When Winter Gets Your Down, Change Your Home Decoration
The summer time is usually a period of happiness and enjoyment. You have a skip in your step, the birds are singing and you have the warm sun on your face. There is a distinct drop in a great deal of people’s moods however as summer gives way to winter. 3% of people suffer from a condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, which normally strikes every year, and a further 12% have reported mild cases. Lethargy, mood swings, muscle pains and generally feeling low are among the many that people report.What causes this is not known exactly, but we do know that one of the major influences is lower light levels in winter causing brain and body chemical communication errors. If light levels drop below a certain point, the eyes send a message to the brain which assumes it is night time and prepares the body for sleep by making you tired and weary.
Amazingly by carefully selecting the interior design items of our homes, we can have a real impact on the negative effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder and feel much better for it. Living room and bedroom furniture are often the most important to get right as these are the rooms that we spend most of our time in. Buying white furniture for example white wardrobes, tables and chairs will increase the amount of light that is reflected around the room and will have a large impact on mood. Another tip is to place reflective ornaments around the room such as crystal glass and mirrored objects, that further scatter light into darker areas.
If you don’t want to end up making your rooms confining or cramped, reducing the amount of furniture down to what you actually need works very well.Not only does less furniture been you won’t bump into stuff as much when you move around, but additionally the light that enters the room bumps into less things and this makes the room brighter. You can also add to the efficiency of light circulation around a room by painting the walls in a light colour.
Some ideas for reducing the amount of furniture you have include only having your dining table large enough for everyday use and taking away or adding chairs if and when you need them. In the kitchen you can reduce clutter to open up the space by storing away things like glass vases and pans when they are not in use.
