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 also 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 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.
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.
