Although exercise machines and lap pools get all the glory, something as simple as a ping pong table and a commitment to use it may be all you need to get moving and keep moving again. Family games get everybody doing something active at the same time and make memories that last a lifetime.

Ping pong's resurgence shows no signs of slowing down. With a table at home, you don't need to pay through the nose to play at some loud club in Manhattan.

Hugo (production design: Dante Ferretti; set decoration: Francesca Lo Schiavo)Martin Scorcese's protagonist, Hugo, lives in a secret apartment previously used by train station employees. The exposed beams and lofty interior here just scream attic rafter style, as in Hugo. The orphan's living space among the rafters is about the ingenuity that comes out of necessity, about creating a workable space where no one would think it possible.

Don’t feel like it needs to be fancy. Game rooms in general are casual spaces for play and fun. As long as you’ve deemed the attic up to code as a living area, you can keep expenses down by furnishing it simply with your favorite game tables. Add some basic seating and let the games begin!

This attic-style game room is the perfect spot for a good, hard workout. To ensure there's plenty of space for that intense ping-pong match in a setup like this, fold up the treadmill after each use.

unfinished

Even if your attic isn’t finished (to allow for many creative crawl spaces), don’t be afraid to use the unfinished area for something else. This ping-pong table actually looks pretty damn good under the raw A-frame beams, and the folded treadmill and 1980s television complete the exercise room package.
