A pool table is a great addition to any home, but they are so large that it can be tricky finding a place for them to fit. Here we look at various pool room layouts to use as inspiration in your own space.
Sectioned Entertainment Room Layout
This entertainment room has been cleverly laid out to accommodate a movie viewing area with an overhead projector and a pool playing area.
A corner sofa has been used, with its back towards the pool table, to serve as not only seating for the movie room but also as a room divider to define the different areas in the space. A long bench backs onto the sofa, which is an ideal seating area for people playing pool or watching other players.

Luxury Spacious Pool Room Layout
A large and spacious corridor area in this luxury home has been utilized with a pool room, transforming an otherwise useless space into an area where owners and guests can enjoy passing the time.
The table is centered in the space to make a feature of it, with houseplants positioned on the floor in various spots as decoration.

Basement Billiards Room
This large basement room has been converted into an entertainment space with a billiards table and a separate casual seating area. The sofas and armchairs have been arranged at one end of the room, facing away from the billiards table, in order to define the seating area as a separate space.
The billiards table is illuminated by overhead lighting, with accessories such as extra cues stored at the side of the room.

Traditional Living Room with Pool Table
This is a traditional lounge with a portion of the room at the back of the space designated to a pool table.
As pool tables take up a significant amount of space, and you also have to consider room around the perimeter of the table for players and their cues, it means that furniture should not be placed close by to the table. Here, the seating furniture is all kept at the far end of the space.
See the layout below.
Pool Room with Home Bar
This rec room has been set up as a pool room with a home bar. The pool table is centered in the middle of the space, with the bar set at a diagonal angle at one end of the room.
The bar features bar stools that will double up as seats where people can perch and watch pool being played. Pool cue holders have been fitted to the wall for storing cues, next to a sideboard that features a lamp for extra lighting and decoration.

Home Theater and Pool Room
The large rec room featured here includes a home theater space as well as a pool playing area. The movie area is based around a wall unit which includes a TV screen, with two large comfy chairs set in front of it, and a side table to hold drinks and snacks. The pool table is set behind the movie area with its own designated lighting.

Open Plan Living Room with Pool Table
This room perfectly depicts how a pool table can fit into an ordinary lounge if you wish. The living room here might ordinarily feature two sofas and a coffee table in the middle; however, the owners have downsized their furniture to just armchairs and moved everything to one side, making the seating area much smaller in order to accommodate a pool table at one end of the room.

Long and Narrow Pool Room
This is a long space that benefits from a wall of windows at one end. A seating area has been arranged in front of the windows to enjoy the view, while the pool table is set behind the sofa to create two distinct areas.

A light fitting over the billiards table helps to define it as the showpiece.
