Every gaming enthusiast knows that the perfect gaming bedroom isn’t just about looking cool – it’s about creating a perfect space that feels right for your specific gaming style and, crucially, your favourite games.

Whether you’re carving out a space in your bedroom, converting your office or setting up a spare room, follow our simple tips for upgrading your gaming bedroom setup. With the help of accessories, lighting, and a few key furniture pieces, you’ll escape into a new quest in no time.

Let us inspire your new gaming environment.

Start your quest for a gaming room layout

First things first, let’s talk floor plan for your gaming room.

According to our latest Sleep Survey, 12% of Brits regularly game in the hour before bed, so it’s hardly surprising that gaming bedrooms are super popular right now.

But your perfect setup ultimately depends on how you like to game. Is gaming a full-time hobby or a way to wind down before catching some Zzzs? Do you prefer to power on during the day or in the evening? Answering these questions can help you determine whether your gaming bedroom should be your master suite or spare room and whether a gaming desk or gaming bed is better suited to you.

We know gaming desks are all the rage, so let’s cut out the middleman, say “so long” to the living room – sorry, sofa! – and explore gaming bedroom ideas.

Play, sleep, and repeat with gaming bed ideas

A gaming bed could be ideal if you love relaxing with your favourite game before bed or immersing yourself in total escape before drifting off.

If your guest room doubles as an office, this could be the perfect place to put a gaming bed if your other half isn’t a fellow gamer. But be warned: once you’ve seen our magnificent Nocturna bed in collaboration with X Rocker, you’re unlikely to want to say goodbye when it’s game over…

Equipped with everything you need to game in comfort, the Nocturna includes a state-of-the-art TV hidden away in the footboard and plenty of storage to keep your equipment close at hand. The ultimate gaming session can begin with headset holders on either side of the bed, a media tray for your favourite console, and easy-access USB-C ports.

For an extra special gaming experience, you can add a Sleepmotion base. This innovative option features adjustable areas for your back and feet, so you’re in complete control of how you play, lounge, and sleep. Zero-gravity technology provides extra comfort.

Modern gaming bedroom ideas

The best thing about having your own gaming bedroom setup is making it completely your own, a reflection of your favourite way to pass the time.

Let’s explore modern gaming bedroom ideas. Whether you prefer dark and moody monochrome or bright and vibrant colours, try to highlight key areas of the room, like your desk or bed.

One important decision to make is whether to buy white or black furniture. Gaming chairs and desks tend to be primarily one of these two colours, so choosing one and sticking to it is important to create a cohesive space. White furniture can open up the floorplan for smaller rooms, while black can add cosiness to bigger bedrooms. Of course, many options include fun pops of colour, too!

If you’re creating a gaming space within an existing bedroom, don’t be afraid to use paint and décor to mark out that area as your own. From bold geometric prints to neon-inspired accents, immerse yourself in your favourite games to find inspiration. Add paint, wallpaper or shelving to the wall around your space to create a cosy, immersive feeling that you can associate with your favourite hobby.

Epic bedroom lighting ideas

Another great way to bring a space to life is lighting – any serious gamer will know that glaring overhead lighting can be the mortal enemy of an immersive gaming session.

LED lighting strips can snake around desks, under shelves, or behind monitors to create an atmospheric glow. And if you really want to make a statement, add neon lighting. A custom sign of your gamertag or a symbol from your favourite games will look fantastic! You could also experiment with blue neon lights for a futuristic vibe, or a spectrum of vibrant colours to match your setup. Sounds cool, right?

For the ultimate atmospheric experience, our brand-new Quantum gaming bed features built-in lighting and headboard backlighting – perfect for epic gaming marathons!

Gaming bedroom ideas for small rooms

Short on space? There’s still plenty of inspiration to discover with our small gaming bedroom ideas…

We know that more is more when it comes to gaming – the latest release, a new headset and that customised controller you have to have… so storing it all in a smaller space can naturally be a challenge.

For narrower spaces, adding floating shelves is a great way to maximise vertical space without impacting your room’s footprint. Bring your headboard to life by surrounding it with rows of shelves stacked with your favourite memorabilia or gaming art.

Our Nocturna bedside table is the perfect accompaniment to your gaming setup. It features built-in RGB lighting, a Bluetooth speaker for an immersive surround sound experience, and a wireless charging pad – ideal for staying charged without the clutter. The drawer and additional storage shelf allow you to stack your essential titles and organise your gaming retreat.

Mini gamer paradise inspiration

Tots, teens and in-betweens – everyone loves a good game. Discover gaming bedroom ideas for boys and girls alike.

A kid’s gaming bedroom is fantastic for letting your little one’s imagination run wild. Let them get involved by choosing their favourite colours, prints, and places to display their favourite memorabilia.

It’s super easy to create a gender-neutral space by sticking to monochrome tones, which suits our popular Anderson XL gaming bed perfectly. Combining a fun high sleeper with a spacious desk crying out for a techy setup, this bed makes the most of your kid’s space with the raised sleeping area. Available in grey or white, it’s endlessly versatile to suit cute and colourful gaming bedrooms or dark and mysterious dens.

Create the ultimate gaming station for your little player with the Garrison high sleeper from our exclusive X Rocker collection. With a raised sleeping area, built-in desk and under-bed chill-out area with a media unit, this innovative design maximises floor space with maximum cool factor. The desk is super handy for homework, too (don’t tell your little one we said that!).

Speaking of desks… our Battalion gaming desk deserves a mention too. It’s got plenty of space for a multi-monitor set up, a handy drawer and a built-in PC tower area.

For teenage gaming bedroom ideas, the Marshall gaming bed is sure to be the envy of all with its sleek charcoal grey look and red carbon fibre detail. Built-in LED lighting adds an instant atmosphere, and multiple storage areas tucked away keep even the most extensive video game collections tidy. The ample desk space easily fits consoles, monitors, and all the accessories your mini gamer can think of! Achievement unlocked.

Power up your palette with gaming room colour ideas

Bold colours are your secret weapon for transforming a room. For a truly immersive gaming environment, you can’t go wrong with them.

Think deep blues, electric purples, or even a fiery red accent wall to pump the adrenaline. These can also inject serious personality, especially when paired with contrasting elements.

Of course, black walls are a classic choice for gaming rooms for a reason… they make screen visuals pop. But don’t feel limited to them! If you prefer a calmer vibe, neutral colours like greys, whites, or even muted greens can provide a fantastic backdrop, allowing your tech and gaming decor to take centre stage. Whatever palette you choose, remember, the key is to choose shades that make you feel ready to conquer.

Bonus level… customise your gaming bedroom

Whether you’re a fan of space adventures, fantasy worlds, or retro games, themed decor can add a personal touch to your gaming bedroom.

Now for the fun part – accessorising! Think awesome wall art pieces – framed posters of your favourite games, concept art, or even abstract designs in your chosen bold colours. Here are some must-haves to enhance your gaming experience:

• Monitor or TV
• Ambient lighting
• Gaming headset
• Extra controllers
• Gaming mouse
• Mechanical keyboard
• Webcam (this is only needed if you’re interested in streaming)
• Microphone
• Monitor stand
• Game storage solutions
• Screen cleaner
• And perhaps a mini fridge for drinks and snacks to keep you refreshed during long gaming sessions?

Game over, for now…

Whether you’re conquering virtual worlds, strategising with friends, or simply unwinding after a long day, your newly designed space will soon be your ultimate gaming sanctuary.

Keep exploring new ideas, updating your gear, and perfecting your setup. The world of gaming is ever-evolving, and so should your gaming space.
