Digital games are more popular than ever. Video games and desktop computers have become essential for those who love playing with friends and venturing into the virtual world. It's not enough to just have the equipment: true fans of
e-Sports want an exclusive space to play at home. The environments are
similar to those of a home office , but they usually have classic elements of
geek culture , as well as more technological equipment for the composition.
An example of
a gamer's bedroom is the project by architect Cilene Lupi for
CASACOR São Paulo 2023, which explored a more futuristic atmosphere in the décor. With a "
black tunnel " and a gamer chair – which could not be missing in the space –, the architect managed to create a perfect environment for e-Sports enthusiasts.
Dark tones end up taking center stage in this type of space, as they improve the contrast with the colors of the screen and better absorb
external lighting .
This theme was also explored at
CASACOR Minas Gerais in 2017, through the eyes of architect
Renata Ferreira . The space was designed for a teenager, and was inspired by the characteristics of the popular game Minecraft for its decoration. It is possible to see elements characteristic of the gaming universe in the
chandelier and in the laser-cut panel , which simulates the computer circuit.
Fluorescent LED lights help to create a more technological atmosphere, which perfectly matches the atmosphere of a gamer's bedroom, as in the project above where the
strips illuminate the monitor panel and also help to "break up" the darker decor.

Gamer bedrooms often use black paint to create their spaces, but that doesn't mean it's the only color possible. In this project by
designer Bruno Dal Santos , the idea was to balance the shades of black with
light gray and graphite – and the result was harmonious and welcoming.
Having a screen (or more than one) helps bring the power that a gamer's bedroom needs. Including
different lighting on the back of the monitor ensures a more dramatic and realistic look.
