I hope the whole dopamine decor (or otherwise maximalism) interior design trend lasts for a long time. It seems like an evolution out of pastel Danish or even a pushback against what seems like corporate minimalism (in your house?). But I wonder if it will get a similar other pushback for seeming "juvenile" or "materialistic" or whatever else. Please don't move on before I can buy my house!

Got asked what dopamine decor looks like and so I will post some curated images courtesy of Pinterest dot gov:
A photograph of a living room: it has brightly-colored plush furniture, pastel pink walls, and many framed pictures in a cartoonish style A photograph of the end of a yellow couch in front of a pale orange wall. The couch is covered in brightly colored pillows and sitting next to a pink end table that looks like a locker. A photograph of a living room taken through a doorway, showing a couch covered in pillows, a side table, and a coffee table sitting on a colorful rug. The wall behind the couch is covered in bright paintings.
Basically, "dopamine decor" refers to a maximalist design style that prioritizes color, patterns, novelty, and statement pieces rather than something "cohesive". As I understand it, it's meant to prioritize "I like this thing and it makes me happy" over "I think these things match each other", hence the name. It can be a little clashing and overwhelming sometimes but I think that's the point.

It's definitely grown on me lately! At first I was worried that the colors would clash too much or seem garish but I think that's the point and it always seems to work out. It's nice that there's a style dedicated to kitsch and excess in this way. 😊
