Dopamine Décor - How To Get That Feel Good Factor In Your Home

The dopamine decor colour palette:

For each look, we have used a base palette of four colours that evoke feelings of joy:

Butternut – a warm and inviting peach

Lip Gloss – an energetic pink

Thirst Quencher – a vibrant aqua

Cypress – a lush green

“I absolutely adore living by the sea. I find whenever I’m near the ocean, I feel more uplifted and relaxed, so bringing this into the home is a great way to feel joy. I have hand painted waves using Cypress and Thirst Quencher to create an under the sea feeling in a really uplifting and whimsical way…it’s giving mermaid who has discovered lost treasures of the sea vibes!”

“I love a good fairytale and spend hours getting lost in a really good book. I have created a design inspired by Scandinavian folk art that feels very organic and illustrative, telling a story in its own right. I love being surrounded by flora and fauna, so I wanted to incorporate this within my design. I enjoyed painting the wall just as much as the final result and love the raw quality of the final result. This shows how beautiful the decorating process can be, creating a space that fuels your creativity”

“The Albany colours really reminded me of the colours found in nature, all the way from the sky to the sea. I find plant life, water and sunsets really calming and wanted to create the same sense of calm within my living space. I also wanted to celebrate the graduation of colour that can be found in our natural world, so I decided to use the paint technique of ombre to demonstrate this within the scheme.”

“Bold statements and bright colours bring me infinite joy. I am very graphical in nature because of my job, so strong prints that showcase colour make me very happy – especially when I get to design them! I love the use of stripes within decorating and find the masking tape peeling so satisfying and I knew I wanted to incorporate as many geometric shapes as possible! I love nothing more than dancing to music from the 90s, so I wanted to create a space where I could let loose and feel utter euphoria.”

“I love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit many places during my lifetime. When I’m editing, I like to be in a space that feels really inspirational to me which is why I wanted to base my design around my passion for travelling. When I spotted the Albany wallpaper, Palace Dreams, I knew I wanted to base my whole scheme around it. I wanted the space to bring about a sense of fun so decided to sponge and flick layers of colour to complement the wallpaper. Decorating can be really hard work so it was great to have a bit of fun with this one!”
