These Adjustments Can Make You Happier

Even if you’re a jet-setter rather than a homebody by nature, you still likely spend a lot of time in your home: It’s where you sleep, often eat, and spend time with loved ones. Your home is a huge part of your life, which is why it’s important to make it a happy space. Following the tips in this article can help you boost the happiness-generating power of your home, using everything from curtains to plants.

Utilize Color

Anyone who’s ever decorated a place’s interior from scratch knows that most houses and apartments look somewhat drab in their natural, empty state. But with ample use of color, you can easily make your space more stimulating and pleasant-feeling.

That raises the question: Which colors are best? One home expert recommends yellow, red, green, blue, and pink as good places to start. And features like furniture and blackout bedroom curtains can come in a variety of colors, letting you easily add vibrancy to any room.

Take the Time to Make Your Bed

Making your bed is a great habit to get into. It’s a way to complete a task right at the start of your day, giving you a victory. Plus, you’ll have an orderly sanctuary to return to when it’s time to sleep.

Worried that making your bed will take too long? With practice, you can do it in just five minutes.

Make Use of Natural Light

Natural light makes us feel better, so don’t hesitate to throw your shades open during the day. (Upgrading to the right window-treatment option for the windows in your open can make doing that a breeze.) You can also consider orienting your furniture and workspaces in ways that let you soak up sunlight.

At the same time, light is, of course, undesirable when you’re trying to sleep. To make your home as restful as possible, consider blackout curtains and drapes for your bedroom.

Bring In Plants

Plants are another way to make your home a happy habitat. Our green friends not only look nice; they also clean the air and refresh the oxygen in a room.
