Here’s one tip for a better start to your week. 

Hopefully, your home is already your happy place. But there’s a way to make it even happier: “dopamine decor.” The design trend — similar to “dopamine dressing” — is all about surrounding yourself with furniture, art, and other items that spark joy. Here are a few ways to open the door...

• Embrace a theme. That could be your dream vacay spot, your fave color, or the latest aesthetic — which is Scotlandcore, apparently. Think cottagecore but cozier and moodier. So consider adding patterned wallpaper and rich paint colors, like olive green or navy blue. Decorate with still-life paintings in vintage frames, as well as various antiques, heirlooms, and treasures. And if you don’t have a fireplace, get a couple candles that smell like the real deal.

• Tap into your inner artist. Of course, you could DIY. Or, if you’re not the artsy type, here’s a few tips for what to buy. Plus, some ideas for how to create a museum-worthy display.

• Make a room (or corner) of one’s own. Whether you live alone or with others, pick a spot in your home that can be your comfort zone. Make it even more cozy by adding the perfect color scheme, using lighting to boost ambiance, and layering materials like rugs and pillows.
