When you move into your own space for the first time, it might take you a while to realize something glaringly obvious: you can do whatever you want to with the space. Whether you have an entire apartment or house to yourself or just a bedroom, you can make it the space of your dreams if you have a little inspiration. TikTok interior designers are showcasing their skills by making even simple, often ignored corners into works of art. And they call it dopamine decorating.

Essentially, the concept behind dopamine decorating is that every corner of every inch of your space induces a mood-boosting seratonin response in the brain. Of course, that can look different for each person, but in general, this trend focuses on bright colors, unique spins on everyday items like lamps, and stand-out tchotchkes that just make you smile whenever you walk by them. But contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to have a million-dollar budget to achieve the dopamine decor space of your dreams. You just have to know where to look. Here are 10 stand-out and unique pieces you can shop at Walmart so you can design the dopamine decor space of your dreams.
