r/gamerooms

Just bought a new house 3 months ago. Decided to use one of the spare rooms to set up a gaming/kickback room for my girlfriend and I. So far it's pretty barbecues, but it's a work in progress.

Considering:

What color to paint?

Lighting ideas?

Furniture ideas? Currently have a small oversized chair, but not sure where to place it in the room. This is a must have for the girl, so she can be nearby.

Shelving ideas?

Any recommendations are well received.

This is my first game room and I'm lost in possibility. Would like to keep it mostly DIY and not budget breaking if possible.

Cycles through random pages of the whole series.

Lots more collecting to be done - added some discreet brackets to the bottom shelf which can actually hold consoles now so I'll be hunting down an OG Xbox. Might add some lighting behind the TV too...

Too many hobbies, not enough room...

This might not be a big deal for people but for me it is. I'm very proud to share my renovated room.

Painted the walls, cleaned the floor thoroughly, new furniture, new laptop setup with dual monitors (and automatic sit/stand desk), new tv setup with studio monitors (retro and new consoles all hooked up with RCA and hdmi splitters), new bed, threw away a lot of stuff, and most importantly for me personally I finally got my game shelves that I always dreamed of (instead of keeping my games in shoeboxes underneath my bed). Only thing left is getting a new chair.

Hi everyone. I am a new member and wanted to say hello. Just saw y’all’s amazing gaming rooms! Just wanted to share my humble gaming set up (loft) I have in my apartment. If you have any tips on how I can improve or any thoughts.

One day I’ll have something like so many of y’all’s rooms! I’m amazed.

EDIT: I can’t thank you folks enough for the amazing feedback. I always thought it was a lame game room and not at all compared to the amazing ones you see on here / Pinterest. But I do enjoy spending time here and looking at my little games and toys. Thank you so much for validating it! 🩶

Made this for gaming room doors. What do you think?

Hi !

New updates for my gaming room ! Pretty happy about it 🥹

Everything is ready to play:

NES, Genesis, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Wii, VCR, Dvd-recorder are connected to the CRT Sony Trinitron 27 inch over a 8 ports selector that I bought on Amazon, working like a charm!

Xbox360 and Wii U are connected to an HDMI selector then to my LCD.

Switch, Switch 2 and Xbox Series X are missing from the family picture, they are connected on the 75inch upstairs.

I made the count and I have 15 consoles in my house lol

NES, Gameboy, Genesis, GBA, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, DSi, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, Switch, Xbox Series X, Switch 2.

Only SNES is missing ... maybe soon!

Dreamcast lightgun is on the way. I can't wait !

I’m getting a new desk and I want to revamp this room. any tips? ( yes it’s a little messy)

I do repairs so i have a lot of extra stuff right now, a bunch of tvs im going through and all the consoles on the table are repairs

i appreciate everyone’s good vibes. it’s all love always <3

a work in progress! but main tv has my ps5 and where i watch shows.. small tv is for other ps5 and switch 2 console / old xbox..

Added some things, a new smaller CRT and a game tower to hold some consoles next to the big boi HD CRT. Think I’m about maxed out on what I can get in here.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on here and I’m looking for some advice. I have a dedicated game/collection room (attic) and want to maybe add some better sound (btw if you want to see my whole room tell me then I’ll post some more pics in the correct tread). Currently I mostly play games using different headsets. But I am debating if I should add some speakers to the setup. The thing is the room has sloping walls and make it difficult to add more then just two speakers that will sit on the media cabinet on both sides. Will you say it will be a good option to add them or just keep using headphones. I also need to add a amp or receiver that can drive them but a surround receiver is a bit of a overkill, if I would only use stereo so anyone can give there opinion it will be much appreciated. Thanks all.
