We have a pool house and I want to turn it into a hangout/party room. So I can have a place to hangout with my friends over the summer. I want to know what should be in the room. It is a fairly large space. We have a game table, tv, couch, bathrooms, and even a small kitchen. But its feels kinda empty, Like what kind of decorations should there be?

1] Scotchguard everything - party rooms are notorious for stains.
2] get a pool table or air hockey table [ not a playststion - you want people to party, not veg out ]
3] get more seating - depending on your budget, either cushions/floor pillows/beanbag chairs or casual, comfy 'real 'chairs.
4] add art! Do posters with a theme - like movies, album covers, heart throbs; frame or laminate them so they sort of match.[ idea- movies with pools in them ]
5] add some outdoor decor - like japanese lanterns, beach towel covered pillows, 'antique' [ metal ] ice chests as coffee or side tables.
6] plants always help

I would check out thrift stores in your area.
You can repaint and put slipcovers on stuff. That way if anything gets broke or spilled on it's easy to clean and you won't lose sleep if you have to throw something out. So, look for lines and comfort. You can pick out real funky colors and have a blast with it. Check out HGTV, DIYnetwork and discovery channel's Trading spaces they have great ideas.

If this is a hang out for teens have fun and include your friends in doing it you'll have a blast!!!! It will be a place you will never forget.

get some funky lamps, some posters or modern art, beanbags, fun cushions, maybe a furry rug or something. make sure it is a reflection of you and your tastes though!
