You're Never Too Old to Play: Games Rooms For Big Kids

Who needs Las Vegas? A welcoming blend of white-on-beige with luxuriously rich woods and leathers, this games room is all about getting together with friends. Accessories are minimal: an over-sized pair of dice on the coffee table, two antique collectibles above the fireplace, and a trio of abstract prints. The focal point -- both visually and in spirit -- remains good times with the gang.

Ready to tee-off? You're about to enter a world of perfectly manicured greens right in your own home. These computer-generated golf courses never need watering or trimming, can be played 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and take up virtually no room. A "Gateway" of carved timbers pays homage to the great outdoors while enhancing a sense of escaping the city's hustle and bustle for an afternoon on the links.

There's just a hint of the desert breezes in this open, airy games room. Rattan furnishings, wooden slatted closet doors, and a potted palm create a casual, outdoor ambiance as though this space was merely an extension of the surrounding countryside. The barn-style ceiling in dark stained timbers recalls the proud heritage of southwestern ranching and hospitality.
