This gaming station sticks to a minimalist theme but makes it inviting. The use of textured wood for the tabletop warms up the ambiance. The table is wall-mounted, which frees up floor space and keeps the setup sleek. A compact keyboard and mouse pair with the widescreen curved PC, while headphones are mounted on a stand. Artwork on the wall behind the setup creates visual interest while keeping the color palette laid-back.

2. Add a Trestle Desk for a Futuristic Space

Designer:Alexandro Lens

Desks can run expensive, but there are beautiful budget options, too. And this futuristic engineering gaming setup shows us how. The trestle desk and swivel chair make a stylish pair that won’t bring the bank. Simultaneously, the desktop holds necessary accessories while keeping the overall look uncluttered, partly thanks to the desktop drawers that keep things hidden from sight. A special mention for the sleek keyboard, adding a modern touch to the space. The shelves above the setup provide room to tuck away essentials in boxes — and provide space to showcase a beautiful vining plant.

3. Incorporate a Pop of Color

A minimalist white gaming setup doesn’t have to be boring. Think a bright red armchair dropping in a striking designer statement. This piece retains a touch of white and has sleek black legs to stick to the minimalistic vibe. This wonderfully pairs with the wooden desk, compact keyboard, and elegant black table lamp. Finally, the artwork keeps the walls from feeling bland.

4. Triple the Screens in Your Minimalist Setup

Sophisticated decorative items can balance out your gaming setup. For example, artwork and animal figurines. From the large vining plant to the small cactus, the potted plants of varying sizes add visual interest. Also, gotta love that triple-screen setup with a portrait rotation to cover all bases.

5. Consider an Acrylic Computer Case

Designer:mekunotech

One of the most effective ways to make your minimalist white gaming setup welcoming is by adding the Scandi style. In this setup, the plentiful use of wood stays true to Scandinavian origins. Not to forget the large window — paired with sleek blinds — that allows light to enter, as well as the potted plants. Both much appreciated in the Scandi style.

7. Soundproof the Setup

Tone down the reverb. Two-tone acoustic foam panels form a diamond pattern here, so not only will they control the noise but they look pretty great too. And there’s always room for a large potted plant, provided you have a vacant corner next to your gaming setup. Finally, a sleek white table lamp provides ample task lighting for work hours.

8. Go Big on Ergonomics

Designer:Geeky Minded

A minimalist white gaming setup should be good with ergonomics. Think lots of closed storage space keeping things you don’t need at hand hidden. The desk facing the window boosts a great view. It also minimizes glare on the monitor. The bright orange chair adds a pop of color, as do the green plants.

9. Make it Sophisticated

If you’re in the market for something more sophisticated, add a stylish light solution like a sleek lamp. This adds a modern and futuristic touch to the space. The freestanding chest of drawers provides storage space. And, don’t forget your wine glass, dah-ling.

10. Add Soft Illumination

When stakes are high, set the lights low. Ambient lighting glows softly around this desk to keep focus where it matters. The desk legs double as storage space. And the ergonomic chair provides back support when gaming. The overall palette is an affair of minimalist white — extending to the gallery wall, the desk, and the accessories.

11. Make Room for a View

Designer:acremona22

If you’ve got a nook with a window, leverage the space to create your gaming setup. This double screen set up tags on the end of the window view, which allows natural light to get past the corner monitor setup by day, and the city lights to sparkle by night. Regardless of the hour, the sleek floor lamp is there to provide illumination.

12. Let Texture Make a Statement

The futuristic vision for gaming setups sees a burning red horizon, subtly adding color to an otherwise white and minimalist space. We like to call it making your own sunset.

18. Add Cool Hues of Blue

This setup can easily be mistaken as a cool blue one. It is, in reality, full parts white; the lighting tricks the eye into perceiving it as a play of white and ice blue. Mimicking a snapshot from one of your favorite Northern destinations.

22. Consider a Loft Setup

Give your gaming room a loft look by repurposing a loft. This can add the industrial effect to any nook, cranny or sloping ceiling. Additionally, this engineering setup makes sure it goes big on functionality, even if that means a tad bit more accessories. Still, the double screen and red-and-white keyboard take center stage. This is complemented by the ergonomic chair.
