Billiard room is your business card

It is the interior of the billiard room that creates the elitism effect of the closed club, breathing aristocracy into it, i.e. thereby providing that very attractive and amazing atmosphere.

The interior of the billiard room emphasizes the individuality of its owner. Aristocratic styles of designing rooms for billiards, of course, remain the most valuable and sought after at all times, such as knightly, English, palace and Egyptian.

Design and zoning of a billiard room

The design of the billiard room, like any other room, it is advisable to think in advance, even during the construction of the house. But in the premises used, you can also organize the necessary transformations. If this is a city apartment, it is best to allocate a separate room for billiards. However, if necessary, it is possible to combine a billiard room, for example, with living room or hall, can be combined with a library. The main condition is the presence of a dry microclimate and a maintained temperature in the range of 18 - 20 degrees. In order not to cause discomfort during the game,  the dimensions of the room should be such that the distance between the edge of the table and any wall is not less than the length of the cue.

After the room is selected, you should carefully consider its zoning. The placement of the table is the central zone. And all other zones are exclusively for the consideration of the owners. If you want to organize a place to relax, then again you need to think about what will be included in it. Perhaps the recreation area will be complemented by a table or bar. It is important that the furniture is high enough for a good view of the playing field for the seated.

In general, in the classic version, a respectable billiard room should have, in addition to a table, stands for balls and a cue. In addition, you must have a sofa or comfortable chairs and a small bar with drinks.

The most creative design includes slot machines in the billiard room, as well as a TV, home theater or music center.

The color and style of the billiard room is usually determined by the table itself, which represents the main component of the room. And the table, as you know, is made of wood and cloth, and these materials must be repeated in the interior design.

Gender is an important element

Special attention should be paid the floorbecause a table for billiards is very heavy, respectively, and the load on the floor will not be weak. The best option is to use carpet covering, wooden floor or durable matte porcelain tiles. Absolutely not recommended floor tiles - a sliding floor will interfere with the game, and a ball that has fallen on ceramics,  she’ll smash it.

A pool table

There are two main types of billiard tables: for the American pool and for the Russian pyramid. The differences are in the width of the pockets and the size of the playing field. In Russia, there are about thirty manufacturers of billiard tables¸ including those having a line of tables for use at home. The choice of table and its size depends on personal preferences, as well as on the size of the billiard room itself.

Lighting is equally important

If the choice of flooring is an important element for a billiard room, then properly selected lighting is one of the most important aspects of interior design. By tradition, the billiard room usually has twilight and soft diffused light, located directly above the playing area,  moreover, at the eye level of a standing person, which eliminates interference in the form of shadows, excluding the accuracy of the blow. Classic lampshades are perfect for this, they can also be elegant scattered light fixtures that are mounted to the ceiling in the play area, observing a distance of 80 - 100 cm.

Other light sources may be present, in harmony with style and the overall interior, but separate switching on of devices is necessary.

Do not forget about accessories

Accessories in the billiard room include things such as a rack for gaming accessories, a set of balls and a cue. You also need a brush to clean the cloth, because It is not recommended to use a vacuum cleaner to avoid stretching the fabric of the pool table.

In addition, it is good to use absolutely any accessories that have billiard symbols to give the appropriate atmosphere. It can be, for example, special “billiard” ashtrays or watches.
