Curing Seasonal Affective Disorder With Your Decorating
It is hard to not feel happy when the summer roles around. You spend more time outside in the sun and you just feel like you have more energy. Come winter however and for a lot of people the mood changes. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a recognized condition that affects around 2% of the population and around 10% of people report symptoms. These include feelings of unhappiness, tiredness and feeling unwell…although there are many more.In basic terms its cause comes from the reduced light levels that we get in the winter months, causing chemical imbalances in the brain. At night the receptors in the eyes report to the pineal gland that there is less light, which in turn releases a chemical called melatonin into the body, which causes us to feel sleepy and slow down.
All is not lost however, you can fight the effects of seasonal depression by giving a little thought to the furniture you buy and where you place 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. Purchasing white furniture such as 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.
Keeping furniture down to a minimum is another great tip and stops rooms from feeling restricting and claustrophobic. The less furniture in a room, the more opportunity the light has to bounce about it and the more room you have to move about as well. Light reflection is also enhanced by covering your walls in light and bright paint or wall paper.
Some ideas for reducing the amount of furniture you have include only having your table large enough for everyday use and taking away or adding chairs if and when you need them, only have one bedside table instead of one each side, and getting rid of small pieces that only have aesthetic value.
