Want to add a games room to the garden for family entertainment. Should I design around a pool table or go for flexible multi-use space?

The choice really depends on your family's entertainment preferences and how often you'll realistically use dedicated gaming equipment. A built around a pool table needs precise dimensions - minimum 5m x 4m for comfortable cue action - plus climate control to prevent table warping. Multi-purpose designs offer more versatility with moveable furniture, gaming consoles, dart boards, and table tennis that can be stored when not needed. Consider who will use the space most - teenagers might prefer gaming setups while adults favor traditional games
