Animal-Friendly Ways to Do the Dopamine Décor Trend
Dopamine décor is a trendy home design style that involves surrounding yourself with colors, textures, and objects that make you smile.
What Are the Benefits of Vegan Dopamine Décor?
Dopamine is essential for motivation, feeling good, and enjoying life. And when your space is kind to animals, you gain another layer of peace knowing your joy isn’t built on suffering.
Can You Actually Get Dopamine From Décor?
Color psychology claims that bright, cheery colors like yellow can lead to feelings of happiness. And unlike the popular clustercore and grandmacore, dopamine decor is all about the color.
How to Do Dopamine Décor Without Hurting Animals
Kitchen: Stock your fridge and pantry with vibrant, whole vegan foods like sun-drenched mangoes, lush leafy greens, juicy blueberries, and yes—decadent, dairy-free chocolate. Studies show that healthy vegan foods can improve psychological well-being.
Deck your kitchen in joyful, vegan, eco-friendly cookware—bright pots and pans that make your inner child smile.
Avoid décor made with animals’ skin, like cow’s skin barstools. Instead, go for reclaimed wood or vegan leather.
Your kitchen can be a sanctuary of compassion, where no animal must suffer for your style or sustenance. Check out some of our favorite vegan recipes!
Bedroom: Your bedroom should be a dreamy place, so let your creativity shine. Choose bedding made with organic cotton, bamboo, or Tencel—not silk or wool. Silkworms are living beings, not silk machines—they’re boiled alive just so humans can steal the cocoons they built to transform into moths. Sheep are gentle, emotional animals who scream as workers violently shear them for home goods, often leaving them cut and bleeding.
And as a vegan, you should sleep soundly: A new study published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine discovered that eating processed meats and animal-derived foods may aggravate sleep issues such as obstructive sleep apnea.
Living Room: This is where dopamine décor can truly come alive. Add bright throws, funky pillows, and bold art pieces by vegan artists.
Skip down-filled cushions and wool rugs. Down-filled cushions are stuffed with feathers ripped from birds, and wool rugs come at the cost of sheep who workers beat, cut, and exploit. So opt for vegan items instead.
Have an animal companion? Choose vegan, safe, and colorful products, beds, and toys.
Don’t forget vegan candles (beeswax-free!) scented with essential oils like citrus or vanilla for a mood-boosting ambiance—just be mindful that citrus oils can be unsafe for animal companions.
Whole-Home Tips
• Support vegan artists, designers, and businesses.
• Choose vegan paintbrushes.
• Add houseplants—greenery might boost dopamine and purify the air. (Make sure plants are animal-friendly, if you have animal companions in your home.)
• Display positive affirmations or art that makes you smile.
• Be sure your home goods are free from animal-derived ingredients like casein, beeswax, and gelatin.
