2. Get good gaming equipment
The next step is to find the perfect gaming equipment. For gamers who play on the computer, at least a monitor, a mouse, a mouse pad, a keyboard and a headset are required. If you're on the console, all you need is a TV and a headset to communicate with your teammates.

Small potted plants are ideal for the desk. If necessary, artificial plants from IKEA can also be used. Plus, glowing pixelpals always look good.
These are small action figures in pixel design that can be placed on the table. As a wall decoration, you can do everything right with classic posters, such as those of your favorite games. If you want something a bit more modern, I can recommend wall decals. Or you attach small shelves to the wall and set up action figures there.
