Game On: Awesome Gaming Room Design Ideas

It's every gamer's dream to have the perfect gaming station and the room that personifies who they are; a room where they feel like they can let loose and be themselves no matter what. Such a room would be the best place to sit back and enjoy countless hours of fun gaming. 

If you're thinking of turning your room into the game room of your dreams, then here are some ideas and tips to consider when you're designing it.

Soundproofing For Your Freedom’s Sake

This is an excellent idea because you might be so immersed in some engaging and exciting games that could be loud for others living with you. Even if you're using headphones, you might occasionally laugh, shout, or scream loudly depending on the game you're playing. So, instead of worrying about bothering the people around you, you can start soundproofing your space with layers of insulating foams that can come in different colors. You can choose which ones you need and make a nice combination. Also, you could go for some drywall installations to cancel out most of the noise and avoid distractions while playing. The variety of colors allows you to be creative with the design as well, and go crazy with the colors in ways that make you happy.

Comfort Starts With Your Chair

A normal chair is not only boring but might also be bad for your back and neck. When you go for a nice gaming recliner chair you'll be able to play for hours without noticing how much time has passed. As you see on this website, there are different designs and features your gaming chair could have. You need one with amazing lumbar support, a footrest for extra comfort, and built-in massagers for your neck and back. Since this will be yours, you can find a chair with the best quality material, but customize it however you like; it might cost you extra but it'll be worth it! Adjustable reclining features, good leather material, and proper padding are great, but mixing it with a personalized touch can make it perfect. 

Your Desk Is Everything

You must get a desk that can take everything, and with ample space left over so you don't feel trapped in your own gaming station. A great desk could be L-shaped or Z-shaped, depending on your room layout and preference. It would be nice to get one with excellent ergonomic features where you can adjust the height as you see fit. Also, be generous with your extra trays. Some desks have them built-in, while others will need you to install them separately; they're always perfect whenever you want to put your gear and other devices in them. That’s not to mention that having a slide-tray for eating makes things a lot easier. Remember to get a cup and headphone holders too: it's a lot easier and minimizes damages or spills.

Your Wall of Fame

A gamer’s memorabilia and toys are treasures not meant to be stored in some closet. They need to be in a nice corner with a beautifully-designed set of shelves that showcase your collection for everyone to see, and for you to admire. Remember to match it with your room color, or, even better, have it look like something out of a video game: maybe add in extra touches as if it's a game vault, or have creepy zombie hands touching each side of the shelves. You can go crazy with your ideas. Then place every toy, plush, collectible, mini statues, magnets, or anything else that relates to you and your gaming life.  

Extra Screens For The Win

Now that you have the perfect desk for your room, it's time to work on your gaming station's layout. One of the best things about gamers is that they can be creative with how they manage their screens. You can set up multiple screens in a way that makes your gaming experience more immersive and easy: you could have two main screens in the middle, one for your games and one screen for looking up guides or news about your favorite game. It wouldn't surprise anyone if you had a screen to watch a show or movie while you're grinding for something in the game, or waiting for a spawn so you can loot its rare treasure! Check different monitors that can suit your designing preference and budget. 

The Walls Are Coming To Life!

You can bring your room’s walls to live by designing different corners of your walls with cool optical illusion wallpaper or painting designs. You could make it in a way that looks so real that anyone would believe something is coming out of your walls! It could be anything from alien invaders, zombies, to your favorite heroes coming to save the day. You can take it up a notch and have that one big corner in your room portrays two enemies fighting each other by using paint or wallpaper. If done right, you can make it look so real and lifelike. From Uther sparring with Arthas, Master Chief fighting Locke, or even Mario battling Bowser, let your imagination run wild!

Creative Lighting For a Better Mood

Your lighting system is one of the best aspects that can truly turn your room around, and designing it can be so much fun. Normal lighting can be dull or too bright, so you need to come up with a lighting system that suits your preference. Try to install different lighting in every part of your room, making some parts moody and mysterious while having that elegant look too. Remember to have an easy push-button control system to dim your lights or turn them off whenever you're watching something. Be creative with your different colors and always remember to match it with everything in the room.

The most important things that every gamer needs, are complete relaxation and comfort when they're playing their favorite games. This can be done by changing your room into your gaming comfort zone. Whether it was normal or customized, you'd be surprised just how a good and neatly designed room, that you can feel comfortable with, can make your gaming sessions the best ones ever. So, be unique and make things perfectly suited for your needs.
