Dopamine décor is about decorating your home in a way that makes you happy. By using the textures, colours and items that spark joy, you can boost your dopamine levels, resulting in a sense of well-being. This can be applied to any room in your home, including the kitchen.
Nostalgic Décor
The idea of dopamine décor originally came from children’s spaces, where they are surrounded by items they love. Nostalgia can play a big part in choosing your kitchen’s style. You may choose a traditional farmhouse style or go for a retro interior design. Of course, if none of this brings you joy and you love a sleek, futuristic look, that is what to go for. If you’re stuck for ideas, talk to some kitchen refurbishment companies to find out what is possible. An internet search will reveal what is in your area. For example, if you are Surrey look for kitchen refurbishment in Surrey and you should get results like thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk/.
Colour Blocking
Use the colours that you love and that spark joy. There are no rules in dopamine décor. Colours can impact us. For example, pink is said to reassure the nervous system, while blue is a soothing shade and red stimulates the appetite. When choosing colours it may be worth considering colour psychology to get the vibe you are looking for in your kitchen.
Favourite Items
Even if you favour the minimalist look, there is no need to scrimp on the items you love when using dopamine décor. Keep these items in the kitchen, whether they are practical items like mugs and saucepans or purely decorative such as pictures, ornaments or plants. In this way, you can fill your kitchen with your personality. Conversely, try to get rid of the items that do not bring you joy. These will simply leave your kitchen looking cluttered and you feeling anxious. Nor do you want your kitchen to become a space where you have to keep things you do not love. Instead make your kitchen a place for pleasure.
