A few years back, we turned a room into a pub style pool room. It was fun, not too difficult & came out great! We started with panelling the walls, just half way up (wainscoating???), but we didn't get expensive real panelling, we bought sheets of beadboard, cut them in half & stained/varnished them. They came out great! We put a simple strip of wood at the top & bottom to finish it.

Next, we did a faux finish paint job on the walls, kind of an ivory or parchment paper look. My hubby built a bar, so to speak, that is just a top & attached to the wall. Then we got some bar stools online (from Budweiser, they were cheap!)…but they do have some at Target too, that aren't expensive.

We put a refrigerator in one corner, and an electronic dart board (also from Target, I believe), against one wall. Bought a few framed mirror signs (again from Budweiser, since this is a Bud house…LOL).

This room is attached to the garage & had a window into the garage, so we filled that in with a shelving thing that hangs into the garage, but closed on this side….and we put the stereo in there with CDs, etc.

Of course, we already had the pool table, so that sits in the center of the pool hall style pub. It is our little get away. The prices are right & we don't have to drive anywhere!

Good luck on your room! Check out some websites. Use searches like game room or bar stool, etc. You'll get lot of ideas. Then check out the stores & garden stores too (we were at Home Depot the other day & they have a bunch of Tiki room kind of stuff that could make a great little game room atmorsphere!)
