The home we bought recently has a 'bonus' room. It used to be the garage, but a new garage was added and now this is a blank canvas! We are going to turn it into a 'rec room' of sorts. Drywall is going up now. We can't decide on the decor though. We love Key West and thought of doing a tiki-hut kind of theme, then thought of surfboard/beach themes, and we are just spinning our wheels. The only furniture we have marked for it is a sweet new red leather sectional. I thought of doing a retro-like look based on that. We will likely add a pool table and big screen TV. We don't drink alcohol, if that makes any difference. The rest of the house is pretty wild, as far as colors go. Bright yellows, reds, lime green, etc. I know, it sounds insane, but it is really awesome and anything goes. If I could add pictures, I would. So, throw your cool ideas out there!

Search pool table on Houzz.com! A bunch come up - and a bunch have red in them. So it seems like you are on the right track. I looooove Houzz for inspiration.

Key west inspired decor. Take inspiration from here. Your colors sound so fun and perfect for a rec room. Just don't make the mistake of getting too many cutesy trinkets so it ends up looking like a theme restaurant threw up in your rec room.

Just don't make the mistake of getting too many cutesy trinkets so it ends up looking like a theme restaurant threw up in your rec room. Exactly. We're not really trinket-y type people. In fact, our other house is pretty boring, in terms of color. Pretty much all browns and other neutrals with the decor mainly being things of nature like rocks, pine ones, bird nests, etc. that I have found outside over the years. This house is 'fun' and colorful, but the walls are pretty much still blank. That is kind of why we'd like to find a 'theme' and stick to it in the bonus room.
