Lava lamps go well in a retro game room.
A retro game room encourages homeowners to have a little fun while they take a trip down memory lane. In particular, if would-be decorators opt for both old and new items, decorating retro becomes a snap.
Era
Decide which era to highlight. You can choose an era dating back to the 50s to the 70s or 80s. Narrowing down the era helps the would-be decorator find the right room elements.
Uses
Determining the exact functions of the room will also help the homeowner as she plans the retro game room. For example, a 50s era game room might include places to dance and hang out, which calls for music; a jukebox filled with Elvis, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry adds a nice touch. Chrome soda shop-type tables and chairs would fit the atmosphere as well.
Options
Homeowners will easily find items to outfit their retro game room if they consider both antiques and replicas. Items can be found online and at antiques stores, estate sales and, in the case of replicas, in stores and catalogs.
