The Dream Room: Full-Cycle Interior Design and Decor

Many 2D and 3D artists get into their craft because they want to make the pictures in their heads real and share their vision with others. This project was a great opportunity for us to use our skills to create a design of a perfect room we wish we had. Having done many interiors for our clients recently, we thought it would be a nice way of solidifying our experience while doing something fun. We wanted to create a place where we would want to come to play video games, indulge in some VR, and have drinks with friends.

We started by revisiting our previous projects and deciding on the main references. Then, we put together a mood board with all the cool stuff we wanted in our room. It also showed the general aesthetic of the room and its rough layout.

Then, we agreed on an initial preview design and our 3D modelers did the blocking for a few different composition options. Using numbers, we linked these items with those in our reference list. We chose the option the best and proceeded to make a detailed version.

Our 2D artists did an overpaint resulting in a bright, attractive image with beautiful, colorful fluorescent lighting. It looks a bit teenagerish in a small, ordinary room with a couch and a blanket on it, we admit. But that is precisely the aesthetic we imagined for our refuge space!

The room turned out to be saturated with play vibes. It has our beloved geeky collectibles, some sporting goods, a guitar, the precious nostalgic lava lamp, an old PC, and even a popcorn machine: everything you need for a great party.
