Curing Seasonal Affective Disorder With Your Decorating

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. The outlook is not always so good in winter however. 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. These include depression, sleeping problems and lethargy to name a few. It is caused by a lack of sunlight in the winter months having an effect on the chemical balance 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.

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 additionally bedroom furniture are often the most important to get right as these are the rooms that we spend most of our time in. Getting 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.

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.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. 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 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.
