Dopamine Decor: Colourful and quirky homeware piece that will add personality to every room


by Sarah Gill
13th Jun 2023

From vases and plant pots to mirrors and wall art, here are some mood-boosting accessories that will make your home a happier place to be.

Dopamine dressing is fast becoming a well-known approach to fashion, but what about dopamine decor?

Applying that same colour philosophy to homeware, dopamine decor is all about incorporating vibrant shades, bold patterns, and quirky accessories into each room in order to spark joy and fill your heart with happiness.

It’s definitely a maximalist approach to interior decorating, but its mood-boosting effects can impact the energy of a home as a whole, and leave anyone who passes through the space feeling a little bit more buoyant — which can only be a good thing when the world around us can oftentimes seem quite bleak.

While you could jump right in the deep end with ‘70s wallpaper, colour block furniture, and mosaic tiling, we’ve rounded up some home accessories that can be added here and there, and moved around until your space feels just right.

From quirky vases to eye-catching throw cushions, shop our dopamine decor edit below…
