Why not have a go at creating your very own poker room or area in your garage, loft or man cave.
When you think of a poker room, you most likely think of the bright lights of Las Vegas where casinos often host multiple tables surrounded by crowds of people. Or perhaps you’re more accustomed to the online poker rooms you access from your couch or those in your neighbor’s man cave. What if you could take the best bits of both stereotypes and create your own poker haven? Creating the right ambience in a home setting to host a poker evening can be challenging. To help you feel inspired while transforming your gaming room take a look at these five stylish poker rooms that very well may rival the best venues in the world.

3. The Open Plan Poker Room
Most people don’t have enough space to dedicate a whole room to poker – unless you’re a professional of course! So this open plan style poker room is a great option for anyone looking to dedicate an area to a table as opposed to a whole room. What’s great about this space, is that the poker table is very much part of the furniture. The open plan living space has been cleverly split into two sections, separated by contrasting black pillars and using spotlights to draw the eye to individual areas.
