I have done ds a gaming room for his birthday. But its not as good as i hoped. I should have got more lights and better assories I messed up with sizes as well. Its not the end of the world. But it could have been better.

I like it!

2dogsandabudgie · 07/05/2025 13:54

I like it too, the most important thing is does your son like it?

NC28 · 07/05/2025 13:56

Looks great! Big bed, gaming chair, tv right in front of him…that’s teenage boy heaven.

You'll see him in 4 years!

Don’t feel like you’ve not done enough, you’ve done great, OP!

I have no idea 🤣. I doubt very much he will dislike it. I'm pretty sure he will love the chair.

He's not a teenager yet 😅. I bought a single duvet for the bed ffs . I should have done LED lights i think that would have msje quite a difference. I feel thats whats missing.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but are you the poster who was decluttering and sorting their house room by room?

Either way, I think it looks great for a 9 year old boy who likes gaming. And I really like the wall behind the TV.

Teenagequeenwithaloadedgun · 07/05/2025 14:20

He has a gaming chair and a good gaming set up - the wall stickers are great too! What's not to love?

If you're worried about needing LEDs, can you go to the supermarket before he gets back from school? I bet he'll love it

I'm not sure. Could be. My house was trashed and very depressing though . So a declutter may have been someone else.

Thank you. The wall was so hard to do at the time. Hopefully he will like it

I think he'll love it! How nice to have a grown up bedroom.

No on my way to collect them now. So no time. I will have to add them another time I guess

They can always be added later if you think it needs it, I hope he loves it.

Yeah. I may just see if he asks.

@Youagain2025 looks great as always!

Is that water damage/mould around the celling? I can’t tell from the photos if it’s just shadows.

Mizztikle · 07/05/2025 15:01

I love the feature wall but I would have chosen one of those colours probably the orange or blue, to paint the other walls then add the stickers.

No damp or mould . Its white there used to be led stick on lights and its taken the paint off.

The room is small . It would have made ut feel even smaller.

I also love the 'just 5 more minutes' stickers. Very funny, if a hostage to fortune!

CharSiu · 07/05/2025 15:13

You can get him to choose where he wants the lights and do it together, have a little chat about it. That will be a very lovely moment.

I love it! I recognise your eye for colour before I read the rest of your post!
Does DS like it? You’ll know as you won’t see him for days!

Ds loves it he's really happy making excited type sounds 😄 loves his presents to. He wanted binoculars so he can look at the stars and moon . So he wants it to get dark.

He will love it. Mine would go mad for the chair and the stickers.
what looks good to middle aged women is very different to what looks good for pre teen boys!

uncomfortablydumb60 · 07/05/2025 16:20

Amazing See I know you doubt yourself at times, but you do make great decisions!!

HerbertVonDoodlebug · 07/05/2025 16:21

This is brilliant! Great work, glad he loves it. You’ll never see him again 🤣
