Lad’s and Dad’s - Designs For A Big Kid

Finally June has arrived and father’s day is coming up, a day in the year where you can show your dad just how much you appreciate him. Sure you may be thinking he’s kind of old, has the odd dash of grey hair here and there but no doubt he’s still pretty hip not only as a dad or best friend but as a movie chum and competitive gaming partner to! Therefore what could be more fun and enjoyable than spending some quality time with dad this father’s day in your very own unique home based man cave game and media room.

It’s fair to say no matter how old the man no doubt deep down there’s still some big kid left in him, whether he is into the newest release consoles, games, movies or up to date gadgets, having a kitted out secret base hosting a hoard of games and movies with a no girls sign on the door sounds like the perfect space to escape for some father and son chill time and bonding.

Being a gaming nerd myself I have to admit I am slightly envious of these secret cinema and gamer dens myself. This neutral open home cinema room is not only spacious, but sporting some huge cotton bean bag pillows making it the ideal place to laze in comfort whilst watching a family film or two on an open wall using a digital film projector.

What’s even better is you can create a space without breaking the bank of dad much to his relief, it’s quite cool to be innovative and creative with any bits and bobs you may have around for the house to use. If dad’s quite the handy man with a hammer and nails something as cool as the tier cushion sofa furnishings seen in this chill out games room above can be put together.

A games and mini home media room can really be anything you want to make it, whether you’re wanting a more modern or classic look and feel the possibilities of making it a fun family space are endless. Whether you’re more of a classic games player up for a round of pool, an arcade kinda guy or guitar hero addict adding these elements to your personalised games space with co-coordinating decor, wall art and furnishings is sure to really give your secret space character and truly reflect your inner kid to all who are lucky enough to sneak in it.

Another great idea to keep in mind is to use hidden storage for the mass collection o of games, DVDs, music and gadgets as it’s safe to say this way you’ll keep the room spacious , tidy , keep mum happy and leave plenty of room for more.
