When square footage is tight and style matters, putting together a gaming setup that’s equal parts functional and beautiful can feel like a grind. But levelling up your space doesn’t have to mean sacrificing good design.
More gamers are proving you can balance high-performance gear with a clean, cohesive interior. Whether you’re pulling late-night raids, streaming for your squad, or just zoning out with your console, these 10 latest picks will help you build a home setup that plays hard, and looks good doing it.
1. Razer Enki Gaming Chair
For: All-day comfort with grown-up gamer aesthetics
The Razer Enki Gaming Chair series is what happens when Razer dials down the flash and turns up the ergonomics. With a built-in lumbar arch and plush, wide seat base, this chair is made for long hauls, whether you’re in deep strategy mode or queuing for your next co-op.

2. Omnidesk Ascent
For: Sit-stand play and peak desk organisation
An adjustable desk that lifts with you—literally. With programmable height presets and seamless cable management built-in, Omnidesk’s latest evolution makes going from work to play almost too easy.
→ Pro tip: Elevate your monitor to eye-level for ergonomic gains.
3. Alienware 34″ Ultrawide Monitor
For: Expansive visuals and multitask mastery
The ultrawide screen is the holy grail for immersion, and Alienware’s curved panel nails it with a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. It’s wide enough for split-screen play and post-editing workflows, all without pixel lag.
→ Bonus: Makes even your spreadsheets look epic.
4. Razer BlackWidow V4 Mechanical Keyboard
For: Tactile clicks and just the right kind of flash
Satisfying keystrokes meet smart design. With per-key RGB lighting and media controls, it adds just the right amount of flair without turning your desk into a disco. Pair with a coiled USB cable for that retro-cool finish.
→ Try green switches if you love that tactile feedback.
5. Nanoleaf Lines or Shapes
For: Customisable mood lighting that looks like art
Wall-mounted, smart-controlled, and full of personality—Nanoleaf’s latest LED panels are modular and voice-activated, syncing to your gameplay or winding down with ambient hues.
→ Think: cyberpunk glow meets architectural detail.
6. Philips Hue Smart Light Kit
For: Lighting scenes at the touch of a button (or voice)
Gaming into the night? Create a scene. Literally. The Hue system lets you shift between modes—Focus, Game Time, Chill—so your room always matches your mood. Also works brilliantly for stream setups.
→ Bonus: Syncs with Spotify and Razer Chroma for cross-platform glow-ups.
7. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Headset
For: Next-level sound and neighbour-friendly sessions
Crystal-clear audio with active noise cancelling and a retractable mic. It’s made for precision in shooters and podcasts alike, while the design stays low-profile enough for hybrid work Zooms.
→ P.S. Your neighbours will thank you.
8. Secretlab Magnus Metal Desk
For: A sleek, clutter-free zone with zero cable spaghetti
This desk system lets you magnetically lock in a headphone hanger, cable sheaths, and even custom desk mats. It’s the Marie Kondo version of your childhood LAN setup—and it looks good even when you’re not gaming.
→ Also works as a stunning WFH command centre.
9. Sonos Beam (Gen 2)
For: Seamless sound for movies, music, and gaming alike
Compact yet powerful, the Beam gives console players and PC users an acoustic upgrade without taking up precious space. Its sleek design blends in, but the sound? Anything but quiet.
→ Works with Dolby Atmos for that cinematic boom.
10. Custom Mousepads + A Statement Rug
For: Style underfoot and at your fingertips
From oversized gaming mats to conversation-starting rugs, your floor (and desk) deserve just as much attention. Consider softening up the tech edge with textures that balance out the electronics—think cosy, not chaotic.
→ Look to local labels like Aftershock or dreamcore for custom designs.
