I bought a house (2900 SF) with an open floor plan design in the main living areas and a 450SF dance floor with a 14' vaulted ceiling that adjoins the main living room.I installed 24 x 24 marble tiles in the dance area and also put in a Wurlitzer full sized commercial Juke Box and a modern round table and bar stool set.Have a motorized 18" mirrored disco ball with the colored mini spot lights and a couple of black lights.Question is: should I go all out and put in the retro cafe booths and table,vintage coke machine,and a vintage pin-ball machine or should I leave it as an open dance floor?
That really depends on your lifestyle. Will you use the dance floor more than you would the pin-ball machine, the booths? I've done homes with dance floors for people who have ballroom, line dancing and salsa as a hobby and they constantly use their floors. But, I've had other clients who thought it would be nice to have a dance floor installed only to find that they didn't entertain much that way. Now in one home, we left the dance floor but added french bistro cafe tables and chairs that could be moved when they wanted to use the floor to dance. In the end, the decision should be based on your lifestyle and what in the end will be an extension of it.
