Dopamine Dressing Your Garden

Take your dopamine dressing to a new level.

Dopamine dressing is a trend that has taken off over recent months and if you don’t know, it is dressing in a way that brings you joy. Frequently this means people embrace bright colours or patterns or playful dressing. There are no rules it is all about what makes you feel confident and happy and the connection between what you wear and your emotional state. We say why limit that to what you are wearing why not extend it to your outdoor space by dopamine dressing your garden too. Here are some simple ways to get creative and have fun.

Plants

Start with the planting. Osteospermum come in a range of amazing colours and with their daisy like heads they are little bursts of happiness. They’re long flowering too.

Paint

Cuprinol have some amazing paint colours to spread some joy. Add colour to your fence or shed. Pick your favourite or why not use all of them? If you are not ready to commit to a large area you can paint smaller objects like bird boxes or pots to add dopamine triggering pops of pleasure.
