Perhaps that gamer is you? And perhaps you\u2019ve been looking for some ideas on how to put together the dream gaming setup. Well, you\u2019ve come to the right place. I\u2019ve scoured the net for you and have found 25 modern gaming room ideas that achieve a pleasing fusion of technology and style.<\/p>\n<h2>25 gaming room ideas to level up your gaming set up<\/h2>\n<p>Many gaming rooms appear to be a sea of neon, which my teenager tells me is actually just what gamers like. But the gaming set up therefore may not \u2018fit\u2019 with your home\u2019s overall decorating style.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is possible to set up a gaming space that isn\u2019t a complete eyesore. Whether you&#8217;re looking for dedicated gaming bedroom ideas or need to incorporate your gaming setup into a shared living space, we&#8217;ll provide you with ideas that are inviting and attractive for all users, not just the resident gamers.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Show the neon love<\/h3>\n<p>For many gamers it&#8217;s all about the RGB (we&#8217;re talking all those hyper-coloured, flashing neon gaming elements). Gamers love a room full of neon light as it makes their gaming experience that much more immersive.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34516\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34516\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34516\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051859\/chuck-fortner-LFVBohYmtgc-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-neon\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34516\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/LFVBohYmtgc?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Chuck Fortner on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/core.ac.uk\/download\/pdf\/29030308.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Immersion<\/a> is the psychological phenomenon that occurs when a gamer\u2019s consciousness temporarily expands into a different state. It&#8217;s similar to hypnosis or lucid dreaming (now you know why your child finds it so hard to register you screaming \u2018DINNER!\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>From LED light strips to Nanoleaf lighting panels, having lots of light sources may make your energy bill rise. But it\u2019s guaranteed to amplify that immersive experience that gamers crave.<\/p>\n<p>And for a truly immersive gaming room, multiple monitors can\u2019t be beat. In addition to lighting and monitors, don&#8217;t forget to consider other gaming room accessories like gaming chairs, cable management solutions, gaming headsets, LED gaming mouse pads, and gaming-themed wall art to complete your setup.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Give it a white backdrop<\/h3>\n<p>The majority of gaming tech is still black these days, though gaming PCs do often come with glass walls that let you watch it all fire up in RGB when in use. A mix of black and neon that\u2019s so prevalent in gaming setups. So whitewashing the rest of your gaming room or bedroom is a good way to make everything pop while also keeping things feeling spacious and clean.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46391\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215540\/gaming-room-ideas-white-backdrop.jpg\" alt=\"Gaming room ideas - Give it a white backdrop\" width=\"640\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215540\/gaming-room-ideas-white-backdrop.jpg 640w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215540\/gaming-room-ideas-white-backdrop-150x87.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Light up the shelving<\/h3>\n<p>Light features are common to many gaming rooms, and to truly show off the lighting, keeping the rest of the room fairly neutral works well. Sleek lighting effects are great for giving a futuristic vibe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46389\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215541\/gaming-room-ideas-light-up-shelving.jpg\" alt=\"Gaming room ideas - Light up the shelving\" width=\"640\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215541\/gaming-room-ideas-light-up-shelving.jpg 640w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215541\/gaming-room-ideas-light-up-shelving-150x107.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Make it monochrome<\/h3>\n<p>For a more mature gamer, a simple monochrome setup with a beanchair and ottoman looks nice and chill. A simple entertainment unit can suffice to hold the tech. Then just add an array of interior plants to refresh the space and stops things feeling too clinical.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34518\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34518\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051859\/mintelsdotcom-UxMZmcVGW6c-unsplash-2.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-monochrome\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/UxMZmcVGW6c?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by mintelsdotcom on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>5. Add custom shelving<\/h3>\n<p>Many gaming rooms double as a place to display collectibles so having plenty of storage built into the space is important. There\u2019s also lots of room for all the physical paraphernalia of gaming\u2014games, extra controllers and consoles, and so on. Adding\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/downlights-installation\/\">downlights<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/custom-shelving\/\">custom shelving<\/a>\u00a0is both useful and helps highlight favourite collectibles.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Go for grey tones<\/h3>\n<p>For a cool gaming space opt for furniture in grey tones and calming warm grey wall colour. Greyscale gaming rooms can have a cool industrial vibe. Add silver storage baskets under your table for added reflectivity.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Have loads of storage<\/h3>\n<p>Storage is important for gaming rooms because they can so easily fill up with tech clutter. Use a combination of types of cabinets and shelves so there\u2019s plenty of room for display and storage. Keeping cords neatly hidden is another must for a well-designed gaming room.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Go for warm nature tones<\/h3>\n<p>Browns and beiges can be very calming as a base for a gaming room. Adding timber and woven baskets is a nice contrast to the hard metals and plastics that are an inevitable part of gaming.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34514\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34514\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34514\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051900\/roberto-nickson-Gvm2wM3V5PA-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-neutrals\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34514\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/Gvm2wM3V5PA?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Roberto Nickson on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>9. Add graphics to the walls<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, decorating the walls of your gaming room is one way to add instant personality to what can sometimes look like a generic school computer room. Don\u2019t want to tie yourself to particular gaming characters? Another option is to introduce a graphic pattern with some wallpaper, like a 3D effect.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32049\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32049\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32049\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24052710\/gaming-room-graphic-walls.jpg\" alt=\"gaming room graphic walls\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24052710\/gaming-room-graphic-walls.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24052710\/gaming-room-graphic-walls-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32049\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: ELLA DON via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>10. Go wireless<\/h3>\n<p>Who wants a crazy mess of cables in their gaming room? Far better to conceal the wires behind cabinets, and choose wireless controllers and devices where you can. Need help setting up your gaming PCs in the most aesthetically pleasing and practical way including taking care of cabling? Find an expert in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/pc-assembly\/\">PC assembly<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Matte black<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to small\u00a0gaming\u00a0room\u00a0ideas, if you are working with a limited space a trick is to go for a monochrome colour palette. This will have the effect of streamlining everything and making it appear less cluttered.<\/p>\n<h3>12. Pick the perfect chair<\/h3>\n<p>Just like an office chair, a gaming chair needs to be ergonomically designed for long periods of sitting. Some of the adult gaming chairs on the market look more like they belong in a spaceship. But even IKEA make gaming chairs so you can indulge a Scandi aesthetic in your gaming room too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46388\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215541\/gaming-room-ideas-gaming-chair.jpg\" alt=\"Gaming room ideas - Pick the perfect chair\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215541\/gaming-room-ideas-gaming-chair.jpg 640w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215541\/gaming-room-ideas-gaming-chair-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>13. Add non-gaming related wall art<\/h3>\n<p>Even though your space is designed to be used for gaming, perhaps you prefer a more subtle gaming room setup. In that case, you might like to leave gaming references off the walls and replace them with soothing, completely unrelated wall art. Artwork and plants in macrame hangers can help create a peaceful ambience for your gaming room too.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34517\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34517\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34517\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051859\/laura-davidson-leDcT12Igmo-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-gallery-wall\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34517\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/leDcT12Igmo?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Laura Davidson on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>14. Trim the table<\/h3>\n<p>Small gaming room ideas typically involve clever space optimisation as the technology usually takes up a fair bit of space on its own. For example, you can easily save space by having a narrow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/desk-assembly\/\">desk<\/a>, as a large expanse is not really needed when playing computer games.<\/p>\n<h3>15. Add plants and lights<\/h3>\n<p>If you would like to take some of the focus away from your electronics, adding cascading plants to an overhead shelf will create a tranquil aesthetic. And lighting doesn\u2019t have to be all about the LED strips. Some kind of atmospheric lighting will also help with the ambience, even if it\u2019s just a sprinkling of fairy lights.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34522\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34522\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051858\/aviv-rachmadian-vp6udpaQXkU-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-potplants\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/vp6udpaQXkU?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Aviv Rachmadian on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>16. Style it up<\/h3>\n<p>Again, for your more anti-tech gaming station, style it with lush plants and add in rustic timber. Even a mid-century style office chair, to give a sense of maturity and elegance. This is a great idea if your gaming space doubles as a home office, too.<\/p>\n<h3>17. Keep it natural<\/h3>\n<p>Have younger gamers, who are still happy playing educational games on a laptop? Or perhaps you just don\u2019t love a lot of flickering neon all around you. A timber desk and stool keep the gamer more grounded and connected to nature. And the aesthetic works well if the laptop station is intended to blend into a more organic d\u00e9cor style.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34521\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34521\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051858\/howard-bouchevereau-Ql4Y26OsEoY-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-timber\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/Ql4Y26OsEoY?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Howard Bouchevereau on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>18. Make your living room high-tech<\/h3>\n<p>A contemporary living room with lots of modern technology can perform well as a gaming room too. Much of the equipment can be shared between traditional media use and gaming. Big screens can double as gaming monitors and surround sound speaker systems can pump out audio for whatever device or console you wish to use. A comfy modular sofa is perfect for social gaming sessions.<\/p>\n<h3>19. Add some alternative play options<\/h3>\n<p>Give players a chance to get up and stretch their legs with a game of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/pool-table-assembly\/\">pool<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/table-tennis-table-assembly\/\">table tennis.<\/a> Combining your computer or video gaming room with traditional family games means the whole family can get together to play. This may be preferable rather than have your X-Box players off playing solo in their rooms. A mix of L-shaped floor chairs and bean bags (don\u2019t forget one for Fido) ensures the space is super comfy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46386\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215543\/gaming-room-ideas-alternative-play-options.jpg\" alt=\"Gaming room ideas - Add some alternative play options\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215543\/gaming-room-ideas-alternative-play-options.jpg 650w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215543\/gaming-room-ideas-alternative-play-options-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>20. Confine it to one wall<\/h3>\n<p>Gaming rooms need storage space, that\u2019s a given. But rather than clutter up all the walls, why not store everything in one floor-to-ceiling\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/cabinet-assembly\/\">cabinet<\/a>\u00a0or set of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/bookcase-assembly\/\">bookshelves<\/a>? Games, consoles, controllers and other gaming essentials can all be easily retrieved from open shelving, and easily returned. Consider custom shelving to ensure you have the exact configuration for your needs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34515\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34515\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34515\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051900\/laura-davidson-tOL5CZJ74xs-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-minimal\" width=\"640\" height=\"456\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34515\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/tOL5CZJ74xs?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Laura Davidson on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>21. Keep it neat<\/h3>\n<p>Hide all your gaming consoles and equipment in an entertainment unit. You could even conceal your screen in a cabinet for a truly minimal living room gaming setup. At the very least, having it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/tv-wall-mounting\/\">wall-mounted<\/a>\u00a0means it will be less obtrusive and take up no floor or furniture space.<\/p>\n<p>And choosing a gaming chair that complements your existing living room furniture will help it blend in. Especially if you pick one that could pass for an ordinary armchair when not being used for game playing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34520\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34520\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34520\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/24051858\/andre-tan-fGEEJ7Z8cIA-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"gaming-room-white-wall\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/fGEEJ7Z8cIA?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Andre Tan on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>22. Go for industrial chic<\/h3>\n<p>A gaming room doesn\u2019t have to look like a \u201cgaming room\u201d. It could also simply be styled in your favourite decorating style.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you love a rustic industrial look, then decorate with plenty of timber and metal. Add some industrial-style light fittings, expose timber beams or brickwork, or render a concrete wall.<\/p>\n<p>As long as you have the tech you need, and somewhere comfy to sit, it doesn\u2019t have to conform to anyone else\u2019s idea of a gamer setup.<\/p>\n<h3>23. Make it a media room<\/h3>\n<p>When your living room will also serve as a combined media and gaming room, apart from a large screen you\u2019ll also need to find permanent spots for the gaming consoles and all their peripherals.<\/p>\n<p>You can build a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/sound-system-installation\/\">surround sound system<\/a>\u00a0into the wall, while cables and devices can be concealed within custom cabinetry. Find an expert to help configure the best arrangement for your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/uk\/services\/home-theatre\/\">home theatre<\/a>\u00a0or media room.<\/p>\n<h3>24. Set up multiple stations<\/h3>\n<p>If you have gamers of different ages, they probably all want to play different games. And if you prefer they don\u2019t play games in their bedrooms, setting up a dedicated gaming zone is the way to go. The solution is to house them all in the same space but with their own, individual gaming stations. These could have their own consoles, screens, headphones, and individual sofa chairs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46390\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215540\/gaming-room-ideas-multiple-stations.jpg\" alt=\"Gaming room ideas - Set up multiple stations\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215540\/gaming-room-ideas-multiple-stations.jpg 640w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23215540\/gaming-room-ideas-multiple-stations-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>25. Keep it casual<\/h3>\n<p>For a more relaxed living room gaming setup, a pale neutral colour scheme gives everything a fresh, clean backdrop. A backlit screen adds drama to the gaming experience and when there\u2019s no screens on, the room can revert back to being a general, cosy living space.
