New to LADS merchandise? No worries at all — this guide is friendly for first-time collectors and seasoned shrine-builders alike. We will cover the basics and share tips to make your space feel genuinely yours.
01 ✦Why Every LADS Fan Deserves a Dedicated Corner
Fandom is not just something that lives on your phone screen. It is the warmth you feel replaying a favourite story moment, the comfort of hearing a voice line while you study, the small joy of glancing over at a plushie and smiling without quite knowing why. A dedicated corner takes that feeling and makes it physical — a real, tangible space that says this part of my world belongs to something I love.
It also works surprisingly well as a creativity and comfort zone. Many fans find that having their characters nearby makes late-night work sessions feel less lonely, makes creative projects more inspired, and makes an ordinary desk feel like something worth sitting down at.
You do not need a lot of space or a large budget to start. A small shelf, a corner of your desk, even a window ledge — all of these can become something beautiful with the right pieces.
02 ✦Step 1 — Choosing Your Perfect Spot
Before you unwrap a single plushie, take a moment to look around your room. The best LADS corner is one that you will actually see and enjoy every day. Here are a few great options to consider:
Your desk or workspace. This is the most popular choice among fans because it means your favourite characters are with you while you work, study, or game. A mouse pad with your favourite character sets the mood, while an acrylic stand and a plushie on the corner of the desk adds warmth without taking up much room.
A dedicated shelf or bookcase row. If you have a floating shelf or a free row on a bookcase, this is perfect for a more elaborate display. You can mix heights using small acrylic stands, prop plushies at different angles, and hang keychains from the shelf edge for a layered, gallery-like feel.
A bedside corner. Waking up to soft lighting and your favourite characters nearby? Yes, please. A small tray or bedside table can hold one or two plushies, a mini acrylic stand, and a few keychains draped over the edge — cosy and intimate.
Quick tip: Think about the lighting in your chosen spot. Warm soft lighting (a string of fairy lights or a small LED lamp) makes merchandise colours glow beautifully and adds that dreamy atmosphere that LADS vibes so perfectly with.
03 ✦Step 2 — Plushie Dolls: The Heart of Your Shrine
If there is one item that instantly transforms a corner into a sanctuary, it is a plushie doll. There is something about holding or seeing a soft, huggable version of a character you love that feels completely different from any other type of merchandise. It is warm, it is tactile, it is genuinely comforting.
How to display your plushies
The casual group hug: Sit two or three plushies together, leaning slightly towards each other. This works beautifully on a desk corner or a shelf, and it looks relaxed and lived-in rather than stiff and "collection-display" formal.
The star of the show: If you have one character you are especially devoted to, give their plushie the central position — slightly raised on a small box or stand if possible, with other items arranged around them. It creates a natural focal point.
The cosy pile: For fans who have collected multiple plushies, a gentle stack or cluster on a soft surface (like a folded cloth or a small cushion) looks wonderfully cozy and very "home."
Soft, detailed, and utterly huggable. Your dark crow, always nearby.
Soft, detailed, and utterly huggable. Your ocean prince, always nearby.

Steadfast and sweet — a plushie that feels like a reliable companion.
Cool elegance in a soft, squeezable form. Perfect for your desk.
04 ✦Step 3 — Acrylic Stands: A Gallery of Memories
Where a plushie is soft and huggable, an acrylic stand is sharp, vivid, and artistic. The best LADS acrylic stands capture a character's most iconic expressions and outfits in full colour — they catch the light beautifully and feel genuinely like little pieces of art standing on your shelf.
Acrylic stands are also wonderfully versatile display items. Because they are slim and freestanding, you can layer them at different depths to create visual dimension — place a taller stand at the back and a smaller one in front, and suddenly you have depth and composition rather than just a flat line of items.
Tips for arranging your acrylic stands
Try pairing an acrylic stand directly in front of or beside its matching plushie — seeing the "illustrated" version of a character next to the soft version creates a delightful contrast that fans tend to love. You can also group stands by story arc, mood, or outfit theme for a more curated feel.
For a beautiful nighttime effect, place your acrylic stand in front of a small LED light or fairy light cluster. The back-lighting makes the colours glow in a way that feels almost like the character is lit from within.
Styling idea: Arrange your acrylic stands in a slight arc or diagonal line rather than a straight row. It looks more natural and dynamic, like they are caught mid-conversation.
05 ✦Step 4 — Mouse Pad: Functional and Absolutely Beautiful
Here is the thing about a Love and Deep Space mouse pad: it is merchandise that you actually use every single day. Unlike items stored in a cabinet, your mouse pad is always out, always visible, always part of your daily experience. That makes it one of the most impactful ways to bring your fandom into your everyday life.
A high-quality LADS mouse pad also does a lot of the visual heavy lifting in your desk setup. Because mouse pads are large relative to other merchandise items, they set the colour palette and mood for your entire desk area. A Rafayel mouse pad brings soft blues and warm ocean tones; a Zayne one carries cool, refined elegance. Choose the one that matches both the character you love and the atmosphere you want your desk to have.
Making your mouse pad the centrepiece
Place your acrylic stands and any small keychains along the top edge of the mouse pad to create a natural "frame." It turns the entire desk into a unified composition rather than a collection of separate items.
06 ✦Step 5 — Keychains: Tiny Details That Tie Everything Together
Do not underestimate the humble keychain. In a Love and Deep Space corner, keychains are the finishing touch — the equivalent of earrings on an outfit. They are small enough to tuck into any gap, hang from any edge, or attach to any surface, and they add a sense of completeness and personal detail that larger items simply cannot.
Creative ways to use your keychains in your display
Draped over shelf edges: Let keychains hang down from the edge of your shelf. When they catch the light and sway slightly, they add movement and life to a static display.
Love and deep space accessories
On your bag or lanyard: Your LADS corner does not have to stay at home. Attaching a keychain to your everyday bag means your favourite character travels with you everywhere — a small, private reminder of something that makes you happy.
Clustered together: A small hook or peg with two or three keychains grouped together looks intentional and charming. Try mixing characters for a "whole cast is here" moment, or keep it to one character for a more focused feel.
Keychains also make wonderful gifts for fellow LADS fans — they are easy to package, not too expensive, and deeply personal. Perfect for birthdays, fandom meetups, or just because.
07 ✦Step 6 — Bringing It All Together
Now that you have your pieces, here is how to style them into a cohesive, beautiful corner that feels like you.
✦ The MiaoStation Styling Formula
- Anchor with one large item. Your mouse pad or a large plushie serves as the visual anchor. Everything else arranges around it.
- Vary the height. Mix tall acrylic stands with shorter plushies, and let keychains hang below the shelf line. Height variation makes a display feel alive rather than flat.
- Create depth by layering. Place items at different distances from you — acrylic stands slightly behind plushies, keychains in front. Even a few centimetres of depth makes a big difference.
- Add soft lighting. A small string of warm fairy lights behind or above your display transforms the entire mood, especially in the evening.
- Leave a little breathing room. Resist the urge to fill every single gap. Some negative space makes each item more visible and lets the overall display feel intentional rather than cluttered.
- Make it personal. Add a handwritten note, a printed quote from the game, or a small trinket that means something to you personally. The most beautiful fan corners always have one element that is purely, uniquely the collector's own.
There is no wrong way to build your corner. The only rule is that it should make you smile when you look at it.
08 ✦FAQ — Your Questions Answered
Do I need a lot of space to build a Love and Deep Space corner?
Not at all! Some of the most charming LADS setups we have seen fit entirely on a single desk corner or a small bedside tray. Start with one plushie, one acrylic stand, and a keychain or two — that is already a complete little world. You can always add more over time.
Which character should I start with?
Your favourite one, always! But if you are genuinely undecided, many fans find it easiest to start with the character they have the most gameplay memories with, since the merchandise will immediately carry those feelings. From there, expanding to include other characters becomes very natural.
How do I keep my acrylic stands and plushies looking their best?
For acrylic stands, a gentle wipe with a dry microfiber cloth every week or two keeps dust away and maintains the clarity of the print. For plushies, keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading, and spot-clean gently if needed. Most of all — handle them with love!
Can I mix merchandise from different characters in one corner?
Absolutely, and honestly it often looks even more interesting! A corner featuring all four main LADS characters feels lively and complete — like the whole story is present. If you prefer a more focused look, grouping one character together creates a more intimate, dedicated shrine feeling. Both approaches are beautiful.
Does MiaoStation ship internationally?
