Adding Style To Your Room With A Decorative Chess Set
When you think of a chess set, chances are you think of an old wooden board with plain pieces that those strange guys in college played with into the wee hours of the morning. And while there can be no argument that chess is certainly a great way to pass the time, there is a use for chess that you may not have thought of – decorating.
But why would you want to decorate a room with a game? Well, chances are you won’t be basing the entire room design around the set, but you should consider adding a decorative set to accent your current design. It’s time to let go of the notion of chess being simply a game, and start thinking of it as a decorating tool.
Of course, you can’t really justify decorating with an old musty board and cheap wooden pieces, can you? This is where you need to start thinking of a chess set as décor and not a hobby – a nice chess board and pieces (and possibly table) are going to run you a good bit of cash, and thinking of it as a hobby or game is going to make it that much more difficult to buy. But, if you start to consider it as an ornamental piece, then it becomes much more justifiable. After all, how much will you spend on a custom Framed Picture, or an ornate Coffee Table? They both qualify as decorations, but consider that nearly everyone has these – how many times have you seen an intricately carved chess set in someone’s house?
The benefits of having a chess set as a decoration are numerous. It can instantly add a touch of class and sophistication to your room. Most people think of intelligence and refinement when they think of a nice looking marble chess set. It also provides a great conversation starter, since most people won’t be used to seeing a Hand Crafted chess table with carved pieces. And finally, consider passing on an antique chess set as an heirloom to your children – a well made set will last many, many years.
So the next time you redo a room, consider adding a decorative chess set and table as one of your pieces. You’ll add an instant conversation piece, and your room will look more refined and classy no matter what your decorating scheme.

I bought a beautiful chess set with pieces the size of board and tournament in Singapore.?
Please do not suggest sites or Toys R Us. Not very expensive unless of S $ 300 will do. Staunton chess set I want, not the people who design transformers strange. Tell me the name of the store and where it is located. N glass metal or plastic chess. Thank you.
