If there’s one thing almost everyone on earth can agree on, it’s that we all want to be happier. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding you, though, there are little things you can do to cultivate brightness in your daily life. The newest fix found on the internet? Dopamine decoration.
Dopamine decor refers to decorating your home in a way that uplifts your mood, through the use of brain-pleasing colors, textures and patterns. As we know, dopamine is generally considered the ‘happy’ hormone, and boosts “mood, motivation, pleasure and productivity. It’s important for physical movement and balance; is linked with high sexual drive and healthy digestive and cognitive function; and can even prevent the risk of mental health problems and disorders.
Color psychology has been around for years, and proves color can directly impact our moods and emotions. It also influences how food tastes, sleep schedules, and how we feel about a brand or product! Studies have discovered that bright, beautifully bold colours such as pink, red, orange and yellow are known to be particularly effective at stimulating dopamine release, which in turn, is associated with positive emotions such as joy, excitement and happiness.
