When Marvin at 7 Tide asked three Boston designers to curate boards for rooms they dream about creating for New England Living magazine, Interior Designer Eric Haydel decided to have fun with it. 

“The best space in your home is one where you can gather for fun and laughter! Look no further than what can already be found in your family’s game room,” says Haydel. “Rich textures and bold traditional colors mixed with nostalgic items from childhood is the name of the game.”
