Bash out a simple but effective scheme in black and white. White speakers, a white keyboard, and a matching headphone stand keep this design crisp and clear. Using white and black as your base colors gives you a lot of wiggle room to experiment with LED lighting. No matter which colors you use for your lighting, it will always look good. Also, we absolutely love the idea of sitting down to a game at a desk that feels like it belongs on the bridge of a spaceship.

Gaming rooms are fun, recreational spaces that you can decorate any way you want. One idea is to think of a theme and then decorate the room accordingly. After all, it’s really easy to buy gear and just throw it all together, but it really takes creativity and time (and a little inspiration from Displate) to take it a step further with design and personalization.
Some gamers believe that wall art for your gaming room is just as important as the games themselves. If you’re one of them, check out our ever-growing portfolio of officially licensed designs, including collections from your favorite video games such as Hearthstone, The Elder Scrolls, Doom, The Witcher, Overwatch, Fallout, World of Tanks, Cyberpunk, Assassin’s Creed, and more.
