Hej everyone,
have you ever felt like your home could use a little more joie de vivre and personality? Then we have just the thing for you: The current interior trend for 2025, also known as 'Dopamine Decor,' will give your living space a burst of color full of nostalgia and individuality. This trend is far removed from minimalism and celebrates the uniqueness of vintage aesthetics.
Colorful nostalgia
'Dopamine Decor' harnesses the power of color to evoke positive emotions and give your home a whole new character. Imagine warm yellows, bold pinks, and earthy greens adorning your walls, furniture, and accessories. These colors are reminiscent of the '60s and '70s and bring the nostalgic touch that characterizes this aesthetic. Combining these colors with timeless designs creates an atmosphere that is both energizing and calming, transforming your home into a truly feel-good space. A perfect example of this is our glass vase by Bengt Edenfalk for Kosta Boda,Sweden .
Retro furniture and antiques
Retro furniture and antiques are a core element of Dopamine Decor. These special pieces aren't just a visual highlight; they also tell stories. Whether it's your grandfather's worn leather armchair or a unique decorative piece from the 1950s, every vintage piece adds character and depth to a room. Not to mention the sustainability that comes with buying used furnishings! Reusing old things saves resources and is also environmentally friendly. So leave minimalism behind and allow yourself to fill your living spaces with these historic objects. This decorative bowl from the 1970s by Tauno Wirkkala from Finland goes perfectly with this.
Tips for your own Dopamine Decor
Wondering how to incorporate this vibrant trend into your own home? Here are some tips to spark your inspiration:
-
Be bold: Don't be afraid of bold colors! Try painting a wall in a rich shade or add accents with decorative elements like the Beak Vase by Ingeborg Lundin for Orrefors,Sweden.

Mix and match: Combine different vintage pieces with modern elements. An antique mirror above a modern sofa, for example, can be a real eye-catcher. So can a vintage ceramic bowl by Thomas Hellström,Sweden , on the coffee table.

Personal touches: Decorate your space with things that are important to you and reflect your style. These can be heirlooms, works of art, or simply things that make you happy. Often, even small things can have a big impact, like this paperweight by Göran Wärff for Kosta Boda,Sweden .
With these tips, you can transform your home into a space that reflects your personality and exudes the nostalgic charm of times gone by. 'Dopamine Decor' is the perfect trend for those who dare to express their individuality while appreciating the beauty of vintage design.
