Table: Both games are highly engaging and great for social gatherings. Since football tables are compact, they fit well alongside a table tennis table for maximum space efficiency.
- Pool Table & Shuffleboard: A sophisticated pairing that works beautifully in traditional or modern game rooms. Shuffleboard tables are long and sleek, making them an excellent complement to a pool table without taking up too much space.
- Pool Table & Arcade Machine: A fantastic mix of nostalgia and timeless gameplay. The pool table serves as the centrepiece for social gaming, while an arcade machine brings a retro, fun-loving vibe to the space. A perfect pair for a smaller room as we can offer a countertop arcade machine as well.
- Pool Table & Dart Board Cabinet: A stylish and space-efficient pairing that brings together two classic pub games. Our bespoke dartboard cabinets can be mounted on the wall, saving floor space while providing an additional entertainment option that complements pool brilliantly.
- Pool Table & Air Hockey Machine: Ideal for balancing classic and modern game styles. While the pool table provides a relaxed, strategic game, air hockey delivers high-speed excitement, making the game room appealing to all types of players.
- Pool Table & Backgammon Table: For those who love a mix of strategic games, this pairing offers the best of both worlds. While pool is an active, skill-based game, backgammon provides a more relaxed, intellectual challenge, perfect for winding down between matches.
