A high-performance, low-stress modern PC gaming room
Work? Not until tomorrow. Time to decompress in this small getaway of a modern PC gaming room. It’s packed with functions and features for an orderly, relaxing retreat. Although it’s a separate room, the ideas can be used elsewhere to create a refined PC gaming setup that’s as pleasing as a victory.
Gaming is the mission and the magnet
A supreme gaming setup starts with the desk, so make sure it works hard. This UTESPELARE desk for gaming is robust and ready for action with a cable management net, manual height adjustment, metal mesh for air flow and two ways to position the table top. Plus, a desk this deep has plenty of room for accessories. Pair it with a sturdy, supportive and super adustable gaming chair like STYRSPEL and you might be unstoppable.
Calibrating an ideal atmosphere
Set the scene for high-scoring success. Room-darkening or block-out curtains prevent glare and keep out heat/seasonal draughts. And FÖRNUFTIG purifies air from dust and pollen (with a gas filter add-on for odours, smoke and chemicals).
Aides for a good environment in a modern gaming guest room
Inviting comfort, down to the details
Create a thoughtful area for others to hang out, even if they don’t game themselves but watch sometimes because they care. Set it up for personal, flexible use with cushions, a footstool and a laptop/side table. A neat, minimalist FRIDHULT sofa-bed on a cotton rug is a cosy spot to unwind and perfect for a pre-boss battle power nap. The EKET cube, also used above the desk to unify the room, works as a side table and a guest’s nightstand.
Smart, sleek style from closed storage
A wardrobe is a winning way to use space and add calm. The straight lines of PAX enhance the sophisticated, modern and clean feel while holding off-season clothes, special occasion accessories and linens. Dark grey FORSAND doors continue the room’s colours, making it seem bigger. The same cohesive, tidy effect comes from grey storage boxes on other open shelves and within the wardrobe.
Contemporary, casual and comfortable
Build the base
Use as much as you can or tone-on-tone of a muted, neutral base colour (grey, black, white). This room mainly has grey, anthracite and black furniture like STYRSPEL gaming chair and VIHALS shelving unit. A matching colour scheme keeps focus on the game and emphasises atmospheric lighting.
Then disrupt!
Break the base with contrasts of warm tones and rich touches like a yellow sofa, walnut-effect storage or an eye-catching lamp. Softness is a subtle (and supportive) way to shake things up, too, with cushions, curtains and a rug.
Boost the contemporary look
Choose furniture that enhances modern style, by finding pieces that are unfussy, straightforward and functional. This room’s furniture is neat, airy and often has visible metal frames.
