A Throne of Games: How I Transformed My Shed into a Gaming Sanctuary

Last week, I was running a tabletop role-playing game in my dining room when one of my players pulled a pair of shorts from his bag and went to the bathroom to change into them. When I asked why, he told me that my house is always just too damn hot. Sigh. It’s one of those things I can’t change—how my family prefers to set the thermostat and how well-insulated the house is. But it bugged me to think that my players were sitting in mild (or possibly severe) discomfort whenever we gathered around the dining room table for a game.

That moment got me thinking: Maybe it’s time to have a dedicated gaming space. One that I can tailor to any scenario, one that can be the heart of my gaming world, where I have full control over the atmosphere, the layout, and, most importantly, the comfort. There's a shed in my garden that has recently ceased its function as a hamster sanctuary and is now sitting idle. Prime real estate for a gaming space, don’t you think?

Creating My Ideal Gaming Space

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. My vision? A place that not only provides comfort but also highlights my passion for tabletop games.

Here’s what I needed from my gaming space:

• Comfortable Temperature: Adjustable heat, air flow, and good lighting.
• Storage: A place for all my board games, rulebooks, and accessories, where everything is easy to reach and beautifully displayed.
• Ambiance: I want this to be a place where the atmosphere reflects the games we play—fun, cozy, and inspiring. Every inch of this space should scream gaming sanctuary.

Enter BoxThrone: The Ultimate Gaming Storage Solution

As I began searching for the perfect storage solution, I realized I had no interest in the usual options. Shelves meant for DVDs, CDs, or books were not going to cut it. They’re often too small, cramped, and not designed to hold my ever-growing collection of board games.

Then, I came across BoxKing Gaming and their BoxThrone system—and I knew I had found the answer. The BoxThrone is the perfect modular board game shelf that not only fits my needs but also enhances the aesthetic of my space.

 

Why BoxThrone is the Perfect Fit for My Gaming Shed

Here’s why I’m so thrilled with the BoxThrone:

Modular Design for Customization: The BoxThrone comes in various sizes and styles, allowing me to mix and match frames and shelves. I’m planning on going with Bravest Brown for the frame and Rebellious Red for the shelves. This combination will complement the wood-panel walls of my shed, giving the whole space a cozy, rustic feel.

Accessibility: One of the biggest frustrations with my previous storage setup was that I could never easily access my games. They were tucked away at the top of a wardrobe or shoved into a tight space under the stairs. The BoxThrone solves this problem entirely—my games will be on full display, easily accessible from any angle. I’ll no longer have to bend down or stretch up to get my favorite games.

Durability & Safety: Many of the shelves I looked at were made of flimsy materials that couldn’t withstand the weight of my heavy game boxes. The BoxThrone’s metal and acrylic shelves are strong and durable, and because they’re not made of glass, I don’t have to worry about cleaning or the risk of breaking.

A Side-by-Side Comparison: Why BoxThrone Beats the Competition

When I compared BoxThrone with the mass-market options available on Amazon and Ikea, the differences became painfully clear.

Capacity: While DVD or book shelves only fit a handful of games and usually leave them stacked on their sides, the BoxThrone can fit over 20 boxes in even the smallest unit (BoxDuke). That’s a game changer for someone with a growing collection like mine.

Design: One thing I’ve always loved about board games is their box art. The colorful designs, the intricate illustrations—they’re part of the experience! Unlike traditional shelving that only shows the spine of the game, the BoxThrone lets me display the entire box, with the artwork visible from all angles. It turns my game collection into a display as much as a storage solution.

Ease of Assembly: While other shelves might come in bulky, hard-to-move pieces that require awkward assembly, the BoxThrone’s modular design lets me put it together inside the shed, so there’s no need for heavy lifting or awkward angles during setup.

More Than Just Storage: A Space for Gaming Memories

Now that I have the storage issue handled, I’m focusing on creating the perfect atmosphere in my shed. The BoxThrone will not only provide a stunning place to store my board games, but it will also contribute to the overall ambiance of the space.

I envision cozy game nights with friends, my collection on full display, the perfect lighting, and the occasional breeze flowing through the shed’s half-door. It’ll be a gaming sanctuary where every detail, from the shelving units to the game art on the walls, contributes to the fun and excitement.

Final Thoughts

With BoxThrone, my gaming space is becoming more than just a storage room—it’s an experience. I can display my games, access them easily, and create a welcoming environment for my fellow gamers.

And the best part? It’s fully customizable, so it’s perfectly suited to my style and space.
