rainbow room progress!

This has quickly become my favorite room in the house. Leaning into over-the-top color has been surprisingly freeing and every time I walk in, my mood lifts instantly. My work-from-home office is in one corner and - since that’s where I spend the majority of my waking hours - it got tackled first, but the rest of the room is really starting to come together.

Next up: finishing the doors to my son’s room and ours.

Best part? Every time my toddler bursts out of his room, he lights up and yells “RAINBOW!!” Honestly, that joy makes every brushstroke worth it. 🌈🥰

... Read moreSince diving headfirst into this rainbow room project, I've had so many people ask me about creating their own vibrant spaces! It really is about infusing your life with endless colors and embracing that 'dopamine decor' vibe. For me, it started with wanting a space that genuinely lifted my mood, especially for my home office nook where I spend so much time. Seeing the transformation from a plain room to one with a vibrant rainbow-striped wall and an arched doorway with rainbow trim has been incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking about creating your own colorful oasis, especially a rainbow-themed room, let's talk about some ideas! One popular question I get is, 'what wall art styles complement rainbow-themed room decor?' I personally love mixing playful elements with clean lines. Think abstract art with geometric shapes in complementary colors, or whimsical illustrations that capture the joy of childhood. For a maximalist approach, gallery walls filled with colorful prints, framed textiles, or even unique sculptural pieces can really elevate the space. Don't be afraid to incorporate textures too – a shaggy multi-colored rug, like the one in my office, adds so much warmth and fun! For those of you looking for 'girls room paint ideas' or even '1 month baby decoration at home,' a rainbow theme is absolutely perfect! Instead of painting every wall, you could create a stunning accent wall with wide, soft rainbow stripes. Or, consider painting an 'awkward wall shape' or a recessed area in a bold, single color, then adding rainbow accents through decals or carefully painted trim. That's what I'm doing with some of my architectural features, turning what was once a plain spot into a focal point. And let's not forget the furniture! Queries like 'ice cream table' pop up, and it makes total sense – playful, colorful furniture is key. Look for pieces in pastel or vibrant hues, or even consider upcycling existing furniture with a fresh coat of paint. Imagine a little table painted with a gradient of colors or even just a bright, cheerful yellow! Even small details make a huge difference, like updating a plain door handle to a polished brass one with a clear glass doorknob, and then adding rainbow stripes to the door edge itself, just like I'm planning. The beauty of dopamine decor is that it's all about what makes you happy. It’s not just about the 'couleur dopamine' (dopamine color) on the walls, but how the entire space makes you feel. My biggest tip is to start small if you're unsure. Add colorful throw pillows, a vibrant blanket, or a piece of art. Then, if you love it, gradually introduce more color. My little one yelling "RAINBOW!!" every time he sees it truly reinforces that every brushstroke, every decision, is worth it. It’s creating a home filled with joy and personality, one colorful step at a time! What colorful touches are you dreaming of for your space?
