10 Gaming Setup Ideas and How to Create the Perfect Gaming Space

by Moose Mady on

Elevate your gaming experience by creating the perfect aesthetic for your gaming space. Whether a casual gamer or a professional streamer, your setup can impact your gaming experience greatly. Many popular gamers are taking their gaming setup several notches ahead with some brilliant ideas. You, too, can create a unique setup for yourself.

Here are five easy tips to level up your gaming space.

1. Pick a theme and a color scheme

A theme will help you craft your gaming space's overall look and feel. You can choose between retro, comic, automotive, classic, uber-modern, funky, among many other themes. Adding theme-based posters can give you the distinct vibe you're looking for. 

A well-thought-out color scheme is the simplest and most effective way to personalize and amp up your gaming space. The best way to do so is by choosing a single primary color and using other accent colors to create a distinct visual appeal. However, try not to add too many colors as it may create a non-uniform look. 

2. Clear up the clutter

A chaotic, haywire maze of wires on your gaming desk can be an eye sore. Not only does it make the space cluttered, but it also draws focus from the game screen. Create a clear, sleek gaming space using desk cable trays or cable ties to make a single, neat bundle instead of multiple loose wires. 

You can also use a wireless mouse, keyboard, controllers, and joysticks for a cleaner and aesthetic look. Use floating shelves or hidden storage spaces to store your gaming accessories and extra cords.  

3. Amp up the décor

Give your gaming room a unique, personalized look by choosing décor that reflects your personality. You can add your favorite or theme-based collectibles, miniature toys, posters, wall art, and other cool stuff to create a gaming space you love. Poster Dept has a wide range of posters based on distinct themes. You can also create a poster featuring your art or preferred graphic with us at the Poster Dept. 

4. Install gaming lights

Gaming room lights can instantly add life and vibrance to your setup. Depending on your taste, you can use warm wall scones, neon lights, or colorful square tiles. You can also sync it with your system's game sound effects or music to take it a step ahead. 

Proper lighting and sound will create the perfect gaming ambiance in your space and be a massive step towards creating your dream game room. 

5. Choose comfortable seating

A great gaming machine, perfect accessories, and the best collection of games can all go to waste if you don't invest in a comfortable chair. A comfortable chair is one of the most overlooked aspects of a great gaming setup. 

Gaming marathons, all-nighters, and back-to-back tournaments can be overwhelming without a proper seating arrangement. When you have a comfortable chair with solid lumbar support and an ergonomic design, you not only perform better but also don't tire your body quickly. 


Now that we know how to create a great gaming space, let's discuss some unique gaming setup ideas and themes.

1. Futuristic Gaming Setup 

Create an ultra-modern, futuristic gaming setup with all-white furniture, machines, and accessories. Add soundproof padding and choose a comfortable, sleek chair to complete the futuristic look. Putting up spaceship or robot posters can be a great way to add uniqueness to your setup. All set aboard! 

2. Go Green Setup

Need more nature in your setup? Add vibrance and life to your gaming space with the beauty of green. Use a light or neutral shade as your space's primary color, from white to pale brown, pastel pink to purple; you can choose any color. Use small and medium-sized planters, green posters, and some small green elements to add a pop of green that lights up your game room. 

3. Triple Monitor Modern Setup

With triple monitors, you can easily create a unique, modern setup to enhance your gaming space's cool quotient. LED strips can lighten up your space and add to your triple monitors' sleek look. Adding hints of black with gaming accessories like a mouse and keyboard to an all-white setup is a great way to execute this setup. 

4. Vintage Brown Setup

Who says a gaming space always has to exude a modern and futuristic vibe? Go old-school and add a unique charm to your gaming space with the vintage brown setup. Combine the elegance of whites and earthiness of browns to create a cozy, vintage setup. Add botanical prints, vintage collectibles, or posters featuring vintage art to complete the look and transcend back in time! 

5. Star Wars Setup

What can be cooler than a gaming setup with a Star Wars theme? Use the black and white colors to achieve this cool look. Create this setup with a sleek desk, white peripherals, and a white PC. Stormtrooper posters and Star Wars collectibles will add more personality to this setup. This setup can also double up as a father-son game room. 

6. Dreamy Pastel Setup

Attention, girl gamers! Gaming setups can be dreamy and cute, too. Create this setup with pastel shades of pink and blue with a white backdrop. Matching headphones, a digital clock, and simple, artistic posters can add a fun and girly vibe to any gaming space. 

7. Car-Themed Man Cave Setup

Want to create a space that is far off from the modern, digital world of gaming? Get the perfect contrasting look for your gaming space with a wood desk, warm lighting, and décor pieces with a wooden finish. You can add different types of plants to create an earthy feel. 

9. Anime Setup
