Gamers take pride in their setup. Every setup is designed to reflect the user’s personality and goes a long way to determine the quality of time you spend in it. A setup consists of more than just a PC, a monitor, and a few accessories. Decor and lighting make up a considerable part of the setup and define its characteristics to an extent. Thus, you will have to choose the decor elements wisely. In this guide, we will list the best decor elements to add to your setup.
