Imagine your childhood bedroom: It might have consisted of colorful walls, an obnoxious patterned bedspread (neon pink zebra, anyone?), an unnecessarily lavish stuffed animal collection, and posters of your favorite teenage crush. Before you thought about aesthetics or figured out your sense of style, you probably only decorated with pieces that made you happy. If that was you, guess what? You’re probably already pretty familiar with dopamine decor.
To follow the dopamine decor trend — like the dopamine dressing that came before it — all you need to do is focus on surrounding yourself with furniture, art, and items that make you happy. Think about what you would like to wake up to in the morning, whether it’s a certain color that you love so much that you’ll try the monochrome look, or retro kitchen appliances – whatever puts a smile on your face will do.

“Dopamine decorating encourages us to think about our purchases and perhaps only buy what we need and love, as opposed to the over-consumerism that occurs when following trends,” says Grace Baena, interior design expert at the second-hand furniture brand Kaiyo. “When it comes to design and furniture shopping, the thrill of the search is completely dopaminating, especially when you come across a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece.”

How do you rock dopamine decor?
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to dopamine decoration, but there are some general guidelines you can follow. First, opt for bright, cheerful colors like yellow, orange and pink. These colors are known to increase dopamine levels in the brain. Patterns and textures can also be used to create a dopamine-friendly space. Think geometric shapes, stripes, or anything else that catches your eye. When it comes to furniture and accessories, pay attention to simplicity and clear lines. Too much clutter will only cause your senses to become overwhelmed and dopamine levels to drop.

How to try dopamine decor?
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to recreate these dopamine inspired rooms, there are plenty of affordable ways to do it! Start by painting your walls bright, cheerful colors or at least adding a single accent wall in the color you like. Fill your space with plants and flowers because being close to nature always gives us a feeling of relaxation. Hang photos and art that make you smile. Gallery walls are very trendy. Create something invigorating, inspiring and personal. Invest in comfortable furniture that you love and think about its design, it can be fun, whimsical and bold.
