The Interior Design Book For A Happy Home is not your mother’s book of home design. Part basic design, part pop psychology and part meditative affirmation, an oddly constructed subtitle labels the book as Dopamine Design, which actually works very well in conveying the outlook and layout of this book.The advice given in the book is broad, but interesting and sometimes even thought-provoking. So what is Dopamine design, anyway? According to the author, it is “an interior design approach focused entirely on surrounding yourself with furniture, art, textiles, colors, and treasured keepsakes that spark joy deep within your soul. Unlike fleeting trends that come and go, dopamine decor is forever. Why? Because it’s inherently based on you – your distinctive style, favorite aesthetics, and the nostalgic pieces that never fail to make you smile.”So not exactly Bauhaus, still there is a joyous meditative quality to the book. Never mind what everyone else is doing: search inside yourself for both questions and answers to your design dilemmas.Don’t expect pictures or diagrams, dopamine design depends more on input from your heart. Readers who are on a journey of personal growth will find this one interesting.

I learned a new design style - dopamine decor, a curated design of your personal favorites. It says it's the opposite of minimalism. The color chart was helpful. The only thing I wished it had was photos. Visuals are important to me especially when it's the topic of design, but that's just me. Overall, the information was well put together and a pleasure to read.

This is a well-written book that brings together many of the design fundamentals of Dopamine décor, affording a broader view than my one-piece-at-a-time hodgepodge approach. I appreciated the author’s online access to excellent visuals demonstrating the cheerful and casual principles explained in the book. If you are looking for an enduring positive style, this is a book that offers good ideas and possibilities.

This design book is very nice. This is the kind of book that those who love designing will give anything to have. The writing is without fluff and it’s easy to follow along. The writer also made sure that no design jargon will stall anyone trying to get the techniques and implement right away. I truly love the way Sofia presented her color theory and how she ties it with your temperament. This a book for both the professional and amateur alike. For transparence, I got the ARC of this book.

This is a very in-depth and educational book that focuses on interior designing and all of the in-betweens. Overall, a great read!

The design book hasn’t one photo in it. The book isn’t hard back and it does look cheap. I bought this as a Christmas present which I don’t want to give as a gift. To be fair I’ve not read any of it but I assumed as it was a home design book there would be photos of designs they describe.
