How to embrace the Dopamine Décor trend through your flooring

Dopamine Décor is the happiness boosting decor trend that is taking over social media feeds, and it couldn’t be easier to replicate in your own home.

The trend, which involves taking a fun and adventurous approach to your home décor choices, has quickly gained popularity on TikTok as the move away from neutral and minimalist interior choices is being hailed as a way to boost happiness. 

And updating your flooring is a fantastic way to embrace the dopamine décor trends, according to Alex Heslop, Flooring Trend Expert from Flooring Superstore.

“Dopamine décor is all about decorating and furnishing your home in a way that boosts your mood, but exactly how that’s achieved will be different for everyone. It’s not just about adding bright colours everywhere, although that may ‘spark joy’ for some people. It’s more about breaking the rules and incorporating interesting patterns and textures to add interest and personality to your home. And with so many flooring options to choose from, there’s something to suit all tastes, across every room in the home.”

Mosaic hallways

“Mosaic designs have become increasingly popular over recent years – providing the perfect bridge between timeless Victorian inspired design while providing a welcome pop of colour and interest to a space. Mosaics work particularly well in smaller spaces like hallways to create a sense of space and provide an impactful welcome when you come home or you have guests visiting. It’s also sure to add an interesting twist to an array of interior styles, including the ever-popular Scandinavian and increasingly coveted mid-century modern.”

Kitchens

“Embracing natural materials when it comes to kitchen flooring and creating an environment that stimulates your senses is a great way to spark joy. And the popularity of nature-inspired patterns in our homes shows no signs of slowing down. Opt for flooring materials which replicate the patterns of natural materials, whether that be wood, marble or stone. These versatile patterns complement any space and provide an indoors outdoors feel.”

Bathrooms – colour pop

“While colour is a great way to add a touch of playfulness to your interior, if it’s not done quite right it can make a space feel overwhelming. As a smaller room, the bathroom is a great place to add a statement floor.

“Why not inject some colour into your choice of tiles to make a bold statement and showcase your personality? As well as being the focal point of a room, a pop of colour can provide added warmth and set a tone for the overall look and feel of a space.

“Warm colours like yellow, orange, pink, lavender and blues are known to evoke happiness and opting for a pastel colour palette is a great way to inject colour while complementing a more understated décor.”
