Plan your next BOXROOM session
Our independent guide walks you through BOXROOM’s decorating tools, library integration and sharing features. Follow these exercises to experiment with layouts, test community content and refine how you display your collection without needing any paid upgrades.
01 / THE GUIDE
Layout Experimentation
Create three distinct room layouts—minimalist, retro, and themed. Compare how each affects the visibility of your game boxes and note which arrangement feels most functional for browsing.
- Try different shelf heights to accommodate larger box art.
- Use wall space for posters to add visual interest without crowding the floor.
02 / THE GUIDE
Shelf Organization Strategies
Arrange your library by genre in one room and by release year in another. Observe which method lets you locate titles faster and consider mixing both for a hybrid approach.
- Group games by developer for a tidy, themed display.
- Leave empty slots for future purchases to keep the layout balanced.
03 / THE GUIDE
Catalogue Deep Dive
Spend a session searching the BoxCo Catalogue for items that match a specific color palette. Record how many relevant pieces appear and whether the search filters help narrow results effectively.
- Search by keyword (e.g., "retro" or "glass") to narrow results quickly.
- Save favorite items for later placement to streamline decorating sessions.
04 / THE GUIDE
Workshop Texture Testing
Import a custom texture from the Steam Workshop onto a single shelf. Compare the visual impact against the default material and decide if the style enhances your overall room theme.
- Invite a friend to compare room layouts and exchange decorating ideas.
- Use the share feature after a major redesign to showcase your work.
05 / THE GUIDE
Sharing Feedback Loop
Invite a friend to view your room and request one design suggestion. Implement the suggestion, then re‑share the updated room to see how collaborative input improves the space.
- Browse the Workshop for themed sets that match specific game franchises.
- Test imported textures on a single shelf before applying them broadly.
