Video Game Room Furniture Complete Arcade Experience At Home

By Adriana Noton


Advanced technology in modern gaming is increasing in popularity. Video game consoles are no longer only for children; adult gamers are becoming the top consumers in the electronic gaming industry. So long as a home already has a premium high definition TV, a surround sound system, and one or more advanced gaming consoles, all the homeowner has left to select is the best video game room furniture.

Special gaming chairs are turning into the best seats in the house. A good quality lounger must be ergonomically designed. Usually gaming chairs rock, but these are not like any other rocking chairs. Gaming lounges are designed to smoothly roll back while cradling the player who is absorbed in action. Most lounges are seated approximately 12" from the floor, although adjustable heights are available. The purpose of the lowered seat is to optimize the visual alignment with the screen.

Premium chairs have stereo speakers embedded in the headrest to enhance the experience. Both floor lounges and upright chairs are available with stereo speakers, so this feature is available to people of either preference. Some lounge chairs even have adjustable mounts for holding the controller. These chairs are available in a wide selection of upholstery choices, so any decor can be matched.

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 a little touch of luxury, a true enthusiast may choose to add one or more full-sized arcade game classics. Once only available for retail establishments, collectors can now purchase fully refurbished standing arcade games, glass-topped bar table games, and full-sized pinball machines. While this is a more costly investment, these specialty items are comparable to the cost of the average TV. Gamers looking for a thorough feel may choose to add one or more arcade games to highlight the room's decor.

Recessed lighting, thematic wall art, and high quality media cables intended for premium home theaters are available from most video game furniture retailers to complete the dream den. Amazingly, most of these furnishings are relatively affordable, even though they often have the most advanced technology. Fine quality rocking game chairs with stereo speakers are usually more affordable than traditional reclining chairs. Homeowners fantasizing about home arcades can now make their fantasies come true, even on a budget.
