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.

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.

Build the baseUse 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 lookChoose 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.
