Evaluate

Look at the layout of your home and identify underused areas. Factor in your current lifestyle to determine the part of your home best suited for renovation.

Size Matters

Make sure the space for your game room allows space for your pool table and the players, cue sticks, furniture and other accessories that surround it.

Ask For Help

Seek professional guidance before, during and after the renovation project. Trade organizations such as NARI (www.nari.org) and ASID (www.asid.org) provide a wealth of information on their Web sites and can direct you to a professional contractor or decorator near you.

Do Your Homework

The BCA (www.bca-pool.com) is information central for “all things pool and billiard” including the history, rules and statistics of this venerable sport. They can also direct you to a local billiard retailer.

Accessorize

Be creative when it comes to decorating your game room. Whether the decor is futuristic, funky or nostalgic, a game room is the perfect place to showcase your personal tastes with billiard-themed furniture, art and accessories.
