So, what is Dopamine?

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in our brains associated with pleasure and reward. When dopamine levels are low, we can feel sluggish, depressed, or even angry. But when they are high we feel motivated, excited and engaged. By incorporating bold colours, playful patterns, and textures you love into your space, you can create an environment that triggers the release of dopamine, boosting your mood and making you feel good every time you walk in the door… sounds good, eh?

How can you use Dopamine Decor to boost your mood and create a joyful home?

Here's the beauty of Dopamine Decor: there are no hard and fast rules! It's all about what makes you happy. There's no one-size-fits-all approach! And it doesn’t have to be expensive. Even though the statements can seem bold, they don’t necessarily have to be big in size, and you don’t have to start over from scratch to start achieving the dopamine effect … adding small pops of joyous colour, scattering pattern and slipping in some sumptuous texture to your current decor is a great way to start getting those neurotransmitters firing!

Why Inkabilly Coasters are Perfect for Dopamine Decor:

Bursting with Happy Colour: Inkabilly coasters come in a kaleidoscope of colours and designs. From retro florals to playful geometric patterns, there's a coaster to match every happy mood. Find ones that complement your existing décor or use them as a starting point to create a whole new look.

Vibrant Patterns: Don't be afraid to mix and match! The beauty of Dopamine Decor is the playful use of pattern. Coasters are the perfect way to add a touch of personality and visual interest to your coffee table, kitchen counter or home bar.

Retro is In: Retro designs are a big part of the Dopamine Decor aesthetic. Inkabilly coasters feature classic patterns and motifs that add a touch of nostalgia and instant happiness. 

Small Changes, Big Impact: Don't underestimate the power of small touches! Adding a set of brightly patterned coasters to your coffee table or even just one to your office desk is a simple and affordable way to inject some joy into your personal space.

Beyond the Coffee Table: Think outside the box! Use our coasters as mini decorative pieces on shelves, bookcases or mantlepieces. They also make fabulous mini display stands for small plants, fun figurines, vintage pottery, or even candles (all our coasters are heat resistant!).

Mix and Match: The beauty of Dopamine Decor is the freedom to play. Don't be afraid to combine different patterns and textures. Pair your Inkabilly coasters with other colourful and patterned elements, like funky cushions or a bold table runner.

Remember, your home is your sanctuary. So fill it with things that bring you joy and make you feel good. With a little creativity (and some help from Inkabilly coasters), you can be on your way to a happier, more dopamine-filled home in no time!
