Dopamine Decor brings a generous dose of joy and energy into your interior. Ideal for anyone allergic to beige tones and calm patterns. We are happy to tell you how to bring this striking interior trend into your home. ## What is Dopamine Decor? From Pinterest to TikTok: are you also overwhelmed with colourful and playful interiors? Then you have probably come across it. Dopamine Decor is a new interior trend and not necessarily a style. Its purpose is to give your home a feel-good vibe and it is related to dopamine dressing, a fashion trend that celebrates the exuberance of bold colours. Both refer to the happiness chemical ‘dopamine’, which is produced in your brain when you do things that make you happy, such as exercising, eating or being in love. Strange but true: filling your interior with bright colours and cool items also increases your happiness level. The best thing about Dopamine Decor? The rules can be thrown completely overboard. The most important guideline of this trend is you. Does it make you happy? Just do it! That’s why this new trend is also seen as the absolute opposite of minimalism. - [![Laminate - Ocean+ - Jazz Light Grey](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jazz_light_grey_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_14.jpg?width=5459&height=8185&name=jazz_light_grey_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_14.jpg) Laminate - Ocean + - Jazz Light Grey](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62002503) - [![Vinyl planks - Zenn - Faro](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/faro_lvt_1219x177_berryalloc_rsh_01.jpg?width=6000&height=4125&name=faro_lvt_1219x177_berryalloc_rsh_01.jpg) Vinyl planks - Zenn - Faro](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/zenn/60002224) ## Why you should be completely in love with this style? Dopamine Decor is more than simply releasing a burst of colour into your interior. This trend also evokes memories of a carefree childhood, when your bedroom was filled with posters of your favourite celebrities, eccentric lamps and playful objects that sparked a deep sense of joy. A good dose of nostalgia, in other words. Moreover, it is both a lifestyle change and an interior style. Are the brightly coloured TikTok interiors a bit too much colourful chaos for you, but do you still want a dopamine boost? You don’t have to go all-in with this trend. Add joy-bringing items to your interior, such as travel souvenirs or small colour accents, that make you feel good when you come home. ## How do you apply Dopamine Decor in your interior? When it comes to this interior trend, there are countless ways to decorate your home. Remember: it’s all about your personal style. We are happy to share a few starting points to help you on your way. #### **1. Colour as your companion** Experiment with shades that make you happy! Be inspired by the colours of candy shops, amusement parks and retro posters. Start small, with accents such as side tables, photo frames, taps or plant pots, and then take it a step further by, for example, giving window sills, doors, cabinets or even a whole wall a bright or pastel colour. This way, you transform your space little by little into a feel-good sanctuary. - [![Vinyl tiles - Zenn - Rimini](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/rimini_lvt_914x457_berryalloc_rsh_02.jpg?width=4125&height=6000&name=rimini_lvt_914x457_berryalloc_rsh_02.jpg) Vinyl tiles - Zenn - Rimini](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/zenn/60002227) - [![Laminate - Ocean+ - Gyant XL Warm Natural](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gyant%20xl%20warm%20natural_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_2.jpg?width=4893&height=7057&name=gyant%20xl%20warm%20natural_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_2.jpg) Laminate - Ocean + - Gyant XL Warm Natural](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003119) #### **2. Go for childlike joy** As we get older, it seems as though we must leave everything playful and childlike behind. But that does not apply to this trend! Choose striking pieces of furniture or accessories that make you genuinely happy. Think of animal prints and round shapes that resemble marshmallows, candy necklaces and other treats. The crazier, the better: in a dopamine interior, everything is allowed! And yes, even that croissant lamp that puts a smile on your face deserves a spot in your home. This is how you create an authentic space that reflects your personality and stimulates all your senses. #### **3. Play with patterns** Patterns and prints bring rhythm, energy and movement into your interior and complete your dopamine decor. Mix and match different patterns for a visually rich environment. Bonus? The shapes stimulate your brain, which loves recognising patterns. Vinyl floors with a terrazzo effect fit perfectly with this style and add a playful texture without dominating the space. - [![High Pressure Floors - Original - Botticini Terrazzo](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BerryAlloc/Myfloorstyle/botticini%20terrazzo_hpf_v0_1207x198_berryalloc_dsh.jpg?width=600&height=600&name=botticini%20terrazzo_hpf_v0_1207x198_berryalloc_dsh.jpg) High Pressure Floors - Botticini Terrazzo](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/original/62002855) - [![High Pressure Floors - Original - Hasta la vista](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BerryAlloc/Myfloorstyle/hasta%20la%20vista_hpf_v0_1207x198_berryalloc_dsh.jpg?width=600&height=600&name=hasta%20la%20vista_hpf_v0_1207x198_berryalloc_dsh.jpg) High Pressure Floors - Hasta la vista](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/original/62002842) - [![Laminate - Ocean+ - Retro chic blue grey](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BerryAlloc/Myfloorstyle/retro%20chic%20blue%20grey_lam_1288x190_berryalloc_dsh.jpg?width=551&height=600&name=retro%20chic%20blue%20grey_lam_1288x190_berryalloc_dsh.jpg) Laminate - Ocean+ - Retro Chic Blue Grey](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003090) Do you want something truly unique? Combine a striking colour such as neon yellow or ruby with playful prints. Shapes inspired by the art of Keith Haring are, for example, highly recommended. Want something a bit calmer? Then choose structured patterns such as stripes. - ![Harmony Lab Colour Yellow](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/harmony%20lab%20colour_yellow%20trend%20colored%20medium_felicity_equi.ncs%20s%201080-y_gen_berryalloc_pic.jpg?width=1080&height=1080&name=harmony%20lab%20colour_yellow%20trend%20colored%20medium_felicity_equi.ncs%20s%201080-y_gen_berryalloc_pic.jpg) Harmony Lab Colour Yellow - ![Harmony Lab Colour Red](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/harmony%20lab%20colour_red%20colored%20strong%2002_amarante_equi.ncs%202570-r_gen_berryalloc_pic.jpg?width=1080&height=1080&name=harmony%20lab%20colour_red%20colored%20strong%2002_amarante_equi.ncs%202570-r_gen_berryalloc_pic.jpg) Harmony Lab Colour Red #### **4. Provide breathing space** Create organised chaos instead of colourful clutter by choosing tone-on-tone or complementary shades. Are you going for a very colourful interior? Then choose a floor that connects all the colours, such as grey concrete or a brown floor. The latter has the characteristic ability to bring colours together. This gives your statement pieces the chance to steal the show. - [![Vinyl tiles - Zenn - Bali](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bali%20sorrento_lvt_914x457_berryalloc_rsh_01.jpg?width=1375&height=2000&name=bali%20sorrento_lvt_914x457_berryalloc_rsh_01.jpg) Vinyl tiles - Zenn - Bali](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/zenn/60002259) - [![jutta_lvt_1524x228_berryalloc_rsh_02](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jutta_lvt_1524x228_berryalloc_rsh_02.jpg?width=400&height=600&name=jutta_lvt_1524x228_berryalloc_rsh_02.jpg) Vinyl plank - Spirit Soul - Jutta](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/spirit-soul/60002373) #### **5. Nicely sustainable** Dopamine decor also stands for sustainability because it encourages conscious choices. Vintage, recycled and DIY pieces bring character into your interior. Retro kitchen appliances, your grandmother’s chair or a vintage coloured-glass lamp fit perfectly within this style.
