Choosing Your Furniture To Minimise Seasonal Blues
The summer time is usually a period of happiness and enjoyment. You spend more time outside in the sun and you just feel like you have more energy. The outlook is not always so good in winter however. Winter depression is something that doctors have to treat in lots of countries and around 8% of population in Europe have reportedly shown symptoms at least once. 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. The eyes are very sensitive to light levels and if there is not enough of it around, they will trigger the body to release melatonin in to the blood stream, making us feel lethargic and tired.
Believe it or not we can reduce the effect of Seasonal Affective Disorder by being careful about what we surround ourselves with in our homes. Living room and additionally 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 like 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.
A minimal approach to furniture is also a good idea as this helps open up rooms and reduces the feeling of being cluttered.If you have fewer pieces of furniture in a room, the light has a better opportunity to reflect around it and you will also be able to navigate it easier. 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 a single bedside table rather than one each side, and getting rid of small pieces that only have aesthetic value.
