      Get one of those headphone holders that clamps to the desk and put it somewhere on the right side of your desk for your most used pair. As for the rest you have room on the bottom shelves. Get a couple of shallow baskets, as in maybe five inches deep max, so stuff doesn’t get lost in there and line the controllers upright in a row in the basket so you can easily grab the one that you need. You can do similar with the VR stuff but put them visor side up. (easier to clean, less likely to have something scratch the inside lenses.)

    2. Depending on the look you want, you could put some pegboard on that back wall. There are tons of accessories you can use to either build small shelves or just hang your gear directly. I like pegboards because they add some texture to the room and you can keep reorganizing them whenever you get new stuff.

      I normally would have suggested regular shelving, but I’d be worried about the cats climbing them like a ladder. A pegboard keeps everything shallow enough to the wall that they can’t really get a foothold. It would be a perfect way to get those headsets and controllers off the floor before they get stepped on, too.

      For those LEGO builds on the right, you might want to look into a spray like BrickShield. It’s a clear spray that helps keep the pieces locked together so they don’t fall apart if a cat bumps them, but you can still wash it off with water later if you want to rebuild. Also, if you tucked some LED strips under those metal shelves, it would really make the cars pop since that corner looks a little dark right now.
