Fall & Winter Game Room Setup Guide

Setting the Right Ambiance for Fall & Winter

Winter-proofing your game room begins with setting the right ambiance. Very much like you do in Decorum. Prepare for shorter & colder days of winter by adding elements that don’t merely warm the room but also add a homely feel to your gaming space! You can do that by:

• Choosing warm & inviting color tones for your game room’s walls. How about deep reds, burnt oranges, rich browns, and forest greens to evoke the spirit of fall?! That’s how you can create a snug, outside-complementing environment in your home.

• Complementing your room’s fall-friendly tones with layered lighting strategies. You can add task lighting for board game table areas with adjustable lamps. Try using accent lighting like dimmable LEDs or string lights to set the mood.

• Throwing plush blankets draped over chairs, cushioned seating, thick area rugs beneath tables, and insulated curtains. That’s how you keep drafts out successfully to ensure your fellow gamers are all comfortable.

Smart Furniture Choices for Comfort and Functionality

Unless you’re planning to spend your winter playing Friday, you need winter-friendly furniture in your game room, besides a board gaming table. BoxKing offers multiple modular game tables that accommodate 2 to 10 players; they’re perfect for growing gaming groups and a variety of game types. Tables like the Kingswood or Ironside 2.0 provide ample space, sturdy build quality, and intelligent designs that transition easily between dining and playing.

Going beyond tables for your tabletop fun, you need ergonomic or plush seats to keep everyone comfortable during long sittings (like when playing The Campaign for North Africa). You can get chairs with supportive backs & armrests. Add throw pillows for extra softness. Good furniture makes even the longest of all board games seem like Kingdomino with kids!

You can take this up a notch by investing in multi-functional furniture pieces. Like a storage seat with hidden compartments for your accessories or tables with built-in trays. That’s how you can keep your game room clutter-free and make your space more inviting in winter.

Optimized Board Gaming Setup + Storage Solutions

Organization is the backbone of every good game room. Adjustable shelving and modular storage towers are essential for accommodating your growing library. BoxKing’s GamePillar and BoxThrone systems fit boxes of all sizes perfectly.

• Storage benches and accessory trays help manage dice, tokens, and cards.
• Organize games by type, size, or frequency of play to streamline setup.
• Good storage saves space, reduces stress, and keeps the focus on fun.

Boosting Your Gaming Experience

You can improve your fellow hobbyists’ comfort by setting up your game table with lots of nice & relevant accessories. Check out these options:

• Playmats help define the gaming area, protect your table surface, and add thematic flair

• Cup holders and dedicated card and discard holders keep snacks and drinks handy without risking spills on game components

• Adjustable lighting that reduces glare ensures players can clearly see the game board and cards without eye strain.

Let’s not forget about tech integration. Charging stations make sure that wireless controllers never run out of power, and everyone’s phones have enough charge to call an Uber home. Headset stands and smart speakers for background music will create a seamless experience for your mates.

Adding Seasonal Decor & Personal Touches

Let’s not forget about seasonal decorations that imbue your game room with festive cheer without overwhelming the space. For instance:

• Use winter-themed decoration pieces like pinecones and autumn leaves as subtle accent pieces 

• Candles or LED lanterns with warm, flickering lights add charm to your board game room’s atmosphere 

• Display your game collection with well-lit shelves & display racks that double as decor elements 

• Personal items like artwork, game-themed posters, collectibles, etc., help express your unique style and passion for gaming

Tips for Game Set Up in Cold Weather

Here are some more game room ideas for small rooms that make your space welcoming to everyone when a chill breeze is blowing outside:

• Use vertical storage options like wall-mounted racks to free up floor space for some warm cocoa and marshmallows

• Choose foldable tables and stackable chairs for flexible room layout adjustments

• Keep all walkways clear for easy movement during bathroom breaks in the cold

• Store your favorite board games carefully to make sure they don’t get ruined because of the cold

• Make sure there’s good air circulation to reduce stiffness in your enclosed game room

• Use mirrors to create the illusion of a larger space and reflect light across the room (unless you decide on Shadows in the Forest)

• Complement the coziness of your room with warm lighting and soft textiles to make it even more welcoming to your pals
