Stimulate happy hormones with an interiors trend that maximises on the mood-boosting benefits of colour, pattern and texture

1 1 JOYFUL PINK PAINT

It’s not news that colour can affect your mood but the dopamine décor trend doesn’t just take a single hue to brighten up a room and its occupants, rather it embraces a rainbow of shades to create a happy cocktail. Eco-conscious paint brand YesColours celebrates shades that are designed to keep positive vibes, such as Joyful Pink (pictured), Passionate Olive Green and Calming Yellow.

2 2 ABSTRACT FRAMED PRINT

Dopamine décor is a trend that wears its ‘fun’ badge with pride, so set aside reserved inclinations and embrace the cheer. If you’re not ready for a total dopamine overhaul, and would rather add in more subtle elements of this trend into your space, this abstract painting captures the trend perfectly with its mix of colour and sense of freedom. £35, abstracthouse.com

3 TUFTED CUSHION

Geometric designs tend to induce feelings of calm so it’s no surprise that the dopamine décor trend features plenty of arches, curves and circles. The regularity of geometric design is soothing to the soul and this tufted cushion features playful curves against a joyful shade of yellow, triggering thoughts of sunny days.

GLORIA TABLE LAMP

Alongside its celebration of colour and pattern, the dopamine décor trend also takes a dive into the sense of touch, and texture plays a key role in getting this look right – think soft, comforting velvets, smooth ceramics or bubble-shaped accessories. This cut-glass ball of magenta is paired with a silk shade wrapped in velvet tape for what amounts to a sensory overload. £180, pooky.com
