I think a home or your living space should be a reflection of you and if you are a nerd through and through, let it shine with a few or a lot of homages to your favorite video games, tv shows, movies, and comics.
1. Edible game controllers.
Go to a crafts store where they sell chocolate molds or order them online. It's literally as simple as melting some chocolate wafers which you can find at the grocery store or anywhere that sells baking goods and then letting it set, and taking them out and you've got a game controller you can eat. You can also make them in actual game controller colors as well if you use different colored chocolates. Makes for great gifts for your nerdy friends too.
2. Lego Key Holder
Get some legos, construct with the colors you like, and then attach your keys and presto...a nerdy key holder.
3. Yoshi Easter Eggs/Decorative Eggs
Get those plastic Easter eggs that snap apart, paint them with paint made for plastics, and then either find a green one or spray paint a clay or plastic pot green. The eggs can then be used as decoration on a desk or table or for actual Easter Egg hunting.
4. Comic Book Lamp
You can use Mod Podge on just about anything to create a decorative collage of your favorite nerd magazines, comics, posters, or advertisements.
5. Death Star Globe
Take a globe, coat it with chalkboard paint, let it dry, then get to drawing with chalk.
6. Game of Thrones Phone Stand
All you need is cardboard, tape, gray spray paint/paint, and cocktail swords
7. Keyboard picture frames
This is a great way to upcyle those old key boards. Just pluck off the keys and glue them on an existing frame or make one yourself out of cardboard and clear film paper.
8. Pokemon pots
It's as simple as using some paint to create these cool designs on some old clay pots. If you can't freehand the design in paint, draw one on and paint from there.
9. Star Trek Vulcan Bookends

10. Star Wars R2D2 trash can
Take a standard flip white trashcan and either paint the design on or use foam pieces to create the design and then glue them in place. Helps if you trace an outline first for placement purposes.
