As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, it’s the perfect time to transform a section of your home into the ultimate indoor entertainment space. Whether you’re planning out a complete game room or carving out a cozy corner for hobbies, creating a welcoming spot for fun and relaxation will make those dark, cold days a little brighter.

• Maximize the space you have: Whether you’re able to dedicate an entire room to gaming or just a small corner, making the most of your available space is key. If you have a large room, set up a comfortable seating area and add board games, a pool table or even a home theatre set up. For smaller spaces, work on creating a multifunctional design – think foldable game tables or wall-mounted storage for board games and gaming accessories. Use vertical storage to keep the area tidy while making the most of the space you do have.

   

• Improve your colour game: Depending on the mood you want to create – for example, a cozy hobby and gaming space or a bold, dynamic sporting area – a fresh coat of paint will always help. If you want to create a warm, inviting space, try colours like red Moonrose (1103) or rich greens like Hemlock (CA180) or Western Juniper (CA186). If you want fun to take centre stage, try neutrals like Metro (0530, ColourIs Collection), Place of Dust (0359, ColourIs Collection) or Dove’s Wing (0537, ColourIs Collection) on your primary walls. Or, if you want a look that’s a bit more playful, try a bright accent wall like Party Time (1109, ColourIs Collection), Egg Blue (0671, ColourIs Collection) or Green Glass (0751, ColourIs Collection).

   

• Add personal touches: Your game room should reflect your personality and interests. Decorate with posters, wall art or collectibles from your favourite games, sports or hobbies. Cozy up the space with soft lighting, plush rugs and comfy seating. Consider adding fun accessories like a popcorn machine or a mini fridge to keep refreshments close by!
