In general, themed gaming rooms are extremely popular these days. For example, soccer lovers who play online casino titles like 11 Champions have team posters and club-themed cushions in their gaming rooms. Likewise, fans of the Pokémon franchise and games like Pokémon Legends: Z-A have Pikachu carpets and Chansey curtains to complete their designs. For many Star Wars fans who dabble in products like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, they also want to achieve a similar look and feel in their gaming havens.
So, without further ado, below are some useful tips to help you nail your Star Wars-themed gaming room design.
Pick the right space
First and foremost, before you embark on your build, you need to ensure you have the right space to work with. You’ll need enough room to fit all of your gaming equipment, shelf space to store your various accessories, space to fit in sofas, chairs, and the like, and a room that isn’t too bright or too noisy. Ultimately, it needs to deliver in all areas here otherwise you could be disappointed further down the line when you’re struggling to combat lighting issues or can’t fit all your desired furniture in.
Wall art always works well
Now, with your gaming space chosen, it’s time to consider a variety of design features. If you’re keen to give your designated gaming space a Star Wars-themed facelift, then wall art is a fantastic thing to do. This cheap and cheerful inclusion won’t cost an arm and a leg either. You can opt for murals of space battles or famous characters from the franchise, while some fans display framed posters of ships and some iconic scenes.
Decide on a color scheme
Alongside the wall art you’re potentially going with is a distinct need to choose the right colour scheme. A lick of paint can make a huge difference to any space, and while Star Wars fans can choose from a large range of colors, primary colors like black and grey are popular. Alongside some metallic tones, red, blue, and green can brighten up your room. Whether you want the sandy tones of Tatooine or the bright stars of the cosmos, your chosen color scheme will really bring your room to life.
Star Wars furniture is a must
While it might be a tad expensive to fill your gaming room with an array of Star Wars-themed pieces of furniture, a few should more than suffice. There are so many avenues you can go down here, with people creating sofas, tables, and chairs. If you’d rather purchase a readymade Star Wars-themed item, though, then there are some fantastic custom pieces out there. From a Millennium Falcon cockpit desk seat and a Stars Wars director’s chair, to a Han Solo-themed table and a Star Wars sofa, the options are vast.
