Dopamine Decor – get the feel good factor in your home with Brewers

Dopamine is the feel-good chemical which is released in the brain – so why wouldn’t you want to use your home to create a dose of dopamine?

Brewers Decorator Centres have put together some schemes inspired by things that make us all happy. Using colours from Albany, each brings nothing but joy into our living spaces. Available exclusively at Brewers Decorator Centres they are certain to bring a bit of colour to these dull January days!

The dopamine décor colour palette

For each look, Brewers have used a base palette of four colours that evoke feelings of joy:

Butternut – a warm and inviting peach

Lip Gloss – an energetic pink

Thirst Quencher – a vibrant aqua

Cypress – a lush green

Whimsical Waves “I absolutely adore living by the sea. I find whenever I’m near the ocean, I feel more uplifted and relaxed, so bringing this into the home is a great way to feel joy. I have hand painted waves using Cypress and Thirst Quencher to create an under the sea feeling in a really uplifting and whimsical way…it’s giving mermaid who has discovered lost treasures of the sea vibes!”  Dani, email editor.

I have created a design inspired by Scandinavian folk art that feels very organic and illustrative, telling a story in its own right. I love being surrounded by flora and fauna, so I wanted to incorporate this within my design. I enjoyed painting the wall just as much as the final result and love the raw quality of the final result. This shows how beautiful the decorating process can be, creating a space that fuels your creativity.” Gemma, content editor.

One Of A Kind Ombre was the result of colours being custom mixed (Image: Brewers) One Of A Kind Ombre “The Albany colours really reminded me of the colours found in nature, all the way from the sky to the sea. I find plant life, water and sunsets really calming and wanted to create the same sense of calm within my living space. I also wanted to celebrate the graduation of colour that can be found in our natural world, so I decided to use the paint technique of ombre to demonstrate this within the scheme.”  Jackie, colour expert.

Euphoric vibes with Honeydew and Soot colour palette (Image: Brewers) Sensational Stripes “Bold statements and bright colours bring me infinite joy. I am very graphical in nature because of my job, so strong prints that showcase colour make me very happy – especially when I get to design them! I love the use of stripes within decorating and find the masking tape peeling so satisfying and I knew I wanted to incorporate as many geometric shapes as possible! I love nothing more than dancing to music from the 90s, so I wanted to create a space where I could let loose and feel utter euphoria.” Emma, head of studio.

A sense of fun with Palace Dreams wallpaper (Image: Brewers) Worldly Wanderer “I love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit many places during my lifetime. When I’m editing, I like to be in a space that feels really inspirational to me which is why I wanted to base my design around my passion for travelling. When I spotted the Albany wallpaper, Palace Dreams, I knew I wanted to base my whole scheme around it. I wanted the space to bring about a sense of fun so decided to sponge and flick layers of colour to complement the wallpaper. Decorating can be really hard work so it was great to have a bit of fun with this one!” Daniel, photographer.
