The Games Room Guide: Styling Tennis and Sport Art Prints

When it comes to creating a stylish and inviting games room, the wall art you choose can make all the difference. Tennis prints have become increasingly popular in interior design, offering a sophisticated blend of sport, lifestyle, and vintage-inspired charm. Whether you're designing a dedicated games room, a home gym, or a multifunctional entertainment space, here's how to style a tennis print to perfection.

Choose the Right Wall

The placement of your tennis print sets the tone for the entire room. Consider positioning it as a focal point above seating areas, behind a bar cart, or on the wall facing the entrance. In a games room with a pool table or table tennis setup, a tennis print creates a cohesive sporting theme without overwhelming the space. The key is to choose a wall that naturally draws the eye and complements the room's layout.

Embrace the Mediterranean Aesthetic

Tennis prints often evoke the glamorous Mediterranean lifestyle of sun-drenched courts and leisurely matches in the south of France or Italian Riviera. To enhance this vibe, pair your tennis print with complementary colours like terracotta, warm whites, and soft greens. These earthy tones create a sophisticated backdrop that allows the print to shine whilst maintaining that coveted slow living aesthetic.

Frame It Right

The framing of your tennis print can elevate its impact significantly. For a classic, timeless look, opt for natural oak or light wood frames that complement Mediterranean-inspired interiors. Alternatively, black frames create a bold, contemporary contrast that works beautifully in modern games rooms.

Create a Sporting Gallery Wall

Tennis prints work wonderfully as part of a curated gallery wall featuring other sporting or leisure-themed artwork. Mix your tennis print with coastal scenes or botanical prints to create visual interest whilst maintaining a cohesive colour palette.

Consider Scale and Proportion

The size of your tennis print matters. In a spacious games room with high ceilings, don't be afraid to go large. Conversely, smaller prints work beautifully in more intimate spaces or as part of a collection. Measure your wall space carefully and consider how the print will look from various vantage points in the room.
