“Vibrant colours, bold patterns, eclectic prints, tactile textures, an unmissable vibe that is riddled with nostalgia. This is dopamine decor in a nutshell.”
For the uninitiated, dopamine is a neurotransmitter or chemical messenger which when released into the brain induces feelings of happiness. “The dopamine decor trend is all about vivid colours, clashing patterns, maximalism and pure happiness. This trend brings back memories of a carefree childhood when the bedroom walls had your favourite celebrity posters, playful signages, eccentric lights and objects that elicit a deep sense of joy. Eschewing from the concept of minimalism, dopamine decor is about going all out. It is all about layering one’s space in umpteen textures, colours and patterns and anything that brings joy. While it may seem chaotic, it still ties together into an aesthetically pleasing design grammar,” says Saniya Kantawala, principal designer and founder, Saniya Kantawala Design (SKD).
