*This post contains affiliate links.

Hi everyone, it’s Twilife.

I’m so glad that so many of you watched the room tour video of our “Overly Colorful 6-Tatami Room (Dopamine Decor)” that we recently posted on YouTube!

We received quite a few questions about the specific items we used, so today, I’m going to introduce all the interior pieces and decor goods featured in that video all at once.

A workspace that energizes you just by looking at it.

The Main Characters That Define the Room’s Vibe

Yellow Voile Lace Curtains

A cute, sherbet-like color.

These lace curtains have a delicious, sherbet-like color.
When the light filters through them, the entire room is softly bathed in a warm hue, instantly creating a magical atmosphere.
Even while we were still setting up the room, the moment we hung these curtains, the space completely transformed. I was so moved!
I love pairing them with our blinds.

Iron & Teak Display Shelf

I spray-painted it pink myself.

An open rack where I display my favorite knick-knacks.
It was originally black, but I spray-painted it pink myself.
Because the shape is so simple and airy, even with a bold color, it doesn’t look cluttered and fits into the space adorably.


Lighting Items That Color the Space

Unique lighting fixtures are absolutely essential for creating a Dopamine Decor room.

Socket for Paper Shade

A simple ceramic socket.

Hanging in the center of the room is a round paper shade lamp from HAY.
The socket we use with it is this ceramic one.
While many products are made of plastic or have a highly glossy finish, I finally found this ceramic socket with a muted matte texture.
Its understated, simple design perfectly complements the paper shade.

Philips Hue Smart Bulb

Convenient dimming and color control via smartphone.

The bulb inside the pendant light is a Philips Hue smart bulb.
You can easily adjust the brightness and color from your smartphone. I set it to a crisp white while working, and a warm tone during relaxing times. Being able to change it to match my mood is incredibly convenient.
It links with Alexa, so I usually use voice commands to turn it on/off or switch modes.

Colorful Pendant Lights

Even the cords are cute—a true favorite.

These green and orange lights are hung from the duct rail.
Most pendant lights have black cords, but these have brown cords. They were quite hard to find, which makes me love them even more.

Wavy Pendant Light

A design that accents the room.

This is another pendant light hung from the duct rail, from JOURNAL STANDARD FURNITURE.
Its chunky, wavy silhouette is very unique and serves as a fantastic accent piece for the space.

Philips Hue Lightstrip

Elevates the Dopamine Decor vibe.

A light strip that vibrantly colors the area around the desk.
Just like the light bulbs, we use Philips Hue for this.
Simply installing it as indirect lighting instantly gives the room a stylish, overseas-apartment vibe.

Neon Rope Light

A light you can bend into any shape.

This neon light boldly sweeps across the light blue wall.
It’s made of a soft material that can be bent freely, making it perfect for wall decoration.
A huge plus is that it comes with guides that allow you to install it even on walls without studs behind them.
I simulated the shape with a piece of twine before actually mounting it on the wall.

Disco Ball

Reflects sparkling light throughout the room.

When hit by sunlight or indoor lighting, this disco ball reflects sparkling particles of light all over the room.
It adds a playful touch and just looking at it puts me in a fun mood.
My niece was absolutely thrilled when she came over to visit! 🙂


Making the Workspace Comfortable

FlexiSpot Office Chair

Prevents fatigue even during long working hours.

The FlexiSpot desk chair we use alongside our white standing desk.
It’s very comfortable, preventing fatigue even during long hours of video editing or work, and because it’s made of mesh material, it doesn’t feel visually oppressive.
Since the room as a whole is very colorful, we intentionally chose white or ivory for large surface areas like the desk and chair so they wouldn’t clash.

Francfranc Electric Blanket

A cozy pink blanket for chilly days.

An essential item with a built-in heater for when I’m working or relaxing on the sofa.
The soft pink color perfectly matches the mint green wallpaper and the sofa area.

Francfranc Bomull Stool (Orange)

The rounded shape is too cute.

Another item from Francfranc.
I absolutely love the vibrant orange color and its chunky, rounded shape.
It acts as a handy spot to place things or as an ottoman when I want to stretch my legs.


Decor & Plants That Add Excitement

Yellow Faux Fur Cushion

Adds warmth to the sofa.

A yellow cushion cover that we paired with our pink Ligne Roset sofa.
The fluffy fur texture adds warmth and a playful touch to the space.

Pink Wavy Art Board

An easy way to make the wall pop.

Among the many pictures and accessories decorating our light blue wall, this Francfranc art board really stands out with a strong presence.
I highly recommend it because you can easily add a splash of glamour to your wall just by hanging it on a screw.
Each one is hand-painted by an artist, so it’s wonderful knowing that no two are exactly alike.

Wire Hanging Pot (Blue)

Looks even better when lined up in different colors.

This is a light blue pot from the same brand.
The wire part can get tangled easily, so be careful when hanging it.
I feel like hanging pots made of different materials and in various colors really elevates that unique, one-of-a-kind Dopamine Decor room vibe.


Conclusion

It takes on a wonderfully different atmosphere at night.
