Housing directly affects mood and health
The house is not only a place to rest but also has a significant impact on the emotions and mental health of each person. A comfortable and tidy living space can help reduce pressure after a long day of work, while creating a sense of peace for family members.
According to Dr. Sally Augustin - environmental psychologist and Director of Design With Science (USA) - the arrangement and design of living spaces directly affects people's mood, concentration and stress levels.
Experts believe that it is not necessary to renovate houses expensively, just a few simple changes can help make the space more comfortable and relaxing.
6 tips to change living space
Clean the house regularly
Unnecessary items can make the space cramped and create a feeling of messyness. Rearranging furniture, removing less-used items helps keep the house tidier and create a more airy feeling.
Make the most of natural light
Natural light helps the room become brighter and more spacious. Homeowners should open curtains during the day or arrange mirrors to reflect light into the dark areas of the house.
Adding green trees in living space
Plants such as tiger's tongue, orchid, betel or spider plant are not only easy to care for but also help increase the aesthetics of the house.
According to Professor Charles Hall - a garden economics expert at Texas A&M University (USA) - the presence of green trees in the house can help reduce stress, improve mood and create a feeling of relaxation for people living in that space.
Prioritize soft colors
Colors such as cream white, light blue, light green or beige often bring a feeling of lightness and relaxation. If you don't want to repaint the entire room, you can create accents with curtains, pillows or carpets.
Use a pleasant scent
Essential oils, scented candles or fresh flowers can make the space more comfortable. Fragrances such as lavender, citrus or mint are often chosen by many people to create a relaxing feeling.
Arrange furniture reasonably
Furniture should be arranged scientifically to ensure circulation in the house. Avoid placing large items blocking windows or obstructing walkways as it can make the space stuffy.
Experts believe that when light, green trees, colors and decoration are harmoniously combined, the house will become a place to help regenerate energy and improve the quality of life every day.
