In a study carried out by online furniture retailer MADE, over three-quarters (77%) of Brits believe how their home is decorated impacts their mood, however many are too scared to make the plunge into decorating with wellbeing in mind. Over half (58%) worry that styling brighter colours will result in a room that’s clashing and too busy.

Here, MADE’s head of design, Ali Edwards advises how to embrace mood-boosting interiors, revealing which room works best for the trend, and why being brave with your interior choices can make all the difference:

“In recent years, our homes have become our sanctuaries – they’re intrinsically linked to our wellbeing, as we continue to spend time working and hosting from home. That’s why it’s so important to create a space that makes you feel good, whilst ensuring it’s a reflection of your own personal style. 

“Dopamine décor relates to the idea that your interiors can positively impact your mood and, in turn, make you feel happier. Adding certain colours (and patterns) into the home like bright yellows, oranges and pinks, can leave you feeling more energised, whilst blues are said to help you feel calmer and more productive.”
