What are good gaming room ideas for small spaces?
Published
Short answer: Use height with a high sleeper and desk, choose furniture with built-in storage, keep cables organised and use wall shelves. Measure carefully so doors and drawers still open.
Small spaces demand multi-purpose furniture and careful planning.
Making a gaming setup work in a small room
In a small bedroom, going up is usually the answer. A high sleeper with a desk underneath stacks the sleeping and playing areas into one footprint, while a cabin or mid-height bed can add storage. If the ceiling is too low for a high sleeper, a single bed with a built-in end desk or a compact desk against the wall keeps floor space clear. Wall-mounted shelves and under-bed drawers stop the room filling up with boxes of games and accessories.
Storage that suits a gaming room
Gaming kit is small, numerous and easy to lose. Drawers under the bed suit spare bedding and games you are not playing right now; open shelves near the desk suit controllers and headsets you reach for daily; and a wardrobe built into a high sleeper can free up wall space elsewhere. Look at the storage line on each product page to see exactly what is included, and plan where chargers will live so cables are not stretched across the room.
Keeping cables and kit tidy
A gaming corner quickly fills with power leads, chargers and controllers. Plan where the nearest sockets are before you place the desk or bed, use a surge-protected extension lead rather than chaining adaptors, and run cables along the back of the desk or frame so they are not across the floor or ladder. Desks with drawers, cupboards or shelves give consoles, headsets and games a home, and storage under a bed is handy for things that are not used every day.
