Your ergonomic desk should be enhanced with details often overlooked: cable management and lighting. These two elements are the secret behind a tidy, modern, and comfortable setup.
Hide cables, highlight the beauty of your setup
Annoyed by scattered cables? Not only do they look messy, but tangled cords can also be hazardous. The solution lies in smart cable management!
Simple fixes, such as cable boxes or under-desk nets, can neatly hide cables from your computer, lamp, or phone charger.
IKEA’s rolling storage rack is specially designed to make organizing cables and accessories easier and neater. It comes with elastic straps, hooks, brackets, and side compartments. The perforated side panels also provide good ventilation to prevent overheating.
Check out the results! Your desk will instantly look cleaner, more professional, and free from visual distractions that can break your focus.
Adjust lighting for visual effect and eye health
Playing in a dark room with only a bright screen can quickly strain your eyes. That’s why proper room lighting is essential.
Use your monitor’s glow or add IKEA LED strip lights behind it. This additional glow acts as bias lighting, reducing the contrast between the screen and the surrounding area.
This not only helps reduce eye strain, especially during long gaming sessions, but also enhances the overall aesthetics of your setup. The right lighting creates a more immersive, focused atmosphere and makes your room look cooler, too!
Essential supporting components for the ideal gaming setup
An ergonomic desk, neat cables, and proper lighting are just the beginning. To truly complete your dream setup, you’ll need a few other key supporting components.
A gaming chair that supports spinal health
Long gaming sessions often mean sitting for hours. Poor posture can trigger health problems. That’s why you should pair your desk with an ergonomic IKEA gaming chair!
Choose one that supports your spine, comes with armrests, and provides neck cushions. A supportive chair ensures you can dive into exciting games without worrying about future aches or pain.
Make sure to explore and test several chair models to find one that best suits your posture. As a reference, IKEA’s gaming chair collection is designed for maximum comfort and to help prevent back pain.
Decorative accents and smart storage
A minimalist setup doesn’t mean sacrificing style. In fact, smart decorative accents and storage solutions are key to maximizing space while keeping it organized.
Use IKEA wall shelves to display your favorite character figurines. Add storage boxes to safely keep controllers or other small accessories.
A headset is a must-have for focus. Keep it tidy and in good condition by mounting a headset hanger so it doesn’t clutter your desk.
Isn’t it much easier to keep everything organized and within reach? Your setup will be not only multifunctional but also visually appealing. Perfectly reflecting your personality as a modern gamer.
