When we are under stress, our mental health suffers. We might not realize it sooner, but later our consciousness starts bombarding. We start losing patience; we start being dramatic; the workplace starts pinching us; we snap at family either, everything surrounding us become agitated. 

When I was under stress or depression, I feel like going nowhere. I don’t even remember how many times I canceled plans with my friends and lying all night tossing and turning on the living room sofa. 

I wish to mounts, but the power of stress holds me. One thing I can clearly state is that everything seems to create just a little more stress until you feel like you are about to blow.

Here I am going to discuss “the impact of home decor on health” and will suggest some tips to keep your health in good condition.

Red is one of the color that excites and soothes the mind, keeping the environment cherished, blue signifies a restful and relaxing environment. White represents a calm and peaceful environment. On the contrary, there are few colors that scientists say no to use as wall decor, like dark, patchy colors; these are the colors that lead to a negative effect on behavior and prone to an aggressive nature. Keeping plants, fresh blooms, and aromatic candles in the home will bring joy and happiness to your mind.

Furniture effects on mental peace: The way we decorate our home has lots to do with mental peace. De-cluttering old furniture, bringing a new sofa set, vacuuming the carpet - all removes the dust mites from the home and life as well.

Additionally, keeping green themes of the dining table could prevent overeating while orange stimulates the appetite.
