    Labeling was unnecessary here.

  2. Mateusz K on January 24, 2022 at 2:52 pm

    I wana ask…WHERE IS DOCK FOR THE SWITCH?! 😀

  3. jonas mieyi on January 24, 2022 at 2:54 pm

    purrfect. is that a lumiy lightblade lamp. perfect!

  4. LauraEskinsArt on January 24, 2022 at 2:56 pm

    Please don’t put plants that need watering on top of your game consoles.

  5. Jessica Maggie on January 24, 2022 at 3:04 pm

    Uh, where’s the pc tower now sitting? As where it is before is now taken up with drawers listed ‘nerd stuff’…

  6. Franz Mendoza on January 24, 2022 at 3:05 pm

    You need to showcase the nerd stuff to make it a gamer’s room. It looks like an office than a gamer’s room. No game related design in the room lol

  7. bobandbobandbob on January 24, 2022 at 3:09 pm

    Keep the monitor arm

  8. Janice Joplin on January 24, 2022 at 3:09 pm

    Where do I sign up?

  9. laina on January 24, 2022 at 3:09 pm

    I just wanna know why you gotta stack some of the cameras like that…

  10. Tebii on January 24, 2022 at 3:10 pm

    What are you gonna play there?
    Road rash?

  11. Tesla Cannon on January 24, 2022 at 3:11 pm

    This really doesn’t match gamer aesthetic.

  12. Anthony D on January 24, 2022 at 3:13 pm

    I’m pretty sure the guy will make the space his own and add his own touch in the future. They gave him a fresh start, he had a mess before. he can add as many accessories as he wants like shelves for his collections and records or whatever. Y’all are too critical. Pretty sure this is supposed to be inspiration not a literal taken so literally

  13. Roxanne Ruiz on January 24, 2022 at 3:13 pm

    What a weird layout. I prefer the before side tbh. I thought she was going to make a hanging bookshelf and display things neatly or make lsd lighting more brighter or something. But this layout is put everything away, destroying a PS4 while adding an ugly wallpaper in the background.

  14. Bilectal on January 24, 2022 at 3:14 pm

    DID U JUST PUT A POP OF GOLDEN BRUCE LEE IN A DRAWER NAMED NERD STUFFFF??????????????????????????????

  15. Tami Paz on January 24, 2022 at 3:14 pm

    I love the cord organization. The before looks like my son’s room. It’s so hard to clean the floor and around the desk. I definitely wouldn’t change his display of posters or anything else he has out. It shows his personality.

  16. Carrie Myers on January 24, 2022 at 3:15 pm

    I want to know where the desk is from!

  17. RainbowManatee on January 24, 2022 at 3:16 pm

    I can tell some of you are clearly the cliche ‘gamers’ that live in a pile of your own filth, cheeto dust, and mountain dew bottles.

    Just because you play games a lot doesn’t mean you can’t take care of the space you’re in.
    You honestly don’t even have to go to the lengths they did here to look like you care about your environment.
    But honestly I would encourage you to go so much further. Especially considering this looks more like a space made for steaming with how the background setup is.

  18. sofeels on January 24, 2022 at 3:17 pm

    Is anyone else bother by how crooked every single thing they hanged is? And don’t even get me started on the labels…. the "camera gear" one is giving me nightmares

  19. Michał on January 24, 2022 at 3:17 pm

    This is actually horrible

  20. blue rain on January 24, 2022 at 3:18 pm

    The original room does not feel lived in

  21. Andrea H on January 24, 2022 at 3:18 pm

    Bring out the awesome “nerd stuff” for display… and apply the organizational labels carefully— so they’re all straight. (Oh, that drove me crazy.) Also, how’s the cat gonna get up to that wall cradle? Jump off the office chair? Annoying! That one has me wondering, honestly.

  22. BlueMoon Builds on January 24, 2022 at 3:19 pm

    How is the cat supposed to get up there…

  23. MentalStatus on January 24, 2022 at 3:19 pm

    This is a great office, but not made for gamers. Why would you hide the "nerd stuff" like funko pop’s and game posters? I get making everything seem a little more sleek and minimal, but gamers really want something that stands out.

  24. okashi10 on January 24, 2022 at 3:20 pm

    I’ve been waiting for something like this. How to have a gaming setup that matches the rest of your home, and actually looks mature and minimal without looking too cheesy… (Most gaming setups are too dark, modern, and have waaay too many LED lights, accessories, and posters.)

    I know a lot of people will disagree and say this design is "hiding accessories" and "isn’t nerdy enough", but TBH I’m an adult and I want a home that looks grown-up — while still being able to game. So this works for me.

  25. Henrique Mendes on January 24, 2022 at 3:20 pm

    I got one freaking thing to say…don’t put a plant pot above a console…that doesn’t make any sense…

  26. Boomy on January 24, 2022 at 3:20 pm

    Although this setup is horrible, at least he didn’t make it dark lit setup but its just terrible.

  27. MIMI KIKI on January 24, 2022 at 3:22 pm

    that cable concealer cleaned the room

  28. cuddly pandas on January 24, 2022 at 3:23 pm

    Was this for a guy or a girl? The gamers den turned into a feminine workplace…light colors and decor? What happened to favourite game posters and whatnot? Stuff that makes a gaming room look and feel like a gaming room. Somewhere to chill out and play spacies, good but just a bit different I guess.

  29. aoibhealfae on January 24, 2022 at 3:23 pm

    flower pot on the ps4 though…

  30. Екатерина Степанова on January 24, 2022 at 3:24 pm

    lol white walls, plant on console and hidden nerd stuff
    sounds like mom’s makeover

  31. mikiyachi2 on January 24, 2022 at 3:25 pm

    Do you know how we know the designer isn’t a gamer? They put all the merch away in a drawer!!
    "Nerd stuff" lol, it needs to be on display

  32. Christina Georgiou on January 24, 2022 at 3:27 pm

    Why hide away the nerd stash?

  33. Maila Loomy on January 24, 2022 at 3:28 pm

    I did it with the Woodglut plans.

  34. Nic_CCC on January 24, 2022 at 3:29 pm

    Wouldn’t it be better if you put the sticker labels on the outside of the drawers so you can actually see what’s inside without opening? Great job with the cable management

  35. Seniru San on January 24, 2022 at 3:31 pm

    I hate how non-nerdy it is. No matter how organized it is there’s nothing there that says I play games

  36. James Olafsson on January 24, 2022 at 3:32 pm

    WoW ! Nice idea ! I tried https://www.amazon.com/bluekeyworld Cable Clips and it helped my organization

  37. Marshallrobbo 00 on January 24, 2022 at 3:35 pm

    For all the beta males out there

  38. Wynd on January 24, 2022 at 3:35 pm

    You put away the cute toys!

    (Using black railways on the old desk would have been enough imho)

  39. DesigningaNewMe on January 24, 2022 at 3:38 pm

    They took down the gamer pictures and put a bunch of eyelashes on the wall 😂😂 Not okay!

  40. Afreen Afshaan on January 24, 2022 at 3:39 pm

    Can someone help me to grow my channel?
    I sub you back.
    Comment when done.

  41. Robin Toll on January 24, 2022 at 3:41 pm

    I’m sorry, but while the makeover definitely neatened the room, I think it was a terrible end result. Why hide all the "Nerd Stuff" if it’s supposed to be a "Gamer’s Dream Office"? I *want* shelves of Pop Vinyls and my nerd art on the walls. Why remove the articulated monitor arm, making it harder to arrange the monitor comfortably?

    Maybe my problem is that the video is just mis-branded. But while my sister might love the result, I’d be upset at how… Non-gamer and non-nerdy the result was.

  42. Pythagoras on January 24, 2022 at 3:42 pm

    Looks like you dont game, because you put a plant on a xbox 😂😂😂😂

  43. Cameron Alexander on January 24, 2022 at 3:42 pm

    Smh like where’s the RGB this guy is clearly trash

  44. Josh Feinkind on January 24, 2022 at 3:43 pm

    Well the Cat Shelves were cool. From therefinedfeline.com

  45. Kirin on January 24, 2022 at 3:43 pm

    wh. dont put a plant on the ps4

  46. Kathy-Lee Westergom on January 24, 2022 at 3:43 pm

    Tbh as a former teen WoW gamer, I don’t see a lot of nerdyness in this video. I could understand certain storage utilities for organizing purposes (esp. Controllers) but it looks more like a pod cast station rather then a gaming station. It feels very bland and not like a gamers heaven. I understand the neat look but in gaming, comfort and utility is more important then "open space" and "aesthetics".

  47. Twiggy ZigZag on January 24, 2022 at 3:44 pm

    Please dont put plants on electronics. That sounds like a bad idea anyway you look at it.

  48. Csb1289 on January 24, 2022 at 3:44 pm

    the ONLY thing this room needed was a dust down and those cable concealers, a bit more organization of collectibles maybe. That’s it. This just killed all the joys of being a gamer, proudly displaying the things you love. Maybe I’d paint the shelving white and put up the wallpaper but that’s all.

  49. Jenny Brown on January 24, 2022 at 3:44 pm

    It does not look like a gamers office first off it should be darker or at least be bold coloured as a wallcovering, not whites or pastels especially if there is a source of light that causes glare like a window you do not want glare if you are playing games if this can not be done put the desk on the same wall that the windows are on or remove the sliding doors of a closet and put the desk in there or install blackout curtains second do not hide your action figures or funko pops or other figurines they are ment to be seen put them on a shelf not in a drawer and if you see a poster for a game you like put it on the wall for lighting inderect or soft lighting is best and as for as how gadgets are placed have them be put in a way so that it is easy to set them up and move them if you have to in case you get a new council,computer or you just want to dust and put your games on shelves or in a CD holder if they are disks or in a small box if they are cartrages without a case

  50. ItsMeSwirl on January 24, 2022 at 3:45 pm

    You took a gaming setup and removed the mousepad… that was kind of a low move
