Get to know your inner child and design a game room with your kids! There are plenty of options you can stock here such as board games, a ping-pong or billiard table, a foosball set, different video game consoles, or even vintage pinball machines! For really large rooms, a mini-bar is the perfect complement.
Home Entertainment
Are you a film buff? Watch your favorite films over and over again right in the comforts of your home entertainment room! Common design options include remodeling it lounge-style with sofa sets or like the cinemas and have special theater seats installed. Of course, the most modern home entertainment rooms sport flat screen TVs, surround sound speakers, LCD projectors, DVD and Blu-ray players, and other media devices.
Home Spa
Rest and relaxation have never been this convenient with a home spa! An extra room or bathroom can be transformed into a peaceful and soothing space through votive candles, a big master bath and sauna, soft white towels, indoor plants, and aromatherapy oils.
