It’s hard to pinpoint the exact time in history when gamer colors became equated with predominantly dark colors overlaid with some blinding neon lighting. It definitely reinforces the stereotype of gamers thriving in their dark rooms, illuminated only by their computer monitors and their RGB-lit gaming rigs. Of course, that couldn’t be further from the truth, as gamer tastes are as diverse as their personalities and preferences.
Gaming rooms, whether for video games or pool, are also often portrayed as basement dens deprived of natural lighting. This interior design concept, however, challenges those stereotypes with a room that’s clearly meant to gather like-minded gamers while also offering a welcoming space to non-gamers with its modern looks and bright atmosphere.

A ground-level room, window walls, and plenty of free space define this vibrant modern room design. If not for the obvious placement of pool tables, gaming consoles, and gaming-centric decorations, you might even mistake this as a normal living space or even an open office. It’s a room that’s designed not just for simply playing games but offering comfort and breathing space, literally and figuratively.
Despite the bright ambiance, it also uses that common gaming convention of having neon-colored lights that would have normally given a dark room a cyberpunk vibe. In this case, however, the neon lights that form the outlines of controller face buttons give a more joyful character to walls and dividers, shedding off the gritty punk style. The rest of the room uses tube lighting, another staple of gamer aesthetic, but sticks to a single warm white color that gives, well, warmth to the place.
The gaming room also uses earthy tones like brown and red, further adding to that inviting warmth. When the games you play involve a lot of long sticks, sharp corners, and rough action, the room’s contrast brings a unique dynamic that makes the place more memorable. If this were a commercial gaming hub or a company facility, it would easily become a notable favorite. There are also some greens sprinkled here and there, both from living plants as well as the pool table, completing the color harmony.
This Entertainment Zone interior concept goes beyond offering a functional gaming space. It is warm, inviting, and comfortable, a reminder that gamers are also humans who need such touches, subtle as they may be. It doesn’t take anything away from the gaming experience, and you can easily install blinds to bring back that darkness if needed, but instead adds value to the human experience that goes beyond just gaming.
