Trends come and go but ever so often one will arrive and grab everyone’s attention. Love it or hate it… Dopamine Decor certainly makes an impact and can’t be ignored. This fun and exciting trend has its root in neuroscience and colour therapy and focuses on creating feel-good spaces. It’s the polar reaction to the past few years of monochromatic neutrals and brands everywhere are getting onboard the “happy-train”. I’ve been browsing SUPERBALIST for decor by H&M in search of our home’s dopamine fix and wanted to share my finds with you!

First, let’s get a clear view of what Dopamine Decor is…

Known as the “feel-good” hormone – Dopamine (with the help of serotonin, norepinephrine, oxytocin and endorphins) plays a key role in the “reward pathway” of the brain. Each time we do, see, taste, feel, smell or experience something that increases our chances of survival the reward pathway is activated and dopamine is released, making us feel pleasure. We all love the feeling of that Dopamine HIT and will keep repeating the specific action again and again. This is how we start to form habits.

In terms of decor, each item is selected to stimulate the brain in a pleasurable way. Layer after layer, adding as many pleasing items as one can to create a space that boosts your mood and overall mental health.

Think beautiful artwork, interesting and varied patterns and textures, bold, vibrant colours (be sure to include your favourites), take yourself a little less seriously, start small and enjoy exploring and creating a space that makes you want to stay.
