Looking for a home decor accessory that does double duty? Look no further than a stylish gameboard. Classic games such as XO and solitaire are not just fun to play; they also make great contemporary pieces that add character to your home. In this post, we’ll look at decorating with gameboards to elevate your living space.
Games for Grown-ups
Who says that games are just for the playroom? While it’s certainly entertaining to challenge your guests to a game of noughts and crosses after dinner, gameboards can also work as serious design pieces in their own right.
Today’s XO games and modern solitaire board games are sophisticated decor accessories that will look perfect in your home office or on your living room coffee table. Look for high quality materials such as marble, crystal glass and stainless steel, and understated colour combinations like classic black and white.
How to Style Your Gameboard
Interior designers know that designer accessories can add charm and personality to any living space, and gameboards will add a new dimension to your curation. Try placing a sleek, modern XO game board on a coffee table next to a small pile of art books and a vase of fresh flowers or a houseplant. The variation in height will create a visually pleasing display, even when the board is not in play.
Gameboards can also be very effective in the more private areas of your home. Add a marble solitaire board game to the desk in your study or the side table in your reading nook to create a relaxing space that encourages concentration.
A well chosen gameboard will help pull your interior together, no matter where you choose to place it: think of it as another piece of sculpture that can complete a bookshelf display or create a focal point in your lounge area. So opt for a colour palette or a material that ties in with the rest of your decor scheme to promote a sense of harmony.
