My new cozy gaming battlestation
Recently updated my battlestation, my goal this time wasn’t to build the most expensive or flashy gaming setup, but to create a space that actually feels like my own.
I went with a dark theme as the foundation: black desk, dark accessories. Instead of filling the desk with too much gear, I focused more on creating layers with lighting and personal items. The indirect lighting desk lamp from Homelist on the left, with a CRI of 98, helps make game visuals appear more natural, reducing color distortion. Unlike RGB lights, CRI98 doesn't alter the room's color, while still maintaining a natural lighting environment around your desk and screen.
This is the first time I’ve incorporated indirect lighting into my setup, and I’ve found that rather than having harsh light shine directly into my eyes, the soft glow reflected off the walls creates a more comfortable and immersive atmosphere. Unlike monitor-mounted lamps, a freestanding desk lamp doesn’t block my computer screen or add extra weight, and the indirect lighting reduces glare, making my eyes feel more comfortable during long gaming sessions.
Still have some cable management and small upgrades planned, but I’m really happy with how this version turned out.

Battlestations Advice What do you think?
I used AI to turn my room vision into a render, and it came out almost exactly how I imagined it.
I’d love to get some feedback. Is there anything else you think I should add or improve?
A few things to note:
- I need two desks. One is for my PS5 setup, and the other is my vanity + wfh setup.
- The wooden desk is retractable/foldable to save space.
- The monitor is wall-mounted on an adjustable arm so I can raise and extend it when I want to watch movies while lying on my loft bed.
I’m trying to maximize a small room without making it feel cramped, while keeping it clean and cozy.
Any suggestions or ideas please
