But
where do you start?
Well,
the ideal games room has to be something of a compromise between
what’s desirable and what’s possible with your man cave design. If you live alone, this is
probably going to be a bit easier, as it all depends on how
understanding your partner / family / home sharers are. Another
practical consideration is, of course, greenbacks. So decide on how
much you’re willing to spend on the games room and don’t exceed
your budget. Working to a budget is all part of the planning process
and adds to the fun of creating your dream room.
Next,
you’re going to need inspiration. You probably have a good
preconceived idea of how your ideal games den is going to look, so
hone this down a little by looking at pictures online, on Pinterest
for example, or checking out the furniture stores or flea markets for
inspiration.
If
you’re a casino aficionado, have a look at some of the best casino interiors in Vegas. You may not be able to match the level of
plushness, but the inspiration should certainly be there.
It’s
quick and easy to start the balls rolling (almost literally) in your
mini casino to see how things work. Find the best no deposit casino you can then start playing games of your choice for free to get the hang of things. If a casino atmosphere is your
thing, it’s also easy to recreate the sound effects of the real
thing. Many of the best sites out there have live dealers and most
have great graphics and sound effects, so keep note of that.
Of
course, you may decide to go down the traditional route of an actual
roulette table, for example, or a poker table etc. There’s a huge
market around the world for used gaming tables for everything from
the casino to table football.
As
for the room itself; decide where you’re going to position the
three most important items in the cave; the computer (if you want a
desktop), the ultra large flat-screen and the chair(s) or sofa(s).
Most men in the perfect gaming man cave are going to spend a lot of
time sitting down with various devices in their hands, whether it’s
simply a tablet or gaming console – or the cell-phone.
But
there are practical considerations here too. For many of us, beer
positioning will be an all-important consideration along with cooling
mechanisms for the same; a mini fridge, for example, will only set
you back around $100 and will negate the need for those tiresome
long treks to the kitchen!
Creating
the perfect gaming room can only be done by you. You know what’s
going to fit with your personality – however crazy it may seem to
others. But here’s one final thought; if you can’t fit one inside
your own home – how about creating the same vibe outdoors in a
man-cave gaming shed? All you need is the right inspiration.
