Our Story
Paint before Pixels
In a world where so much design begins on a screen, every Dopamine Design Co. collection starts the same way – with paint, paper and a brush.
Inspired by the landscapes, coastlines and gardens that surround us, each design is hand-painted before being carefully developed into wallpaper, fabric and lifestyle collections. It's a slower, more thoughtful process that celebrates craftsmanship and creates artwork with warmth, texture and personality.
Every brushstroke tells a story, and every collection is designed to make you feel something.
Designs that tells a story
At Dopamine Design Co., we believe the spaces we live in should be as joyful and individual as the people who inhabit them.
From the wild beauty of the Welsh coastline to nostalgic memories, botanical discoveries and imagined characters, each collection is inspired by moments worth noticing. Rather than following trends, we create timeless designs with a strong sense of place and personality—pieces that invite curiosity and spark conversation.
Whether displayed on wallpaper, fabric or fashion, every design belongs to a larger story.
A single painting can become many things.
What begins as a page in a sketchbook might evolve into a statement wallpaper, a luxurious fabric, a silk scarf or a bespoke interior commission. This considered approach allows each collection to grow naturally across different applications while maintaining its artistic integrity.
Working with homeowners, interior designers, boutique hospitality spaces and creative brands, we create designs that bring character, colour and craftsmanship into everyday spaces.
Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Lauren Deakin, founder and designer behind Dopamine Design Co. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Textile Design for Fashion & Interiors from Bath Spa University, I spent over a decade working across the creative industry, designing for fashion, homeware and commercial products.
Today, I combine that experience with my love of hand painting to create original collections for interiors, fashion and lifestyle. Every design is created with the belief that great design should do more than simply decorate a space—it should evoke emotion, tell a story and leave a lasting impression.
Looking ahead
Dopamine Design Co. is building a collection-led British design house rooted in craftsmanship, storytelling and original artwork.
As the studio continues to grow, the vision remains the same: to create hand-painted collections that transform spaces, celebrate creativity and bring joy to the everyday.
Whether through bespoke commissions, collaborations or future collections, this is only the beginning.
