How to Use Skyline Chess Sets as Stylish Centrepieces in Your Luxury Home

A game of strategy. A piece of art. A story of cities. That’s what Skyline Chess brings to modern interiors today. More than just a game, these luxurious chess sets have evolved into conversation starters, bold decor objects, and timeless gifts that elevate any room they grace. Whether styled in a living room, or a study, their charm is undeniable. But how exactly can you make a chessboard the hero of your interior styling? This blog will guide you through curating your space with these beautiful sets from the UK-based brand Skyline, available in India at Spacio's retail stores in Mumbai & Kolkata & online and online through Spacio’s curated collection of Luxury Games.

Styling with Purpose: Why Chess Belongs in Your Decor

Today’s home is not just a place to relax – it’s an expression of taste. Chess sets, especially those crafted by Skyline Chess in India, combine sculptural design with function. When displayed well, they can anchor a space, add a touch of culture, and spark great conversations.

These are not just for players – they are for aesthetes, collectors, and those who admire fine craftsmanship. You don’t need to know the rules to appreciate the elegance of New York's Empire State versus London's Big Ben in bronze, steel or acrylic.

What Makes Skyline Chess Sets Unique

Designed in London, Skyline Chess captures the architectural spirit of global cities and translates it into chess pieces. Whether you pick the New York vs London edition, or something bolder like Dubai vs Paris, each set tells a story through material and form. Choose from finishes like:

• Solid bronze for a grand, statement feel

• Sleek acrylic for a modern edge

• Polished steel for an industrial chic aesthetic

• Boards made of Carrara marble, fine wood or printed card

They can also be customised for gifting, making them perfect as corporate gifts or luxury collectibles.

Where to Place a Chess Set in Your Home

Living Room Styling:
Place your Skyline Chess set on a centre table paired with a neutral rug and low seating. It becomes an anchor in your modern or contemporary living setup.

Bar & Den Styling:
For a moody touch, position the set on a smoked-glass surface in your bar or den. Add ambient table lamps and plush lounge chairs.

Bookshelves & Niches Styling:
A chessboard on a floating shelf within your book shelves creates an intellectual focal point. You can also lean the board vertically and display the city-themed pieces around it.

Entrance Foyer Styling:
Let your foyer reflect sophistication. A console table with a Skyline Chess set welcomes guests with both design and curiosity.
