In college, when I was able to stay up past midnight, I remember many late nights with friends laughing and telling stories around a pool table. At one point I got quite good at the game and remember thinking how fun it would be to have a pool table in my house. But how on earth does such a mammoth table fit in the home? And does it make a home feel like a pub?
It turns out there are many ways to incorporate a pool table into a particular interior style, from fancy French to futuristic. Whether the rooms take their cue from the table or the other way around, the results can be stunning.

The earthy, natural woven ceiling of this space is paired with neutrals, modern lighting and a classic, straight-lined pool table.
This custom pool table by Adler sets the modern, tropical vibe of this game room. Note that the furniture pieces in the background all have the same straight lines as the pool table, adding to the modern styling.

| Along with custom tables goes custom felt. This blue-gray custom felt is repeated in the upholstery throughout this grand game room. The palette feels masculine, with rich-tone woods, taxidermy and sports memorabilia peppered throughout the space. I would say this qualifies as a man cave. |

| Another model by Adler features curvy, modern styling. This Infinity model is hand stained in espresso and carmel tones, which are repeated in the trim and the interior doors throughout this handsome space. This style pool table also could work in an art deco–inspired space. |
Here is another example of custom felt that ties in with the room's palette. I love the ceiling detail of the sitting area that is just adjacent to the pool table. Notice how the warm palette of gold, rust and brown is repeated in the drum pendants that hang at multiple lengths over the table.

| This Market Street penthouse in San Francisco features luxurious materials that read modern and sophisticated. A dreamy city view is not the only thing worth staring at; the night skyline lights up with the same deep blue as the custom felt and upholstery in this space. Custom bookshelves repeat the gorgeous table's rich wood tone. I would say this room is ready for a cocktail party. |

| A light and airy spin on recreation in a basement. This modern-flavored space features a floating gas fireplace, maple flooring and cone-shaped pendant lights perfectly placed across the entire stretch of the table. Lighting should span the entire length of the table for proper viewing during games. A geometric-patterned rug anchors the pool table, and we see the table's rich blue felt repeated in the bar stools. |

A great black and white color scheme surrounds the pool table in this modern pool table barn. Oversized black and white art becomes a focal point behind the table. Notice how the barn aesthetic is created with oversized barn doors and interior walls sans drywall. Modern touches, like the lighting and Panton chair, strike a great contrast against the barn details.

Don't forget that tables come in different sizes, but perhaps even more importantly, there are different size cues that can be used like the line of Trouble Shooter short cues that can easily make that tough shot behind a post a thing of the past!
Whatever you choose, enjoy and post some pictures!
We use the room all the time, everyone loves it!
I never wanted to have guest downstairs while others were upstairs. When we move, we will do the same thing again!
To dagk - cues are most likely on a wall not photographed. Just like lamps and computers - you never see the cords!
Not to mention, there are always ways to "hide" them.
