One of the latest trends in home design is the new entertaining spaces, this used to mean maybe a home theater or man cave bar & pool table or even a poker room.  Now that's all changed for extreme over the top designs, like full-on commercial arcade styled game rooms.  Forget that Xbox hooked to the family TV; Retro is Back and in a Big Way!  Many families are now looking to recreate that classic look of the older styled boardwalk arcades that they remember form their youth.  They want to be the house all the children want to come to, they want to be the house that has fun parties and most importantly they want to be the house that their children actually want to bring their friends to!  Arcade style sit-down games and pinball machines are all critical to the over all look, feel and continued patronage but themes are also important and shouldn't be over looked.  Tin ceilings, beer neon's, jukebox or even your favorite cartoon characters all help to round-out and deepen the experience.  This allows you to be emersed and get lost in the moment.  Trust me everyone will be talking about the parties at your house.  Heck when the zombie apocalypse comes you'll need something to do while your barricaded in your house for months right?  Just a thought but you'd better add a home generator to the budget as you'll need some way to power the games when the city's electric grid go down, maybe solar or wind power as a backup.  Who says going green can't be fun after all it's just good planing. lol  

In the coming weeks and months I will be writing about many more of these unique new entertaining trends, so stay tuned.
