When overhauling your abode with ‘calm’ and ‘soothing’ tones, inject some juju vibes into your space with decor pieces that are equal parts sprightly and playful.
Think of artefacts that truly make you happy (we aren’t asking you to bring back your Miley Cyrus posters!). Rather, discover and curate pieces that spark joy and feel personal.

IMAGINE entering your home after a long day and finding your brain cells buzzing back to life...
Thanks to ‘dopamine decor’. Dopamine is the ‘happy hormone’ that is responsible for feelings of well-being and it spikes when you experience something pleasurable, such as buying a new painting or eating an ice cream.

And while you are manifesting your dream home, collecting li’l pops of happy-go-lucky pieces is a welcome pastime. Even better, gift these to the newly married couple in your circle, and sit in their homes and thoughts forever. These sculptural pieces also make for great gifts for the bae. Think of a cheery Lover’s Eyes vase from Lladró.

Or, if you wish to walk on the wild side, consider wallpaper from UDC Homes with rampant zebras. May we suggest cosying up with Gucci’s blended wool cushion featuring a teddy bear in the boudoir? If whoever you are gifting this to is not a maximalist, adding a standout piece for a subtle impact will equally classify as dopamine décor.
Either way, decking up a home shouldn’t be tough because the best part about this trend is that there are no rules. You call the shots and pick the colour, texture and even patterns.
