How you choose to color the room and what you display around your Ping-Pong table will make all the difference. While virtually any room can be decorated in a day, you'll want to take your time planning the room before you begin so you know exactly what you want to see in your finished Ping-Pong room. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Select a color to paint or wallpaper the room in, using light, playful colors like white, yellow, light blue or mint green for a lighthearted style of game or use deep green, red or navy blue to encourage a more competitive environment.

2

Place your Ping-Pong table in the room where you'll have at least 3 feet of space on each side of the table and 5 to 6 feet of open space on the ends.

3

Suspend lighting over the table provided it doesn't hang low or it may get hit with the Ping-Pong ball and/or block visibility. Place floor lamps in the corners of the room and out of the way of swinging paddles to provide light if a ceiling light isn't an option.

4

Place upholstered chairs or a love seat in the room well out of the way of your table's play space needs to give spectators and friends awaiting a turn a place to sit. For a relaxed atmosphere set out bean-bag chairs instead of sturdy furniture, and stack them a corner for storage.

5

Hang valances or short curtains along any windows in the room to block out sunlight which might get into a player's eyes. Use colors for the window dressing that coordinate with your walls.

6

Mount a chalkboard, rewriteable marker board or scoreboard to the wall near the center line of the Ping-Pong table to keep track of points and provide a leader board for the current best player.
