If you're tired of hearing that your home has to be white, muted and minimalist, then this style is for you. Maximalism, also known as dopamine decor, is all about surrounding yourself with the things that make you happy. Colours, patterns and personal finds are allowed to take centre stage, and the result is a home with character and plenty of life.

What is dopamine decor?
Dopamine decor is the idea that your interior should give you a little happiness boost. Instead of choosing safe, neutral tones, you choose the colours and objects that spark a feeling in you. It's maximalism's playful little sister, personal, optimistic and completely free of rules about "good and bad".
Colour without fear
The first step is to let go of your fear of colour. A colourful vase, a patterned rug or a pair of candlesticks in contrasting colours can lift an entire room. Choose colours you love, not ones that "match".
Pattern mixing
Maximalism thrives on pattern mixing. Stripes, florals and graphics are welcome to meet in the same room. The secret is to let them share a colour or two, so it all hangs together. Fun vases and animal-shaped vases are perfect building blocks.
Collect what you love
A maximalist home tells a story. Collect porcelain figurines, decorations and finds from travels and flea markets. Grouped collections look stronger than single scattered objects.
Balance, so it doesn't become a mess
More is more, but not chaos. Give the eye a few places to rest, keep the colour palette reasonably coherent, and edit as you go. Find plenty of colourful finds in fun things for the home at Dims Studio.
