Dept of Joy

Colour therapy, but make it retail. Welcome to DEPT OF JOY, creative director Matt Setchell’s shrine to looking on the bright side of life.

It’s a shop and creative studio packed with graphic art prints, cards, and unique colour-drenched homeware. Born from a life-changing accident and built on one simple philosophy – always keep a little joy in your back pocket – the shop is a whole mood.

The colours hit you before you are even through the door, and that’s the point. Forget browsing by mugs or prints; the whole shop is blocked by hue, so you drift from yellow to pink to blue, building your own mood board as you go.

Matt’s Dispensary Collection pairs bold prints with motivational affirmations and the in-store “Make Me a Mantra” station lets you leave with words made especially for you.

WHAT WE LOVE

Every piece is designed to lift your spirits, from typography prints that say the thing your friend needs to hear, to candlesticks that wouldn’t be seen dead in beige. Happiness, available over the counter – trust us, you won’t leave empty-handed.
