Paint the walls a light colour, it's better if you want to do any tabletop photography.

I painted a wall in my War Room a warlike red.  I sometimes have cause to regret that decision...
I quite like it. As long as the rest of your walls are white-ish and your lighting is good, photography shouldn't be a problem, especially if you are using a tripod.

I do too.  But I suspect the light is slightly affected by it.  Oh well, I can take some half decent photos if I fiddle about.  And I'll probably make a sky backdrop at some stage...

A sky back drop that is light in colour, lots of white fluffy clouds is a good idea. I take all my pictures in my daughter's room which is a dark blue; I use a piece of un-primed drywall board with some light grey clouds painted on it as a back drop and my pictures turn out fine. Some times I lighten them up a bit in editing but most of the time not.

Just about there. A few more pictures and a Roman blind above the window to be added.

Apologies for the poor photographs.

Btw the cupboards at the back have no hidden away wargaming clutter.

Good use of space mate.

Have you got some sort of plan for the storage space under your tables?

Wait... natural light?  Is that allowed in a wargames room?  I always paint and play in basements...  lol

Looks cozy.
