We do a lot of things in our homes, but the main activities generally fall under the four categories of sleep, eat, work, and play. We have bedrooms for sleeping, kitchens for eating, offices and bathrooms for working, but often times we don’t have rooms reserved specifically for play. Sure, the living room tends to serve that purpose just fine, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a space that’s every feature is intentionally designed to encourage relaxing, having fun, and enjoying the company of your friends and family? Many people have already figured out just how much an entertainment room can enrich and de-stress life, so maybe now is the time you take it into consideration for your own home.Here are a few things to think (and salivate) about when it comes to adding or remodeling your entertainment room:CreativityThe best part of building an entertainment room? It’s all about you. The space is meant to do exactly what you like to do and be exactly the way you want to be, so use your imagination and get creative. Have a secret love affair with air hockey? Buy an air hockey table. Always adored animal print wall paper but never had the moxie to use it in the rest of the house? Here’s your chance. There are no rules with entertainment rooms, so have fun with it. That’s the whole idea after all.Home TheaterOne of the most common functions of an entertainment room is the home theater. Having a perfectly wired space to watch your favorite movies after a long day is one of life’s most easily attainable pleasures. Deck your space out in surround sound and install a custom-made entertainment center and you’re good to go.Personal BarFor the adults in the home, having a designated place to relax and have a drink with friends after work or on the weekends can be so fun, you might never have to go out again. Hang out in the bar with guests while dinner cooks upstairs. Share a romantic glass of wine with your spouse while the kids watch a movie. The possibilities are endless, so entertain all of them!
