Ok so recent I have moved and sadly my bedroom is alot smaller then my previous one. Most of the room is taken up by my bed and a few dressers. One wall is completely taken up by a window and another is a closet. The third wall is only a small space about 3 ft between the bathroom door and the bedroom door. Now I have a small enough to however though I have the following systems that I use a Xbox One also doubles as my Blu-ray player in my bedroom, Switch, SNES Mini, NES Mini, Wii, and an HD Clone SNES. I through a splitter I can hook them all up to my the problem is I don't have any room for a large entertainment center to house them all. So I was just wondering has anyone else ran into this problem and if so any creative ways that maybe you have used to get around the problem.

I really hate having to move them to another room or worst yet just box them up. Just to have them sit in a closet. I don't mind any DYI ideas as my friend and I can put stuff together and what not.

My solution is for a room quite similar to yours. My PC, two monitors and desk fit in one 4 foot wide space and if I sit in my chair and turn just to my right I'm met with what we call "warehouse shelves". Its a 6ft high, maybe...2-3ft wide and 2ft at most depth stack of shelves. You can put each shelf wherever you want but you need to properly assemble the steel frame. The shelves are wooden and have a 500kg weight limit per shelf.

With this I'm able to sustain a 40 inch TV, various consoles and amiibo all on these shelves.

Expensive, and hard to put together, but sturdy and worth it.

Depending on budget I would suggest you build your own entertainment stand and get a wall mounted TV. Measure out the height, width and depth you want, then buy some wood from your local store. All you need is a saw, pencil (to mark where to cut) and a hammer and some nails. Then you can either wood stain it, or paint it as you please. If you want to get real creative, there are plenty of printable stencils you can get online and paint game controllers, game logos, etc on.

If that sounds like too much work, you might just get lucky browsing Ikea or some similar furniture store. Just be sure to make measurements beforehand. But going with a wall mounted TV is probably still best for saving space.
