This month we will be revamping the upstairs bunk room/flex space. The boys have run of the majority of the area, which they use for gaming, making videos, jam sessions, and generally acting like teenage boys. Hubs and I hang out with them a fair bit, as well, so we need it to serve multiple purposes, as I also have a small sewing space, and #2 has his puppet making counter up there also. It’s a wide open space with very little structure built in, so we need to add some storage, seating, and just fun decor too, so it feels like an enjoyable place to be.
I have been scouring Pinterest specifically, and the internet in general, to find appropriate furnishings to complete the project, on a reasonable budget, that will stand up to a lot of abuse, and be flexible, too. I feel like so much gaming decor has been completely played out, so if we go that route, it needs to be highly curated, so as not to come across cheesy. First let’s start with the floors. Right now, the floors are wood and although we do have a throw rug, it really needs replaced. Here’s what I’ve found, so far.
These are perfect for our game room rug, and furniture for our white and gray room. Now we need some accents. The boys are here for these Kontrol Freek Lights. They’ve been looking at them for a while.
Because the boys all play instruments, they spend a lot of time hanging out practicing together. We have a shortage of available seating right now, so I am looking for a few musician’s stools and a couple of new mics.
We have a plethora of geekcentric pictures to hang, plus various comic book/gaming/pop culture merchandise to set about, so with a few floating shelves and some great lighting, our little game room should be perfect for us.
With the turn of the year comes a turn in style, and we believe this is our signature game room style. Do you have any rooms in your house you plan to remodel this year? Did any of these products, perchance, spark you own interest in a room re-do? Show us any pictures you take on Instagram at #canigetaramen! Find us on FB and Pinterest @canigetaramen.food.blog!
