Let the Games Begin
The entry and foyer could act as a game room in a home where the family room is too small or the television is too noisy for board game concentration. Consider adding a drop-leaf table, a few chairs and a wooden chest filled with board and card games to the area. Or, if there's room, purchase a bench with game storage underneath. And finally, another option would be to construct a window seat with storage underneath and keep the drop-leaf table to the side. Try painting a checkerboard on the floor beneath the table and chairs for more fun. If the wall space allows, wallpaper this area differently than the rest of the main hall. For example, using a wallpaper that resembles suede or a library-wall print will enhance the game or club look.
