Discover the transformative effects of installing a family games room in this post.

What is a Garden Games Room?

Many people decide to install game rooms in their homes, but the practicalities are often lost in the initial excitement. Sure, the basement might seem like a convenient solution, but temperature fluctuations during winter and summer can become unbearable.

A garden games room lets you retain your current living space while also benefitting from a fuller lifestyle.

How Can You Use A Garden Games Room?

Games rooms are customisable, so you can create a design that fits your unique needs. The most popular uses for games rooms include:

  • Traditional Games: Imagine being able to have a few games of table tennis or head to your very own pool table after a stressful day at work.
  • Retro Gaming: If you’re a fan of retro arcade machines, creating a unique gaming space is the perfect way to relax and socialise.
  • A Personal Pub: Avoid paying high prices for your pint and battling over the dart board by creating your very own mini pub at home.
  • Modern Gaming: Games rooms can accommodate an internet connection, allowing you to install game consoles and keep the kids out of the living room.

The Benefits of a Garden Room for Gaming

Installing a games room has multiple benefits, including the opportunity to design a dedicated space, a better social life, freeing up your home, and enhanced focus. Let’s examine them in more detail.

Create a dedicated space for gaming

Your garden is the perfect space for a games room, as you can make as much noise as you want without worrying about disruptions. Casual gamers enjoy complete focus, while competitive gamers have a place to focus and hone their skills.

Enjoy an immersive experience

Imagine creating an epic garden room setup with large screens, perfect lighting and a state-of-the-art sound system. Whether you’re a fan of arcades or want to create a social hub, a garden room can become your go-to space for recreation.

Customisation

When you work with a specialist design and planning service, you can design your dream garden games room, featuring a bespoke layout and premium features. Some people keep it simple with a multi-functional space, while others might use ambient lighting and other amenities for gaming marathons.

Claim Your Home Back

Games rooms can be fantastic for quality family time, but children on consoles frequently can interrupt your life. Building a designated games room is ideal if you find yourself frequently battling over the TV, as it gives the kids (and their friends) somewhere to go.

Increase Property Value

Did you know that a well-designed garden games room can increase your property’s value? These highly versatile rooms make your property more attractive to prospective buyers.

Designing Your Dream Garden Games Room

When designing a garden games room, it’s essential to think about the type of space you want and your budget. Working with a professional service gives you access to specialist designers who can bring your vision to life.

Define Your Vision

Which type of room do you want to create? A traditional family room allows you to play board games and enjoy projector screens for movie nights, while gaming enthusiasts might want a more bespoke setup.

You can also install extra features like a bar and storage space. The layout you choose depends on available space, but our experts can help you come up with the perfect solution—even with a small garden.

Plan the Building

The majority of garden buildings fall under permitted development rights and don’t require planning permission, but there are some limitations.

You’ll need to check whether your room meets local building regulations. If not, you can make an application through the Planning Portal.

Remember Comfort

Garden rooms can serve as year-round spaces, but it’s important to consider comfort. Opting for an insulated garden room ensures seamless temperature regulation during the hotter and colder months, and we’ll also install double-glazing.

Be A Good Neighbour

It’s essential to consider your neighbours and minimise disruptions. Modern building materials are ideal for noise insulation and ensure that you won’t disturb the neighbours when playing your favourite games. 

Focus On Extra Features

You can put a unique stamp on the garden games room by adding comfortable seating, electrical sockets, modern lighting, and anything else that will transform the space. A skylight can enhance natural light and provide an incredible view.

Work With A Professional Garden Rooms Design Service

Installing a garden games room is the perfect way to spend time with your family and enjoy your favourite hobbies. While prefab or DIY garden rooms can be beneficial, opting for a bespoke building is a wise long-term investment.
