Select materials like Shiplap or Reclaimed wood that can handle the demands of this room.
When designing a farmhouse game room, consider accommodating different game types. Farmhouse design typically addresses this through painted furniture. Also keep in mind the room's task lighting over game tables and game equipment (cues, paddles, etc.) when selecting furniture and finishes.
