Designer board games to decorate your home (sideboard, coffee table)? - yes, please!

Apr 1

My blog has moved! :) here is the link to my new website.

This page may include affiliate links – my full disclosure statement is available here.

Fun and stylish, and good for brains - what can be better? :) My secret decorative dream is to fill shelves and sideboards at home not only with books but with several well-designed board game boxes! So far of those board game boxes that I would like to see on my open shelves as decorative objects, I only have a classic black-and-white chessboard… :)

So here are some of the ideas:

Printworks chess blue - designer board games to decorate you home, sideboard, shelf — The **whole board games range** from **Printworks** - but my personal favorite - the chess collection, particularly in blue and green!

Areaware Gradient Puzzle - designer board games and puzzles to decorate you home, sideboard, shelf — The **Areaware** *Gradient Puzzles collection* looks great! Though at least 6 beautiful vibrant color schemes are available, I, of course, chose grey :) Actually, I never tried “gradient“ puzzles, curious to give it a try….

Areaware Pattern Puzzle - designer board games and puzzles to decorate you home, sideboard, shelf — Another great design from **Areaware** - Pattern Puzzle in a beautiful bright box! Available on their website or *here*.

Felix Salut Galapagos Game - designer board games and puzzles to decorate you home, sideboard, shelf — A typography-inspired **Galapagos Game** by Amsterdam-based designer studio Felix Salut is
available on their website. Funny thing - I wanted this game so badly several years ago - they were selling it in COS stores at that time, as a part of their Gifts collection, if I remember correctly, but then it was completely sold out and I couldn’t recall the name of the manufacturer - and I found it again 5 minutes ago while writing this blog post!

Printworks Wildlife Pattern Puzzle - designer board games and puzzles to decorate you home, sideboard, shelf — **Printworks** puzzle collection in beautifully designed boxes.

Bauhaus chess by Naef - designer board games and puzzles to decorate you home, sideboard, shelf — Also I always dreamed of **‘Bauhaus‘ chess set by** **Naef!**

This one is on the expensive side! - if someone is interested, it’s available for example here (the chess board itself) + figures here.
As an **alternative** (but also expensive…) you may want to have a look at this *Man Ray Schachspiel set by Klein & More*.

P.S. HAY also has several well-designed board games in nice bright boxes. Not exactly what I’m searching for in terms of design, but still worth having a look: Backgammon is spotted here and here, and chess sets here and here.

Also, you may want to have a look at 3 Interior Design and Interior Styling Books I can safely recommend.

Have fun! :)
