Assuming you are fortunate enough to have a game room, how do you light up a game room? You need to know the types of game room, and what functional zones a game room should have before you start. 

The layout of game rooms can be divided into independent and dual-use types based on the spatial situation. Now, let‘s take a look at how to design your game room and light it up. 

When we talk about lighting design, we must consider common lighting, accent lighting, ambient lighting and functional lighting. Certainly, this holds true for game rooms as well. You should choose different LED light strips or LED channels to meet the specific functions of the space and your personal needs.

Independent Game Room

This design is suitable for spacious areas, and there can be dedicated rooms for setting up our game rooms. Generally, this type of game room needs to be segmented into three major functional areas: gaming area, rest area, and display area.

Gaming Area

Gaming area is the core part of the game room, mainly used to meet the owner's needs for gaming and entertainment. It is usually equipped with computer monitors and other devices.

You can also configure additional displays and PS5 game consoles here, or some racing game enthusiasts can also configure steering wheel simulator combinations and other devices. But this requires a very abundant gaming space.

The game table can be customized or the popular automatic lifting table. On the other hand, it also needs to be equipped with ergonomic chairs, which can be adjusted and adapted according to different postures.

Accent Lighting: To create a dynamic and immersive atmosphere, it can enhance the overall visual appeal and aesthetics of the room, contributing to a more engaging and enjoyable gaming experience. One of the most popular methods is to use wall-mounted lights to provide key lighting for the desktop area. 


Display Area

The display area is a secondary function of esports rooms,and the display area usually uses hole boards and partition shelves to store basic equipment used in games, such as game controllers, headphones, and other exhibits and miscellaneous items.

Alternatively, specialized customized display cabinets can be used for storage, and the display cabinet doors here typically use transparent and visible glass doors. The display cabinet usually houses some handmade items, or models that you enjoy collecting. Some sneaker enthusiasts can display their collected sneakers inside.

It also provides ample illumination for users to locate and retrieve specific gaming accessories or collectibles without any inconvenience or difficulty. You can choose a suitable LED channel for your preferred functional LED lights.


Rest Area

The rest area is optional in esports rooms. If the area is sufficient, a rest area can be configured, and tatami or small sofas can be set up in this area to meet the resting function. On the other hand, it can also be used to meet the temporary sleeping demand for your guests.cozy rest area in game room

Common lighting: Such as using down lights, light strips, or linear lights to achieve the effect of floodlighting. Because rest space needs to meet the original functions of resting, and don't ask for too many styles.


Dual-purpose Game Room

A dual-purpose game room is suitable for limited space and cannot be specifically designed as an game-playing space, and it as all other rooms, must meet the spatial functions required for daily living. In this case, the functions of this type of game room can be combined with other spaces. For example, it can be combined with the master bedroom, study, or balcony.
