Universal Game Room Furniture Complete Arcade Experience At Home

By Adriana Noton


Technology-based gaming is growing in popularity. Video arcade consoles are not just for kids anymore; adults now dominate the video gaming industry. If the home is already equipped with a good-sized HD television, a premium sound system, and (of course) at least one high-end gaming console, then all that is left is filling the rest of the space with game room furniture.

Video gaming chairs are a central aspect to gamer furnishings. A descent chair must be ergonomically sound. Generally. These chairs rock, but they do so in a different manner than ordinary rockers. Designers develop a gentle rocking motion intended to enhance the visual experience. Most chairs are designed to sit close to the floor, providing the perfect eye-level when placed directly in front of the screen.

Premium loungers have 2:1 speakers installed in the headrest to enhance a gamer's enjoyment. Floor rockers and upright pedestal seats are available equipped with stereo sound systems, making this feature available for all preferences. Some loungers have detachable controller mounts to help the gamer relax. Chairs can be ordered in a wide array of colors, patterns, and upholstery materials, so virtually any designer taste can be coordinated.

Storage is an absolute necessity in media furnishings. Cabinets for organizing system discs and cartridges are required for organization. Wall shelves in modern glass or classic wood designs are available in custom sizes. Some people prefer organization bins designed to double as coffee tables or ottomans. Steamer trunks are available that are expressly designed for organizing and protecting all necessities.

Finding an optimal stand to store and protect the consoles is an ideal way to protect electronics investments. Many modern systems are designed to stand in an upright position, and the furnishings made to accommodate them protect them from dust and insects. The better the console storage, the longer it will last.

An entertainment center is ultimately the focal point of a completed gaming room. Most consoles offer several additional features such as laser guns, custom controllers, adapter wires, and dust covers. These items may become damaged or tangled without appropriate care. A stand should be able to fit the widescreen television first, and then have accommodations for all coordinating pieces. Look for a media center with drawers suitable for storing all console accessories.

For the enthusiast hoping to relive the experience of the old arcades, classic arcade games are becoming very collectible. Definitely a more expensive investment, standing and table-top video machines are available for the home. Usually these items are refurbished, and ready to play like new. Many full-sized pinball machines are making grand comebacks, too. For gamers with a little more to spend, these genuine arcade games can become a central part of the home's design or a fun conversation piece.

Lighting, wall art, and special cables designed for home theaters are all available to complete a lavish home arcade. Surprisingly, most video game furniture is very affordable, despite the advanced technology associated with the equipment. The rocking chairs equipped with surround sound are often less expensive than traditional recliner chairs. Any homeowner dreaming of a full home arcade can make this a reality without too much expense.
