If you are thinking of getting your own billiards table, the first thing you need to decide is where you will put your table. You'll need enough space, so you don't hit the walls with your pool cue.

My first billiards room was in our living room. We didn't have any living room furniture, so we decided that we would get more use out of a pool table than a nice couch and coffee table. Unfortunately the room wasn't big enough for the pool table, so one corner required use of the short stick at a 60 degree angle. Not the best scenario, but still better than not having your own billiards table.

The perfect solution is to create a billiards room, where you can create the perfect look, atmosphere, and ambience to complement your billiards table. Of course, having a large home and a room going spare would be ideal, but not many people have this luxury, so the next best thing is to make room. Depending on the size of your home - and your family - you could relegate another room, such as a little-used dining room or even a large basement. A few changes in decor, lighting and furnishings can make this into a perfect billiards room environment.
Wherever you decide to have your billiards room, you need to ensure that it will serve the purpose. You need to have room for your pool table and for necessary accessories that will give your billiards room the right ambience and look. You also need to have room to freely move around, so don't be tempted to go for a room that can just about squeeze in your pool table with very little room for anything else, including the players!
Accessorize, furnish and light it up
The key to the perfect billiards room is to have the right billiards accessories, furniture and lighting as well as a suitable space. You can get some fantastic accessories these days, so you can make your billiards room really individual and unique. You will need to look at the more fundamental accessories as well, such as:
Cue sticks Pool cue racks Pool table covers Pool table lights Other pool table accessories
Other pool table accessories include essentials such as ball racks, table felt, table hooks, chalk and brushes.
