Level Up with Smart Home

The perfect setup for your gaming room

The gaming room has become an integral part of modern homes. A room that is tailored to your needs creates the perfect atmosphere for an optimal gaming experience. We show you how to set up your gaming room in the best possible way.

Frequently asked questions

  • For your gaming room, you need a powerful gaming PC or console, a high-quality monitor and a comfortable gaming chair and table. Good lighting and a sound system or headset are also a must. With selected decorative elements and neatly laid cables, your gaming area will not only be functional, but also stylish.

  • Dark colors such as black or dark blue look great in your gaming room because they create the right atmosphere and reduce unpleasant screen reflections. With a few lighting accents in red or green using LED, you can create dynamic visual effects and make your gaming experience even more intense.

  • The right gaming lighting includes dimmable LED strips or smart floor lamps that allow you to adjust the brightness and colors depending on your mood and game. Indirect lights behind the monitor or on the walls avoids glare and creates a relaxed atmosphere.

  • Intelligent lighting systems such as LED strips are in demand to improve the ambience. New technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) enable an even more intense gaming experience. AR transfers digital content to the real world so that you can experience the gaming experience in your room. AR allows you to fully immerse yourself in a computer-generated environment.

  • A gaming room should ideally be at least 10 to 15 square meters in size. This gives you enough space for your gaming desk, chair and your setup, consisting of monitors or consoles. This size also offers you space for possible expansions.

    Tip: Even if you don't have a whole room available, you can create a stylish gaming corner. Create the basis with a table and chair and build a pleasant atmosphere with optimal lighting. Add personal decorative elements, such as a neon logo on the wall, to enhance your gaming corner with an individual touch.

The basics for your gaming room

Setting up your gaming room correctly is crucial for the best gaming experience. In addition to the technical equipment, comfort and aesthetics also play an important role. Here you can find out the key points you should consider.

Desk

The desk is the heart of your gaming setup: it should offer sufficient space, be stable and have integrated cable ducts as well as a height-adjustable table top for organization and ergonomics.

Gaming Chair

A high-quality gaming chair provides the necessary support for your back and ensures that it is well supported. Make sure it has an adjustable seat height, armrests and good lumbar support.

Technology

Invest on technology that is tailored to your needs. High-quality monitors with a high resolution and fast response time ensure a smooth gaming experience.

Interior

Choose colors and decorations that match your style and create an inspiring atmosphere. Posters, figurines and other collector's items give your room an individual touch.
