Call of Duty Room Decor Ideas: Transform Your Space with Call of Duty Themes

One time, a client asked me to design a "Call of Duty bunker" in their spare bedroom — and yes, they meant sandbags and ammo crates. While I didn’t bring actual gear into the house (imagine the neighbours’ faces!), I realised small spaces can spark huge creativity. In fact, gaming rooms often demand the most clever layouts because they have to fit tech, seating, and personality. Today, I’m sharing 5 design ideas that blend my real-life experience with gamer passion.

We even used a room planner to figure out the right angles for the desk, monitors, and LED lighting so it didn’t feel cramped even in a tiny room.

Tip 1: Military-Inspired Color Palette

Olive greens, muted browns, and deep blacks instantly channel COD’s mood, but balance them with lighter accents to avoid a cave-like feeling. I’ve used khaki walls with black trim — it looks sharp, but keep window coverings light so natural light offsets the dark tones.

Tip 2: Themed Wall Art & Murals

Large vinyl decals of game maps or a mural of your favourite scene make a bold statement. In one project, we recreated a section of Nuketown — it looked amazing, but be ready for curious guests taking selfies. Midway through design, we used a free floor plan creator to align wall art with furniture placement for maximum impact.

Tip 3: Gaming Station Ergonomics

Your station is command central. Elevate monitors to eye level, invest in a sturdy desk, and add a reclining chair with lumbar support — you’ll thank yourself during long sessions. Cable management is non-negotiable; messy wires kill the vibe faster than losing a match.

Tip 4: Ambient & Task Lighting

I once installed LED strips behind shelves to mimic the glow of in-game night missions — dramatic, but also practical when switching from game mode to reading. A mix of ambient and spot lighting keeps eyes comfortable and mood on point. Plus, a kitchen layout planner style approach can help you layer lights strategically in zones.

Tip 5: Functional Storage with Style

Ammo crate-style boxes make quirky storage for controllers, headsets, and cables. Floating shelves can hold collectibles like limited edition COD figures. The only catch? Keep dust in check, because nothing ruins display cred faster than a layer of grime.
