What Is 'Dopamine Decorating'?

Similar to most Internet trends, dopamine decorating is just a fancy term for something most people already do, which is decorate their home according to their own preferences and styles. However it takes it a step further by increasing the amount of bright colors and fun patterns, or visuals that will supposedly increase your dopamine levels. In short, it's decor that makes you go, Oh, I love that!

This could mean a lot of different aesthetics for different people but mainly we're seeing a ton of colorful polka dots, accent pieces, funky shapes, and child-like color palettes.

For you, this could mean anything from painting your front door pitch black to adding a hammock in the center of your living room! Anything that boosts your happiness or brings you joy will count. It's a very general term but the idea is adorable.

For Hayleigh, this means incorporating a ton of new colors and patterns into her home, like her new fluffy checkered blankets, a realistic cat pillow, and striped cookie jars for her kitchen. And she didn't stop there! She also picked up an oversized carrot toy for her cat, a daisy-printed bath mat, and bright yellow cookware.

It's your home so you might as well make it as cozy as possible!
