This May, we’re ditching the beige and embracing bold. The hot trend lighting up homes in 2025 is dopamine décor – and it’s all about decorating with colours, textures and patterns that spark joy.
Forget minimalism. This movement is about playful palettes, feel-good finishes, and rooms that instantly lift your mood the second you walk in. And the best part? It’s deeply personal – your home, your happy.
🎨 What is Dopamine Décor?
Think of it like colour therapy for your walls. Dopamine décor uses bold shades and statement features to create spaces that energise and inspire. Whether it’s your kitchen, hallway or even your downstairs loo, no room is too small for a colour confidence boost.
💡 Top Dopamine Décor Ideas for May:
- Sunset orange kitchens – full of life and warmth
- Pink feature walls in hallways or bedrooms for a pop of positivity
- Sky blue ceilings or colour-blocked bathrooms to surprise and delight
- Pattern play: stripes, murals, checkerboards, or contrasting trim colours
This isn’t about following rules – it’s about breaking them in the best way. If a colour makes you smile, then it’s your colour. We’re here to help you bring that to life with a finish that’s as flawless as it is fun.
