Games at Home

What’s Hot for the Home in July

Summer is in full swing, and there’s only so much baking in the sun that you can do, right? To keep the fun going, set up some aesthetically pleasing games sourced from Coral Gables shops to create a playful atmosphere at home that everyone can enjoy. 

Got Your Back

Louis Vuitton’s portable backgammon set is an easy choice if you’re looking to start a collection of games. An heirloom-quality statement piece on its own, it’s also a well-loved diversion for many. Retail: $16,900, Louis Vuitton at Neiman Marcus. 390 San Lorenzo Ave., 305-446-0116, us.louisvuitton.com. 

Perfect Timing 

A unique decoration for a game room or any area of the home, the Ela clock from Roche Bobois offers a dizzying yet artful interpretation of a classic timepiece. Retail: $1,025. Roche Bobois, 450 Biltmore Way, 305-444-1017. 

Wall Art

Jazz up your game room (or any area of your home) with a statement wall in Thibaut’s Channels wallpaper in Emerald. This punchy print would add an instant dose of playful energy. Retail: $228 per roll. GK Design Center, 2319 S. Le Jeune Rd., 305-461-1002, gkdesigncenter.com. 

Catch Your Fall

A more stylish version of every child’s beloved Jenga, Crate & Barrel’s Tumbling Tower game is chic enough to leave out on display. Made from New Zealand pine blocks and accompanied by a canvas carrying tote, this will easily become a family favorite. Retail: $159.95. Crate & Barrel, 358 San Lorenzo Ave., 305-460-3560, crateandbarrel.com. 

Game On

While it was designed to weather the elements, JANUS et Cie’s new Tangent pool table would look just as elegant in a sunroom or living room setting. Beautifully constructed with a modern shape and elegant iroko wood legs, the item’s use can be extended to function as an extra table with the addition of a separately sold three-piece top. Retail: $29,950. Janus et Cie, 273 Giralda Ave., 305-438-0005, janusetcie.com
