Keeping yourself in darkness can increase the chances of feeling depressed. Therefore, it is suggested not to keep your house dark throughout the day. Instead, lift the curtains and blinds to give yourself a glimpse of the outdoors and enjoy the fresh air. Even if there is not much to look at, you can arrange your windowsill in a way that pleases you and add some plants to it. Doing this will let the sunlight enter your home, which will help you to unwind and reduce feelings of depression. Additionally, you can use orange and brown shades around the house for a more calming effect.
