Most people don’t know the duvet can be cleaned. In fact, washing the duvet is not as difficult as you imagined. Let us share the ways to wash different duvets and how to store them.

Cotton quilt

Cotton is the most traditional quilt component. The quilt is made of natural cotton fibre. It is thicker and is a commonly used quilt in winter. The cotton quilt cannot be washed with water. Washing with water will cause the cotton to clump, which is difficult to restore to its original shape, and its functionality will decline. Therefore, the correct way to clean is to bask it in the sun and lightly pat the quilt to remove the dust and maintain the bulkiness of the cotton, thereby maintaining its functionality to keep warm.

The cotton in the quilt has a strong moisture absorption ability, so you need to pay attention to moisture problems when storing it. In addition, it is not recommended to put heavy stuff above the quilt when storing, because excessive squeezing will make the cotton compact and lose its heat storage capacity.

Down duvet

The inner core of the duvet is made by animals down, mostly from geese or ducks. Down has higher warmth retention ability than cotton and other plant fibres. The three-dimensional structure of the down stores a lot of air, which can retain the heat emitted by humans and effectively keep the user warm. The quilt itself is also lighter.

The duvet can be washed in a machine or water, but it also needs to be cleaned in a gentle mode with neutral detergent, because acidic or alkaline detergents will damage the down fibre itself. After washing, it can be dried in a ventilated place and avoid exposure to the sun. If you want to clean it thoroughly, you can consider sending it to a dry cleaning every 5-7 months.

In order to maintain the permeability of the duvet, it is necessary to avoid using plastic or fibre duvet cover, so as to prevent the inner core of the duvet from being damp and mouldy and causing a peculiar smell. It should also be stored in a dry place.

Silk duvet

Silk duvet is another kind of animal protein fibre. It’s soft and permeable at the same time, which can be used during all seasons. So, silk is a premium material for producing duvet. Additionally, the production process of silk duvet does not contain any chemical materials or pesticides, so pure silk duvet with good quality is a natural and environmentally friendly product.

Silk duvets are difficult to clean. Like cotton quilts, they cannot be washed with water because they will clump and also cannot be exposed to the sun, which will make the fibres brittle. So, they can only be placed in a cool place for ventilation. For storage, in order not to deform the silk, the silk quilt cannot be squeezed in a vacuum and should not be pressed with heavy objects.

Wool duvet

The curling characteristic of wool makes the wool duvet contain a large amount of air, and slow down the heat transfer rate, so it can prevent the intrusion of cold air and able to maintain a high degree of warmth as well as being the most fire-resistant quilt.

Anyone who has woollen clothes would know that wool is not recommended to be washed, so if you wish to wash the wool duvet, you need to take it for dry cleaning. If you want to keep the duvet clean, you dry the duvet regularly in the evening or early morning for 1-2 hours for dehumidification and bactericidal effect. For storage, you need to put insect repellent items at the same time to prevent the wool from being infested.

Fibre quilt

A fibre quilt is actually made of man-made fibre. The advantage is that the maintenance is simpler than other animal and plant fibres. In addition to the condition that it is less likely to grow mould, it has a high elasticity so it will not shrink and the price is relatively low. However, it can only last for 2-3 years which is a much shorter lifespan than other well-maintained quilts. Since the chemical fibre is a plastic-type, the air permeability of the quilt is relatively poor.

Cleaning fibre quilt is simpler than other types of quilts. It can be washed directly by the washing machine at low speed or washed by hands with weak alkaline detergent to clean it more thoroughly. However, it is not recommended to hang it up during drying as the cohesion between fibres is not strong. If we hung it up, it may cause uneven thickness and lose its warmth retaining ability.

Movie lovers have their home theater, bookworms have a home library, and gardening enthusiasts have their flower gardens. What do video gamers have? A home video game room of course.

We have seen some good video game rooms, we have seen some unique ones, and we have certainly seen some wild ones. For video game lovers, having the right place to play your games is essential to your enjoyment and comfort. You could choose to play on the couch in the living room or on your bed but your back will punish you for it, not to mention all the disruptions from other people. Having a dedicated video game room allows you to play in quiet and comfort.

Video Game Room Design Considerations

Integrated Electronics

There are no hard and fast rules regarding how you should set up your video game rooms. Different people will have varying tastes and needs. But there are some basic foundations you need to consider as you set up the ultimate video game room.

Comfort – Chances are you are going to be seated most of the time. Thus, it is extremely important that you be as comfortable as possible. Look for a chair that is soft and provides proper support to your back and spine. You should not experience any back pain by the end of your playing session.Cooling – gaming computers need to be powerful and this means they produce plenty of heat. If you spend hours racing or shooting up zombies and bad guys, the room is bound to get quite hot. The obvious solution is to blast the AC to full power though this can be expensive. Cheaper ways to keep the room cool include using multiple fans, opening the windows and getting a larger room if you can.Storage – you are going to need lots of storage otherwise your game room is going to be one confusing mess.Technology – make sure you have all the tech gadgets you need to make your gaming experience comfortable. Examples include an adjustable TV stand, a cable organizer to avoid messy wires on the floor, cooling pads for your laptop, wireless headsets and speakers and so on.Lighting – most game rooms are set up in spaces with little to no natural light coming in. So you want to make sure you have adequate light fixtures set up around the room.Nutrition – if you tend to play on through the night, consider having a fridge in the room with healthy things to nibble on. You can also add a water dispenser for quick access to drinking water.

Video Game Room Ideas

If you fancy your own video game room at home, we have some great game room ideas for you. Do not feel limited in any way by the following list of video game room ideas. Be as creative as you want.

1. The Basement Lair

The basement is one of the most popular locations for a game room thanks to its seclusion and large space. If you have an unfinished basement, you will have to undertake extensive renovations to turn it into your dream game room. If it is already under use, you could partition part of it and deck it out with your own colors and furniture.

The most important thing to remember when setting up your game room in the basement is safety. Make sure the basement is built to the required safety standards. This means having a second escape exit, smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and so on.

The basement provides the advantage of being in a secluded part of the house. There are minimal disruptions and you can have the volume as loud as you want without worrying about disturbing others. If not the basement, you can also find an unused room, such as an extra bedroom, and convert it into a video game room. However, you may not get the seclusion that the basement provides.

2. A Living Room Game Station

Not everyone has an unused basement or extra room lying around the house. In that case, you have to adapt to your current situation. One idea is to set up your gaming center in the living room. Note that this only works if you are single or have no kids around.

To prevent cables from messing up your living room style, buy one of the many cable organizers available in the market. Don’t forget to include adequate storage for your video games and other items instead of leaving them strewn all over the place.

3. The Corner Spot

If you cannot get an entire room to yourself, the corner spot gaming station is your best option. Depending on the situation at home, you can choose a secluded spot in the living room, the bedroom, your own home office or the home library.

Like the living room game center discussed above, you have to keep things minimal and neat. Get enough shelving for all your stuff and have a cable organizer at hand to keep your gaming area clean. You might need additional lighting around your spot, maybe a fan to wad away the heat and definitely a pair of gaming headphones to keep the noise to yourself.

4. Themed Game Room

One of the reasons why we highly recommend you use an entire room as a gaming center is the design freedom you get. Since it is your personal space, you can pretty much design it in any way you want. If you want to really personalize the space and create the best gaming atmosphere, choose the right theme.

Most gamers use their favorite games to theme their video game rooms. You can go vintage and create a Super Mario themed room with elements from the first Mario games released in the 1980s. If you are crazy about racing games, deck out your game room in all the racing posters and paraphernalia you can get your hands on. Same goes if you love swords, fighter jets games and sports games.

Some go beyond gaming to theme their rooms after their favorite movies. So if you have particular leanings toward Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean or Fast and Furious, feel free to theme your game room accordingly. This is especially if your game room also doubles up as a movie room.

5. The Minimalist Den

Video game rooms are often associated with miles of cables running across the room, tech hardware strewn all over and bits and pieces laying around without any apparent organization. For minimalists, this is definitely not a place you want to play in. So what do you do if you love clean minimalist looks but are an ardent video game lover? Just set up the minimalist video game den.

Leave your walls clean and use neutral colors all round. Do not fill up the room with furniture, one comfortable couch or two gaming chairs are plenty. Have adequate and well-placed storage around the room, preferable one that recesses into the wall to maintain the minimalist look. Finally, go wireless. Wherever you can, cut out the cables and opt for wireless hardware.

6. The Attic Game Room

If not down below in the basement, what about up above in the attic? The attic is a great place to set up a video game room. It is secluded and usually spacious. Talk with a contractor about what renovations are needed to convert the attic into a functional video game room.

One issue you have to focus on is temperature control. The attic is often vulnerable to extreme heating in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. We recommend looking at various insulation options for the attic. Again, this is an issue you should discuss with your contractor.

7. Multiplayer Rooms

Video games are double fun if enjoyed with friends. If you have a friend or two who also love video games, consider setting up a multiplayer video game room. For this, you will need a large space, preferably the basement or the attic. Set up enough furniture and hardware for everyone and make sure there is adequate cooling to deal with the added heat. You will also need more storage.

A great idea is to add a mini bar at one corner or end of the multiplayer room. This gives you and your friends a nice way to break from all the racing and shooting.

8. Accent Lighting

To create an immersive gaming experience, lighting is an important element. Instead of just a single overhead fixture, add bits of accented lighting around the room. A combination of different colored lights helps create a surreal atmosphere, perfect for video gaming. Blue and red ambient lighting is especially great if you are going for a unique gaming atmosphere.

With the advancement of technology and the reducing costs of gaming equipment, now it is possible to set up your own gaming center at home. Whether you are working with a small budget or a big one and whether you only have the corner spot or an entire basement, there is a perfect video game room design for you.

How to Set Up Video Game Room Ideas

If you’re a video game fan, you will need to create a separate location to set up a video gaming room.

Despite the fact that the space will be cluttered with wires and other electronic supplies, it should be functional.

You always require chairs with strong lumbar support when playing games on the latest or most popular platforms.

Aside from that, there’s a slew of other items you should consider purchasing to round out the area.

Many gamers dream of having their own place to play video games, while the equipment required varies depending on the type of game.

For example, to play with next-generation consoles, you must have HD technologies and enough technological support, such as a continuous Wi-Fi connection, whereas arcade and pinball machines demand space.

On the other hand, a mobile game just requires the player to have access to a power outlet in the event of a dying battery.

Now, creating a private space specifically for video game play is a creative and thrilling undertaking because there are so many distinct styles to choose from.

This selection of the most advanced, smart, and unique video gaming room ideas will help you find a design that fits your budget.

Remember that the costs for each proposal will vary depending on the size, accessories, and, of course, the rig.

Size Is Important

When building a video game room, size is most important because positioning must be precise.

Although there’s no hard & fast rule for determining the size of a space, you can take a few factors into account.

The room should neither be overly large or too little. Some space will be left empty if it is too large.

However, if it is too little, the room would be too narrow, making you feel uneasy.

As a result, it must be medium or big in size to accommodate the TV and noise-free installation, and the consoles and the recliner chair or sofa that you have prepared for your comfort.

Also, make room for friends or family that want to come over and play video games with you.
