This sophisticated game room provides hours of play for a young and active family. The black, white and beige color scheme adds a masculine touch. Wood and iron accents are repeated throughout the room in the armchairs, pool table, pool table light fixture and in the custom built in bar counter. This pool table also accommodates a ping pong table top, as well, which is a great option when space doesn't permit a separate pool table and ping pong table. Since this game room loft area overlooks the home's foyer and formal living room, the modern color scheme unites the spaces and provides continuity of design. A custom white oak bar counter and iron barstools finish the space and create a comfortable hangout spot for watching a friendly game of pool.

The window treatment frame the beautiful views and the custom millwork adds interest and architectural details to what would have been an otherwise plain high ceiling family room. Andrew Pitzer

Photographer Derrick Godson Clients brief was to create a modern stylish games room using a predominantly grey colour scheme. I designed a bespoke feature wall for the games room. I created an abstract panelled wall in a contrasting grey colour to add interest and depth to the space. I then specified a pool table with grey felt to enhance the interior scheme. Contemporary lighting was added. Other items included herringbone floor, made to order interior door with circular detailing and remote controlled custom blinds. The herringbone floor and statement lighting give this home a modern edge, whilst its use of neutral colours ensures it is inviting and timeless.

The waterfront can be seen from all the living areas in this stunning estate and serves as a backdrop to design around. Clean cool lines with soft edges and rich fabrics convey a modern feel while remaining warm and inviting. Beach tones were used to enhance the natural beauty of the views. Stunning marble pieces for the kitchen counters and backsplash create visual interest without any added artwork. Oversized pieces of art were chosen to offset the enormous windows throughout the home. Robert Brantley Photography

The art studio or better known on-site as "The Lego Room" was designed and built to house the clients two large pottery kilns, and her husbands growing collection of custom art pieces. These cabinets were designed with storage in mind and are very large, making the installation rather unconventional. What you do not see in this photo is the secret door into the Master Closet behind the floor to ceiling bookshelf on the left. To be continued...

Great room with cathedral ceilings and truss details

The upper-level game room has a built-in bar, pool table, shuffleboard table, poker table, arcade games, and a 133” movie screen with 7.1 surround sound.

The benefits of living in sunny Florida are not needing to protect your car from the harsh elements of winter. For this garage makeover, we transformed a three-car garage into 3 unique areas for gathering with friends and lounging: a movie, card and pool table area. We added a fun removable wallpaper on the far wall, giving the room some fun character. The long wall of velvet curtains is not only for not feeling like you're in a garage, but they were added for acoustics and to allow the garage doors to still open as needed. Lots of fun to be had here!
