These Are the Home Décor Trends We’re Tracking After Las Vegas Market

2025.03.03

While browsing the newest brand to join Ivystone’s showroom at Las Vegas Market – the fun-loving, brightly colored home and lifestyle brand Hazel Mazel – my tour guide, Ivystone’s Stephanie Stoltz, and I joked that dopamine décor and decorating had really gone to the next level with brands like Hazel Mazel.

Dopamine décor, a home styling offshoot of the TikTok-famous “dopamine dressing” trend which encouraged participants to wear clothes that make them feel good regardless of trends or “fashionability,” encourages people to decorate their homes with personal pleasure in mind over set aesthetics or styles. So, if a bright pink paint that reminds you of a favorite flower and a big print of your favorite vacation spot make you smile, dopamine décor would encourage you to paint your living room walls that color and pop that painting up, too. Dopamine décor is all about tapping into and promoting your brain’s reward system and into – both literally and figuratively – your body’s store of dopamine, or the neurotransmitter that acts on areas of the brain to give you feelings of pleasure, satisfaction and motivation.

And, according to research by neurobiologists like Semir Zeki and Tomohiro Ishizu, there is some scientific truth to the idea of decorating to promote dopamine production. Zeki and Ishizu’s research has shown that when people look at aesthetically pleasing art, the brain’s reward center lights up just like it does when people are in love. And while this reaction may not be explained just by dopamine – there is a complex mix of hormones and neurotransmitters involved – the point still stands. Aesthetically pleasing things literally bring people joy.

Regardless of the hard science found or not found behind the trending style phenomenon, it was hard to deny dopamine décor’s impact on home décor at markets this winter. Across Las Vegas Market, we saw more color, bold patterns and accents than we have in years. From traditionally neutral wooden bowls and serving trays getting colorful enameled upgrades to bold cabana stripes popping up all over, there was fun and vibrant dopamine-producing products to be found in nearly every showroom. To help you stay on top of the latest style – whether you call it maximalism, dopamine décor or just plain fun – we’re breaking down all the micro-trends and products we spotted in Las Vegas Market that fall under the dopamine décor umbrella.

Bubbly

Big or little, bubbly accents are showing up all over glassware, pottery, lighting and other home accents and are making a bold statement. We especially loved seeing Glitterville’s interpretation of this trend in its new cake stands and candles because it combined the multicolored glassware trend we saw all over market, too!

Cabana Stripes

Classic and eye-catching, big, bold stripes in vivid colors were found all over product for the home. Drawing up memories of leisurely beach or pool days and funky midcentury-modern Palm Springs, Calif., hotels, these stripes can work in modern interpretations and vintage-inspired designs.

Multicolored Glassware

Colored, textured tumblers, wine glasses and specialty barware have been in vogue for a while – and we even did some colorful glassware spotting during Atlanta Market – but these new multicolored pieces are “upping the ante” on the trend. These glassware pieces are defined by their whimsical mix-and-match use of multiple colors and textures, making them perfect for the eclectic tablescapes that have grown more popular over the last few years.

Enameled Wood

We saw more enameled wood options than ever before at this round of markets. From seasonal platters to brightly patterned bowls for everyday use, product designers were clearly looking for new ways to add pops of color and visual interest to traditionally neutral wooden pieces.
