How to Create the Ultimate Game Den

We live in a world where the majority of our offices are now in the house, so that space has become more important than ever.

Home has transformed from being a place of sanctuary to a place of work, family, and play – which is why it’s time to get back to basics.

Your home should be a place where you relax and have fun, and it’s not as hard as you think to do a simple few things to make the change.

Home interiors are an easy way to bring personality into the home, and we’re here to show you exactly how.

In this issue, we’re going to be exploring the world of fun, and how you can recreate the ultimate games den in your own space.

Just imagine a cozy space filled with your favorite games, lavish seating, and all the snacks and drinks you could want – now that’s a games den set to serve plenty. But where do we start?

What features are in a Game’s den?

You need a lot more than just a console or a couple of couches. A games den, man cave, or entertainment space needs plenty of additions to make it feel right. Here’s the starter pack for all the requirements you’ll need in your entertainment space:

1) Gaming setup

It’s not a games room without a gaming setup, which is the most important part of your space. It doesn’t matter if you prefer a console or computer; there are just a couple of essential things you may need:

● Consoles & PCs: Pick your favs! Double-check they are accessible and have a wide range of games for the whole family. Our top tip is to use cable tidies to ensure that the room stays more of an entertaining space than a teenage boys’ playroom – so tidying is KEY!

● Accessories: Spend some time investing in some good quality controllers, headsets, and monitors. In the long run, they truly make a big difference in your gaming experience.

2) Comfortable Seating

One thing that people remember when they come to your space is the seating. Just as you would head to a cafe or your favorite casino and lounge on the leather bar stools or velvet seats, you need to invest in some quality choices for your own home too.

If you’re planning to invite some friends over and spend the night having fun playing blackjack games, either digitally or with a physical set of cards, we’d recommend purchasing the following seating options so you can do so in comfort:

● Gaming chairs

● Couches

● Bean bags

● Bar stools

● Chaise lounges

Decor choices for your games room

So, you’ve got the game-focused additions sorted for your new games room, but it’s time to talk interiors. Personality is what brings your vision to life, so make sure to add subtle colors and decor choices that suit your tastes. Remember, by selecting the right decor, you’ll be setting the scene for the best entertainment hub out of all your friends.

Here’s what you need to get started:

1. Wall art

Whether your room is focused around a casino space, a video game theme, or mimicking your favorite ‘90s arcade – you can get wall art to achieve just this. Transform your walls into a gallery by selecting the following exciting pieces of interior:

● Prints: Scour the internet for prints and posts of your favorite game characters to make your theme run throughout.

● Figurines: Dot shelving units throughout the space to showcase different pieces of art and figurines that fit perfectly into a gaming space. You can choose between vases, books, or even old-school beverage bottles, as they work perfectly to recreate the glitz and glam of the Hollywood casinos.

2. Lighting

The lighting choice you select is one of the most important aspects of your room. Too bright, and you could lean toward it feeling very medical, too dark, and it’s not exciting enough. You need to strike the perfect balance and to do this, you can select the following:

● LED Strip Lights: Why not try LED strip lights on your shelving units or behind your TV? This can brighten up the space, as well as make it feel like a professional games den you might see in the movies.

● Controls: Fitting lights into your man cave means creating an entertainment space that’s meant to be enjoyed. Instead of saturating bright white lights into the space, you can add smart bulbs that can be controlled via your phone. This means, no matter where you are in the space, you can dim the brightness however you please. Movie night? Sorted.

3. Furnishings

Last, but by no means least, is the soft furnishing aspect of your space.

Add in subtle touches of colored pillows, throws, curtains, and rugs to make it feel like home – but remember, pick one theme or trend and stick to it.

Handling this carefully can make even a small room feel bigger and more functional – just what we want in our brand-new space!
