Transform a Corner of Your Home

Game Spot

All you need:

• A tiny table
• A floor lamp
• A couple of chairs
• A stack of games

Tips on putting it together:

• This is a fun space, so go with a bright, cheery table. If you don’t have one, paint an old one a vivid shade. Hang a colorful framed poster or some other piece of art above the table to complete the look.
• Airy, leggy pieces, such as the furniture here, keep a small corner from feeling crowded.
• A nice-looking chess- or checkerboard can stay out, decorating the table and summoning players. When games get buried in the closet, they’re forgotten about. Leave one set for play and pile others on a footstool and they’re more likely to be used.
• No need to match chairs. This is a great place for showcasing random favorites.
