A gaming desk that fits almost everywhere and does almost everything

The smaller the desk, the more spaces you can place it. A well-designed UTVISNING gaming desk is compact but fully equipped with hooks, a cable management tray, computer tower straps, a monitor shelf and manual height adjustment. It’s made to pair with the comfortable, supportive and adjustable LÖPARBANA gaming chair. Both fit in well with contemporary style but can stand out too.

Welcome to the just-dark-enough side

When it’s time to play, day or night, go for good task lighting that minimises eye strain and creates atmosphere.

Let the glow guide you
Backlighting is a supreme way to illuminate a setup without interfering with screens. From smart LED strips to battery-operated string lights and remote-controlled colour-changing bulbs, there are tons of possibilities in white, RGB or both. VATTENSTEN LED lighting strips can be cut to suit your space and won’t add any heat to your setup.

Gather (and control) other sources
A work lamp can be handy by the side of a desk, especially if you can direct the arm or shade. If your monitor gets daylight, use block-out or room-darkening curtains on nearby windows or doors to cut down on glare and create privacy.

For a nook that’s a natural part of the home

A PC gaming small desk space doesn’t have to be game over for a home’s look. These tips can help make it work.

Maintain the storyline
Create unity between spaces by using the same style, feel and colour palette. Both the nook and the adjoining living area are clearly modern, airy and a bit energetic.

Play with shapes and colours
Both spaces embrace geometric shapes from floor to ceiling – squares and circles, large and small. Curvy furniture, like rounded lamps and LÖPARBANA gaming chair, softens the strict lines. The light beige walls are enhanced by muted tones, and black pops with contrast.

Go big and bold
Instead of maximising a small space and overfilling it, think oversized and unexpected – like DIY shapes behind the desk, checkered flooring and asymmetrical wall storage. These sorts of eye-catchers make an impression.
