About

I love hydrangeas and dopamine decor, so I tried putting them together. If you're unfamiliar with that concept, aestheticsofjoy.com has a great definition: “As a decorating philosophy, dopamine decor emphasizes using bright colors, bold patterns, and inviting textures to create a space that brings you joy. The idea is that each item of decor provides a little hit of pleasure in the brain, and that layering many of these pleasurable items together creates an environment that boosts your overall mental health.”
