The design of the bed will further intrigue you with a headboard subtly curved and upholstered in velvety quilted fabric in a rich, dark green hue. It’s a modern creation with a gentle nod to bygone eras, a bed that harmonizes beautifully with the opulence of rich woods like mahogany and mango, and complements them with jewel tones.

    The Onorato Sectional Sofa, with its sinuous curves reminiscent of pebbles shaped by the sea, is an ideal choice for interiors inspired by coastal living. Last but not least, there’s the Brigid A Coffee Table, a true embodiment of rustic-yet-modern. Its chunky form and scalloped edges make a bold statement.

    “Dopamine decor” is a term used to describe interior design choices that aim to stimulate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, by creating a visually appealing and emotionally uplifting environment.
    Here are some ways to incorporate dopamine decor:
    Color Palette: Choose colors that evoke positive emotions. Vibrant hues like blues, greens, and yellows can create a cheerful atmosphere.
    Natural Light: Maximize natural light to improve mood. Open curtains, use sheer fabrics, and position mirrors strategically to reflect light.
    Texture and Comfort: Include plush cushions, soft rugs, and cozy blankets to create a sense of comfort and relaxation.
    Art and Creativity: Hang artwork that resonates with you emotionally. Abstract, colorful, and visually stimulating pieces can elicit positive feelings.
    Sensory Elements: Use scented candles, essential oils, or incense to engage the sense of smell and create a soothing environment.
    Organized Space: A clutter-free environment can reduce stress and anxiety. Proper organization promotes a sense of control and calmness.
    Positive Affirmations: Decorate with positive quotes, affirmations, or motivational artwork to uplift your spirits.
    Functional Design: Arrange furniture in a way that promotes easy movement and functionality. A well-organized space can reduce frustration and increase efficiency.
    Variety and Novelty: Incorporate elements that capture your attention and pique your curiosity. Unique or unexpected decor pieces can trigger feelings of excitement.
