For too long, the trends have been dominated by neutrals. White, off-white, beige and textured pieces have been at the center of minimalist decor trends like Japandi, hygge, coastal grandmother and other styles that have dominated our collective Pinterest boards in recent years. But now, the trends seem to be reversing. We're all rebelling against beige and embracing color again with dopamine decor, a design style that's all about bold hues and eye-popping patterns. Maximalism is back — and with a vengeance.
Dopamine decor is, as the name would suggest, a design aesthetic that's all about embracing colors, styles and decor pieces that make you the most happy. Mixing and matching is heavily encouraged. This style comes with a heaping serving of whimsy. The colors and patterns may not always go together — at least conventionally — but that's kind of the point. Dopamine decor is loud. It's a little in your face, and most of all, it's fun.
