A pool table will inevitably be the centrepiece of a room. A presence. It anchors a room. Whether it’s tucked into a sleek dining space or ruling over a games room, it has gravity. So it needs to fit in or stand out – but either way it needs style. The good news? At Home Pool Tables we boast an unparalleled choice of cloth colours, table finishes and table styles. This lets you blend beauty and function easily in a way that suits your home.
Match the Mood
First things first: what’s the vibe? Is it a modern minimalist space with cool tones and bare walls? A cosy den with rustic furniture and soft lighting? Maybe a kitchen that you want to double as a games room after dark?
Every style has its match:
- Modern & minimal: matt black, gloss white, or Italian grey tables with clean, confident lines
- Rustic & warm: driftwood, dark oak, or dark walnut finishes that echo natural textures
- Soft neutrals: light & limed oak, light walnut, or grey tables that don’t shout, but don’t hide either
And if the space does double duty, like a kitchen-diner or lounge, look at pool dining tables—dual-purpose, cleverly disguised, and perfect for shared spaces.
Blend In or Make Some Noise
There’s no wrong answer here, only taste.
Want harmony? Choose a finish that mirrors your furniture or floor. Keep it subtle.
Want boldness? Contrast it. Light table in a dark room. Bold black in a pale space. Let the table speak up.
Most brands have many options to suit all tastes.
The Capstone, Pool Table Cloth Colour
Arguably the most pivotal choice in setting the scene – thankfully also the choice with the broadest array of options.
- Green: The original. Familiar, pub-style, and easy on the eye.
- Grey: Cool and contemporary. Fits in anywhere.
- Powder Blue: Sharp and sporty. Popular with competitive players.
- Black: Bold. Elegant. Confident.
- Burgundy: Rich and warm. Gives a nod to tradition.
- Orange/Fuchsia/Gold: You can’t knock it out the park if you don’t swing for the fences.
Match it to your settee. Or your wall art. Or your throw. Just let it tie into something nearby.
Light It Right
Got big windows? Just know that pale finishes might get washed out, while darker, natural ones will thrive.
If using warm bulbs, then think walnut, ash or oak. Cooler lights? Go black, grey, or white.
You might also want a dedicated pendant or bar light above the table. It helps your shots – and it puts the table in the spotlight it belongs.
The Subtle Details
There’s no easier way to inject some flair and finishing touches than with your accessories:
- Wall-mounted cue racks in matching wood tones.
- Free-standing metal cue stands to match the corners & details of the table.
- Benches or stools that echo the table’s style.
- A wooden triangle that matches the table finish.
It’s like framing a painting.
When It’s Not All About Pool
Some days it’s a games table. Some days it’s just a table.
If you want flexibility:
- Dining pool tables come with slimmer bodies and table tops to easily switch between dining table and pool table.
- Table tops are available even for regular pool tables that will match the finish and let you use the table as a bar.
- Fitted covers keep it low-key and dust-free between games.
Ideal for smaller rooms, or anyone who doesn’t want to commit 24/7.
