Not so many years ago, most people’s idea of a games room was a table with a pack of cards, and some tired board games and jigsaws – always with a few cards and puzzle pieces missing. Not anymore! These days, games rooms often have large items such as table football, pool or snooker tables, and all kinds of technology connected to Wi-Fi and Smart TVs. Virtual reality consoles, arcade machines and full-floor games are all favourites among kids and groups of grown-ups alike. Gone are the days when games rooms were only found in dark, damp basements. Today’s games rooms tend to be well integrated with the rest of the property, and many of them are beautiful spaces in their own right.
