00:00Do vibrant interiors and playful home decorations give you a boost of dopamine but you don't know
00:04why? Allow me to explain. I'm style editor Devin and this is everything you need to know about
00:08dopamine decor in 60 seconds. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a trend known as dopamine dressing took
00:12over social media. Named after the feel-good neurotransmitter dopamine, the trend gave people
00:17an emotional boost of excitement during such a bleak time by encouraging them to dress in
00:21colorful outfits. Like many fashion trends, dopamine dressing trickled into the world of
00:25interior design and was renamed dopamine decor. In interiors, this involved dressing the home
00:29with joy in mind, like painting walls in bold colors, choosing pattern furnishings, or styling
00:33tabletops with fun trinkets. While the name is new, the idea behind dopamine decor isn't. People have
00:38been designing their interior spaces with joy-inducing decor for decades. It was just never given an
00:42official title. Dopamine decor is inherently personal, so that means it can look different
00:46from interior to interior. For some, this might involve pattern drenching a room with a maximalist
00:50print, like the floral ceiling and walls in this living room. For others, it might involve decorating
00:54with fun furnishings that bring a smile to your face, like the bow-detailed pillows in this bedroom.
00:59Try the dopamine decor trend for yourself by styling your home with things that give you
01:02a shot of dopamine and speak to your interests. After all, the essence of the trend is about
01:06expressing yourself through decor choices that genuinely make you happy. And there you have
01:09it, the dopamine decor trend in 60 seconds.
