SETUP DESCRIPTION

Sometimes less is more. Keep your gaming desk setup simple by sticking with neutral tones, even in your decor. This setup is for those who like meditative spaces, and who stay away for neon and flare. Let your work be the commotion in your life and keep your setup calm and minimal.

While I believe this setup has ‘minimal-desk’ qualities, I like how this designers adds in personal touches through silly plushes and art prints. They keep the space simple, cozy, and fun, like a white chocolate mocha in late autumn.

INSPIRATION RESOURCES

Most of my setups and inspiration come from Pinterest and Instagram. Here, I will break down the room for you and identify the items you need to mimic the space above. This is an affiliate site.

This setup uses some tech that is from a past season, so it is a bit more difficult to purchase, specifically, the monitor and the computer speakers. Though there are more recently released white computer speakers, the ones listed here are very affordable and have good reviews on the websites that sell them.

Furniture & Lighting

Unlike most of the setups in my blog, this designer does not add a ton of different lighting. She does not put an LED strip behind the monitor or along the desk, and sticks with one neon light, a lamp, and LED digital clock. If your room has plenty of natural lighting or if you already have a strong light source in your room, I think this approach would work for you.

NOTE ON COST

There are less expensive alternative options for these items.

The purpose of this blog is to mimic the gaming space in the photo as closely as possible. I zoom in on branding and specific physical details, and I take my time with researching these products to find the items themselves or near exact matches. If the view of the item is obstructed by other objects, I select items that I believe fit the aesthetic of the space.
