SUMMER GAME NIGHTS WITH STYLISH GAME ROOM LIGHTING

Lake houses, beach houses and mountain houses… it’s finally your time to shine! As families begin to retreat to vacation homes for annual reunions and much-needed R&R, we’re thinking about the sweet summer memories that are made with a little friendly competition. Whether you spend it playing pool, Foosball, ping-pong, cards or a favorite board game, a game night can become a longstanding tradition that the whole family looks forward to each year.

In order to create a space that will lend itself to long summer nights of competitive family fun, game rooms should be designed with comfort and functionality at the forefront. Comfy seating and plenty of task lighting over game tables, for example, are a must.

But game rooms should also be designed to achieve an aesthetic that is cohesive with the rest of the interiors while contributing to a stylish and sophisticated reflection of the homeowner’s personal aesthetic. One way to do this is with decorative lighting.

A Hammerton Studio Uptown Mesh fixture with Beige Silver finish and frosted inner lens and mesh outer lens, a perfect transitional look for this contemporary room.

This Asian-style fixture with drums in a Light Mica lens and Dark River Rust finish complements the aesthetic of the room, complete with an Asian-inspired shoji screen.

The owner of this stunning mountain home requested a fixture depicting her love of winter skiing. This Hammerton custom showcases summit silhouettes, pine trees, and ski gear, glowing with warmth even in the coldest months.
