Design the lighting scheme to fit your needs. Avoid creating glare or distractive lighting. Use overhead lights to avoid obstructive light reflection and a dimmer switch to raise and lower the light levels to suit your gaming. Install a remote curtain or shade control to block out outside light.

Store tasty, easy-to-eat snacks in the cabinets for you and your guests. Store water, juice, soda , and other beverages in a mini-fridge or cooler.
