Video Game Room Design Ideas to “Level up” Your Gaming Space
Use ambient lighting to brighten your room. This is the light from floor lamps or ceiling fixtures. To make your keyboard more visible, you might need task lighting like table lamps. Accent lighting, such as wall sconces placed near your gaming desk, can help make your setup look more modern. To enhance your video gaming room, laser light and its beautiful colors and patterns will bring the starry skies of Earth to your four walls.
Six ideas for a video game room
You now have the basics of video gaming room setup. Now you can decide which ideas are best for you. These six ideas are just some of the possibilities, but your imagination is limitless!
1. Movie-themed room
Your gaming room can double as a mini movie theatre if you use your projector or TV for gaming. This video room idea works well in living rooms, as you can have movie-themed gaming areas for both action-packed games and heart-warming comedy flicks.
Put up posters and tickets from your favorite movies to make movies part of your space. This video game room can be paired with figurines from your favorite movie franchise. You get bonus points if you add an old DVD player and a popcorn machine to transform the room into a movie theater.
2. Color-themed room
The majority of walls in your home are painted a fairly standard color, such as an off-white or a dull grey shade. A color-themed gaming area can make your home feel so much more exciting. You can make your room feel different by using bright colors, such as red or blue, or even pitch-black walls. This is not an assumption – color has mood effects that are well-known. For a green-themed space, combine your walls with decorating ideas using the same color palette.
You can use lighting to add color to your walls if you feel too ambitious. This is where laser lights can be especially helpful, as they flood a room with bright colors and sharp patterns. For example, the BlissLights Ark Aurora Light engulfs your gaming area in peaceful, beautiful blues and gentle oscillating green auroras. This is a great way for you to stay true to your theme and bring home an experience that’s often thousands of miles away.
3. Retro library game room
You can make your classic gaming room into a retro library for a unique twist. Your gaming area should be filled with antique furniture and bookshelves. Then, fill the shelves with books and comics. This theme is truly yours if you can find comics that are from the same universe as your games. If you don’t have enough shelf space, you can always sort old magazines and comics artistically on your vintage side table.
4. Luxurious game room
You can have a gaming experience that goes beyond sitting in a boring chair for hours. Add some luxury items that will make you feel like someone is waiting on you. You can keep snacks and drinks nearby, such as a mini-fridge or snack cabinet that has quick grab bags of chips. You can add luxury to your space by purchasing leather recliners or reading chairs that you might find in a vintage reading area.
5. Budget game room
You can still have amazing things for your game room if you don’t have the funds. You don’t have to spend a lot on your gaming chair, speakers or monitors. However, it is possible to buy a gaming table without breaking the bank. The same goes for decorations. Wall shelves and small fake plants are usually very affordable. There are also certain lights that work well in video games rooms.
6. Interstellar game room
Your favorite games should take you away from the daily grind of life. Your gaming space should also be able to transport you beyond the mundane. This is where an interstellar room design can make a big difference. The space-themed wall art and lighting enhance your gaming experience beyond what you would normally get on Earth.
Start with two to three space pictures or space illustrations for an interstellar design in your game room. Hang a large wall shelf that can hold a solar system diorama. Finally, install indoor laser lights for an intergalactic finish.
Your gaming room will feel floating in space when you have a BlissLights BlissBulb that shines red, green, or blue starry skies. You’ll be able to travel through cloudy blue nebulas with your BlissLights Sky Lite Laser Galaxy Projector. The portable StarPort Laser from BlissLights is a great way to keep your gaming setup sane no matter where you are.
