How To Rock Dopamine Decor?
First, go for bright, cheerful colors like yellow, orange, and pink. These colors are known to boost dopamine levels in the brain. Patterns and textures can also be used to create a dopamine-friendly space. Think of geometric shapes, stripes, or anything else that catches your eye. When it comes to furniture and accessories, keep things simple and clean-lined. Too much clutter will only serve to overwhelm your senses and decrease dopamine levels.
