Best Furniture With Hidden Board Game Storage

You’ve gotten on board with this whole board game thing. You’ve got the coolest card games, the craziest board games, the wackiest co-ops and even a few solitaire games. But, where are you going to keep all those boxes, tins, bags and scorecards?

Effective, beautiful, hidden storage has been of great interest to us since our minimalist Mom started playing Sneaky Cards with our maximalist Dad who has hoards of Age Of Sigmar armies. Here are just a few of the secret storage solutions we’ve found along the way.


Bonnlo Extra Large Faux Leather Folding Storage Ottoman

No living room is complete without an ottoman with built-in storage, and this faux leather folding storage solution takes the cake. Available in a variety of colors, you’ll be able to find one that matches your home décor, helping your game stash blend in with your family room. We love its extra-large size, and versatility for storing game boxes, dice towers and MTG playmats. Find the Bonnlo Extra Large Faux Leather Folding Storage Ottoman on Amazon Here.


Ashley Furniture Signature Design Laflorn Chair Side End Table

This side table doesn’t have tons of storage, but the options it does boast makes it worth having in any gamer home. The traditional look helps it to blend in with regular furniture, and the built-in cup holders and power strip make it a game room essential. The cabinet is suitable for small game boxes, multiple decks of cards, and game controllers. Find the Ashley Furniture Signature Design Laflorn Chair Side End Table on Amazon Here.


STASH Folding Kids Sofa Chair with Built in Storage

We love kids’ furniture, but we love multi-functional kids’ furniture even more. This awesome child-sized chair not only makes comfortable seating for smaller children, but it also hides a spacious storage cubby for kid games or puzzles. When your child outgrows it, the chair folds into an ottoman for continued use. Find the STASH Folding Kids Sofa Chair with Built in Storage on Amazon Here.


Serta Copenhagen Reclining Sectional with Right Storage Chaise

Now we’re getting into the Big Bertha’s of storage. What if your couch wasn’t just a couch? What if it could store an entire bookshelf worth of games? That’s exactly what Serta had in mind when it designed this sectional with storage built into the chaise lounge. Simply lift upward on the cushion of the chaise lounge to reveal a hidden storage compartment. Find the Serta Copenhagen Reclining Sectional with Right Storage Chaise on Amazon Here.


Storage Chaise Lounge

Mom knows you don’t just want your furniture to be functional, you want it to be pretty, too. That’s why there was a squeal of delight when we found this tufted chaise lounge in a classic style with the modern addition of a hidden storage chamber under the cushion. Now the game room doesn’t have to look like a man-cave. It can look just as pretty as Mom wants it to be. Find the Storage Chaise Lounge on Amazon Here.


DHP Cambridge Upholstered Linen Platform Bed with Under Bed Storage

This full-size bed frame offers monster storage capacity. No longer is that spare room left wasting away between family holidays. Use that space to pack your game hoard where no one would expect it. The platform bed has a beautifully tufted headboard, and a gas-lift mechanism to lift the mattress so you can easily access your games underneath. It’s the perfect way to include massive storage into even the smallest spaces. Find the DHP Cambridge Upholstered Linen Platform Bed with Under Bed Storage on Amazon Here.

Family Room Ideas: Kid’s Play Area Rugs

When you’re setting up your family room and gaming area, it can be hard to find the right rug or playmat to help your littlest gamers feel at home. Adding the right playmat can make your game space the most popular room in the house. We’ve scoured the seemingly endless supply of family room play mats and living room rugs to help find the perfect accessory to keep little ones busy.

Extra Large Kids Rug City Life

What kid doesn’t want the perfect carpet for driving cars and trucks on? If you’re looking for a playmat with a city layout for your toddler or elementary aged kids, this play area rug may be just what you need. With clearly defined buildings, roads and crosswalks, the City Life carpet lends itself to playing with cars, dolls, action figures and toy boats. At 79” x 40”, it delivers on size, leaving plenty of room for kids to play with friends and siblings without arguing about space. Find the Extra Large Kids Rug City Life on Amazon Here.


KC CUBS Playtime Collection

Educational family room accessories are so important to us, but it can be hard to find a playmat that is suitable beyond learning to crawl on. It’s especially difficult to find rugs with more than just one or two learning prints on them. We were so excited when we found this area rug with vibrant prints of the alphabet, seasons, months and days of the week. The carpet can be ordered in a variety of different sizes to make sure that it fits your play space, and the illustrations are clear and hold up to foot traffic.

Learning Carpets Chalk Walk

Don’t worry about having to bundle up on a winter day to get the kids moving. Instead, consider bringing playground style fun indoors with the Learning Carpets Chalk Walk. Durable enough to be used as a family room playmat, this rug has a fun hopscotch game printed on it to inspire jumping and active indoor play. Find the Learning Carpets Chalk Walk on Amazon Here.


Melissa & Doug Round The Barnyard Farm Activity Play Rug

We’ve purchased may Melissa & Doug products over the years, and I was so excited to find one of their family room accessories to add to this list.

For those of you looking for a smaller area rug to use as a playmat, Melissa & Doug has created a beautiful activity rug with a country theme. Small enough to be machine washable, this durable barnyard carpet will keep little cowboys and cowgirls busy with tending the fields and driving the included tractor along the dirt drive. The playmat also comes with a cow, pig, horse and a trailer, which will inspire your toddler to start playing as soon as you open the box.

Smithsonian Rug World Map Learning Carpet

If you didn’t catch what we said earlier, we really love adding learning accessories to our game room. We and fell in love with this World Map learning carpet. Not only is it a fun play mat for a classroom, but the Smithsonian map of the world looks smart as little gamers navigate their way around the game room. Find the Smithsonian Rug World Map Learning Carpet on Amazon Here.


Cusphorn Kids Carpet

If you are looking for family room playmats that are a bit more stylish, we understand. Bold colors and crazy designs aren’t for everyone. If you’d rather have muted tones that are pleasing to the eye (and easier to match to your living room furniture), then Cusphorn’s Village Life carpet is the way to go. With simple, neutral colors, and a plush velvety feel, this uncluttered play mat is pleasing to adult fashion sensibilities as well as little hands and feet. Find the Cusphorn Kids Carpet on Amazon Here.


Baby Play Mat With Fence

You know those bold colored foam puzzle floor tiles that have been interlocked on the floors of every preschool since the mid-90’s? Well, they’ve gotten a face-lift. If you have infants at toddlers underfoot, then this foam playmat may help to keep them in their own space. Once you’re done with tummy time and ready for rambunctious toddlers, lay the fence down as a nice curved border, creating a sophisticated and stylish foam playmat that will be the envy of moms stuck with primary-color family room accessories. Find the Baby Play Mat With Fence on Amazon Here.


No matter which direction your home decorating leads you, we hope this list helps you to find the perfect kid’s playmat for your game room.
