Dopamine Decor
Boost your mood with feel-good lightingKnown as the feel-good hormone, the neurotransmitter dopamine is part of the brain's reward system and contributes to the feelings of pleasure, motivation, and satisfaction. Dopamine decorating is based on the assumption that there's a link between interior design and the release of dopamine, meaning that joy-inducing spaces can positively influence our mood and overall well-being. By introducing vibrant colours, playful designs and warm, inviting light, the dopamine decor trend aims at creating spaces that radiate a positive energy and deep sense of joy while emphasising pleasurable items that make us truly happy.

Feel-Good Pendant Lights
With their vibrant colours and cheerful shapes, these pendant lights bring positive vibes into the interior. Nuances from yellow to green, from red to turquoise create a dynamic, lively feel-good atmosphere that unfolds its full effect in harmony with warm white light. Even on rainy winter days, these feel-good lights will lift your mood!

Cheerful Table Lamps
Bold, bright colours and also surfaces in trendy glossy chic. This brings a good mood into every cosy corner of our four walls. The mushroom shape in the vibe of the flower power era is particularly popular with the happy lights for display. With these highlights, it's hard to get too downbeat.

Mood-Boosting Ceiling Lights
With the dopamine decor trend, it can't be too colourful. We are very fond of ceiling lights that combine several bright colours and banish the dreariness from our rooms. Warm white light is particularly flattering to the colourful nuances and brings the necessary feel-good factor into the interior.

Something to touch: new colour trend Gime Gummy
A particularly exciting offshoot of the dopamine decor trend is now also giving us pure happy vibes on a tactile level: rubber and jelly aesthetics in bright colours are conquering interior design. What Generation Z and millennials have long loved in accessories, beauty and food is increasingly being translated into interior design with flexible, elastic, slightly transparent surfaces with a "soft-touch feel".
For lighting, this means that luminaires can become more playful. Organic shapes, gently curved silhouettes, translucent materials and milky, shimmering textures are reminiscent of jelly and gummy bear aesthetics. The light appears softer, almost "melting", colours appear more intense, but never harsh. Instead of sober function, the result is an emotional lighting experience that makes rooms appear lively, sensual and positively charged - in the spirit of Dopamine Decor.

Joy-Inducing Wall Lights
If you are looking to embrace the dopamine decor trend by introducing bold colours, opt for wall lights in shades of red, green, yellow, or turquoise. Whether used as standalone pieces or in a set, wall lights in vivid colours create striking highlights that allow us to truly elevate our living spaces. Materials ranging from glass to metal, paired with imaginative shapes, add fun and variety.

Colourful Floor Lamps
With colourful floor lamps, you can easily add a mood-boosting aesthetic to any space. In minimalist interiors, they add bold, eye-catching accents without overwhelming the space. We love these cheerful contrasts in single-colour chic, which can be found in cosy blankets, sofa cushions and wall prints.

Vibrant Outdoor Lights
Dopamine Decor doesn't end at the patio door: brightly coloured outdoor lights bring colour, energy and a good mood to the outdoor area. Whether colourful wall lights on the façade, pendant lights above the terrace or mobile table lights for relaxed lounge zones - light becomes a cheerful statement. Bright colours and warm lighting moods turn balconies, gardens and patios into lively feel-good spaces in the open air.
