Interior Design Mistakes Making You Depressed or Anxious

[@cgooch7056]

Regarding hospitals vs spas: I work in a children's hospital. Specifically, one that wins awards every year for being one of the prettiest children's hospitals in the country. Decent color theory definitely makes a difference. Nothing too distracting/overwhelming, but this hallway has yellow walls, the carpet in this waiting room has a fun pattern, the lobby has this colorful sculpture thing hanging from the ceiling that looks cool with the patterns on the floor.... etc. Every time I go to a regular hospital or doctor's office that isn't focused on kids, I wonder why we hate adults. There's not really a good reason for a hospital to be visually depressing, and it's honestly better for patients' wellbeing for the space to be more pleasant.

[@jennasamuel8637]

For real - I’m genuinely curious as to whether there are any studies out there about hospitals that have been designed to be more nourishing environments and whether patients have responded more positively to that!

[@cgooch7056]

@@jennasamuel8637 I'd be hard pressed to find it now, but I remember hearing about an old study observing the outcomes for patients in a room with a window or a nice painting vs a room with just bare walls. The patients with a view recovered faster than the ones without anything

[@sos2530]

There is evidence nice design actually improves mental well-being as well as recovery in a kindly designed hospital. Think plants, natural colors, plenty of sunlight, music and art Most of these aspects are studied by those who specialize in health communication. However many hospitals find it illogical to invest in the design of the building. Fortunately, some hospital administrators can be convinced when it comes to kids at least. Although that’s not consistent. The hospital I went to as a kid was pretty much different shades of gray and blue with nurses in colorful scrubs.

[@carinbarbanel9356]

There are studies showing nicer decor helps, a window with a view of a tree too. Just rough to keep sterile, and deal with ligature risks etc

[@lauriebak]

No matter the design style, clutter is the one thing that brings me down faster than anything else in a room. I cannot stand a cluttered, overly stuffed or disheveled area. It’s so depressing. I can be happy with darker colors or lighter colors, depending upon the room and its use.

[@chelseatomkowiak4207]

An absolute no for me is clutter on the kitchen counter. Instantly makes me want to just shove everything on the counter into the trash can 😂

[@Kyiecutie]

Could not agree more!

[@pippadawg7037]

I hate visible light cords, electrical plugs in the center an empty wall (off center is not nearly as bad), wall vents and proud light switch covers. Usually I just have the painter paint over them with regular latex paint. In my tiny powder room on side wall near my focal point mirror and under my sconces is an electric plug and double light switch like 14" apart so double the ugly. I found clear plastic outlet covers you can fit inside with wallpaper so the plastic is on the outside. I painstakingly cut the wallpaper to continue the pattern on the wallpaper pattern which is more difficult than it sounds because the inside of the covers curve and the wallpaper image is of course flat. Plus the pattern is printed on woven grasscloth which is difficult to cut. The paper hanger offered to do them for 100 a piece. I wasn't paying 200 dollars for something I couldn't see. She would have never put the effort in that I did anyway. When I was done it was perfect and the covers disappear into the wall.

[@rerunrescue8904]

I switched my bedroom with my living room. I know it sounds like a strange thing to do but there was a lot more light in my bedroom (which was also a larger room) so I turned it into my living room. No regrets.

This is why I like your channel. You can funny and snarky and honest about what you don’t like, without being completely oblivious of what is personal preference, life circumstances, and financial situation. I am all for judging trends and decor, but not for the implication of judging people behind them or snobbery disguising itself behind “art”.

Yes. Not catty for the sake being being catty...some people could take a lesson from that...

[@patriciakelly2714]

I thought I’d tell you this. About 30yrs after my mother died, I inherited a china cabinet. I didn’t want it, but it had sentimental value to me. I have carted it around on each house move. I even took it to Spain when we left England. Every time I thought I could let it go, I changed my mind. I decided a week ago that it had to go. I asked around to see if anyone wanted it, but no. In Spain people put unwanted items by the bin so we decided we would do the same. I was cringing at the thought that it would go as rubbish, but hay ho! ten minutes after dropping it off it had gone. I know now it’s with someone who liked it. I feel so much lighter and know that it was the right thing to do. My mother and the memories are in my heart.

Dusty faux flowers during my childhood (thanks, 1980s decor) made me avoid fake plants. Changed my mind when I learned you can just hose them off in the sink. Turn them upside down, then shake the water off.

[@betmo]

you can shake silk flowers in a ziploc bag of salt...or brown bag...takes the dust off

May I add to open a window and let some fresh air into your home! Also, photos of passed loved ones depress me. I keep them in books as I can’t constantly remember their loss when I see their photo. And I tend to look past some of my décor disasters so I take a photo and I can really see what needs some improvement! Love you Nick, love your channel! 🥰

[@Xandycane]

[@SaintDuma]

You know the one I realized I was missing the most in my space was the photos of people and pets. I do have so many good photos of those and I realized I never put them up or look at them. What a great reminder!

I’m autistic, and finding lights that work for me are game changers. I am sensitive to lights and so I used to just not have any. Finding lamps that I enjoy and like are amazing.

[@vivianblack2951]

Love this video, Nick because it's so true. I got rid of a desk that I used to settle an estate. It became so depressing to look at even though it was a very nice desk. I gave it away to a young guy who was going to use it for his environmental organization. Now I have good memories of that desk.

[@tealkerberus748]

I used to have a big sofa that I was given by a friend when she upgraded her furniture. It was big and a bit smelly, and we kept an old curtain over it to cover the torn spots in the upholstery. I didn't get rid of it because I disliked it, but because our family grew and what had been the living room became a bedroom, so there wasn't room in the house for a big sofa any more. But I gave it to another friend who could afford to get it re-upholstered (and very thoroughly professionally cleaned!) and she has been using it ever since. It gives me a joy every time I sit on it at her place that I never got from it when it was mine!

[@irishmclass2042]

Nick, I have learned an amazing amount from you regarding all aspects of interior design. I’ve lived in our home for many years, and have incorporated so much of your recommendations. Above all, telling my furniture “Bye bye, it’s been great!” is so necessary to advance and change things up! You are fun to listen to, and the best part: you finish quickly! Much appreciated is your time mgmt. No droning on and on! Awesomeness!!

Loved your advice - loos that are not clean really make me shudder, so what I do is every week put some denture cleaning tablets down the loo and leave overnight - it works. About once every 6 months where the water hits the toilet bowl I clean off the suzzy limescale with Kilrock Gel, leave it for 10 mins then scrub with an old toothbrush. Shiny loos all year!

[@DNAConsultingDetectives]

You are right on about caring for something/someone besides yourself is crucial for good mental health. My job allows me to help people. It's very satisfying, to know I make a real difference in others lives. YOU, Nick, are helping and making a difference for all of us! Thanks for sharing your brilliance, humor and heart! 💛

[@lynda.grace.14]

If plants are too much for some, there is the option of putting a single leaf in a clear vase (always lots of those for cheap in thrift stores). Monstera, Aspidistra, Anthurium , Eucalyptus and numerous other leaves can be very effective as well as dramatic displayed this way. Grasses, too, can make a wonderful and soothing show. A florist can be a helpful guide to good choices.

[@GenericAccountVLR]

What a lovely idea! ❤ 🍃

[@rezkerry8809]

The advice to have at least one clutter free space in your home is good. If you have a lot of pets or small children, it can be so overwhelming to go from one room to another to another that’s littered with toys, equipment, etc. Realistically you can’t keep more than one room clean and tidy at all times, but it’s such an oasis to have that one uncluttered room to relax in while the hurricanes continue to spread throughout the rest of the house.

[@tmusa2002]

I have started to “shop my own home” as my kids move off to college and I have more time and options to do this. Also, I work from home and I just painted a bedroom pale yellow and moved my office in there and it made a huge difference in my mood and ambition!

[@yuvra649]

Absolutely lovely video! I'm so happy you did this. Shows your consideration towards different situations people are in, co living or affordability. You are a wonderful human. Reason I say this is because I've been in this position and so have my friends. We sometimes visit someone's home and are in awe of how beautiful it is. But ourselves arent in a situation or economically cannot afford to have that. But that does not mean we need to live poorly. Your shop your home and cover it up works perfectly to get that new fancy feeling. And i hope people don't forget your home needs to work for you. Function is important over just overall trendly looks. Clean clutterfree function is good. I've had few neighbors comment on why my layout is so different in my rental. Ive switched my living room and dining room. The sun room area is my partners office. It works for us. We work from home. We dont need living room and tv as central theme to our home. We barely watch a an hour at night. The switching gives us so much more empty room, which i agree in traditional sense looks empty weird, but works out amazing for us. We play with our cat like crazy in it. It helps us just lie on the cool floor in summers. We are asian and floor makes us happy in weird way. Its functional for us.

[@DualityOfFlan]

Thanks for the kind advice on wellness! Especially since you’re going through a time. I hope you feel better!

[@robynofrye4311]

I'm super depressed at the moment and yes I got therapy and meds sorted out, but I found a few days where I had the energy to change my living room around and stuff like sectioning off my work area from the relax area, white colors and furniture to hide clutter, and cleaning help me heal so much! And I felt dumb getting a faux plant at first (can't have real, my cat eats them and I always forget to water, especially when depressed) but it made me so happy I got a few more. Now it is calm but still lively here and all I see is things that make me happy in a bright room (and cozy at night due to good lighting). All these tips are so valid, even though I just discovered them after being done redoing my living room. Try out what your energy allows folks, it absolutely helps.

[@jazdia78]

Thank you for this unexpected video! But it is so true. Clutter has been my issue for years now. I'm finally getting my house in order after my husband retired and we are planning on moving, but it still feels better to actually see my home. And my mental health has been improving. Taking those few minutes in the morning to make my bed has given me some of the control over my own well being that I've needed. And making a few changes at a time has changed my bedroom into a more relaxing place.

[@42ayla]

3:55 I saw an interview with Ricky Martin and one of the ways he deals with being on tour is to have a set up for his dressing room that moves with him so he can step in to the continuity of it no matter where he is. Smart man.

[@JW-frog]

I will add that making something for your space and being a little crafty can really help boost your mood and make the space feel special. I'm not an artist but I made a simple piece of abstract art for my living room and it makes the space feel personal.

[@MajorArlene]

the last tip is really important - I had moved into an apartment by myself for the first time while waiting to be allowed into NZ with my long distance partner - I felt so awful and anxious until I put up a couple pictures. sometimes that can just bring you some peace. same with cleaning/tidying up, storage bin catch-alls have been my best friend while being in my new space.

[@nerdaccount]

I never really thought cleaning or orderliness was important but has I've gotten older, I can see the way it benefits my mood. I will say I don't know which is the source.. if I 'm in a bad mood, my room starts to match it or if I'm in a bad mood, coming home to a clean orderly room helps lift my spirit. Thanks for keeping me thinking. Still not making my bed. LOL

[@karilane1416]

improving mood is huge! Putting a gigantic porch on the front of the house has made me so happy (and that was over 15 years ago) and still, driving in...I feel joy. The bed making has made a big difference! I agree.

[@caetano.santana]

when I first moved to an apartment on my own I was sold on the "minimalist aesthetic", little to no furniture etc, and the reality of it was not a beautiful aesthetic home 😂 but just lack of space to store all I needed and an everlasting feeling of improvised fixes that were no good. finally I came to my senses that it is better to have proper space to storage all your belongings. unfortunately I'm on a one room apt and had to multipurpose the living room, but it is what it is. hopefully I'll be able to live in a bigger and better place soon 😊

[@mariastathopoulos744]

Fantastic video!! Bravo!!! I enjoy colour - it truly has an effect on my mood. I have a deep cherry accent bedroom wall. I have repeated the red hue in different shades from shiraz wine to true red. In the guest bedroom l have a dark deep velvet green wall that highlights the greens of the wall tapestry and cushions. My son chose a blue-indigo for his bedroom so that he could feel he's in a 'crab's lair', marine space. My spare room has a gold yellow wall to reflect more light as it has only one narrow window. Outdoors l have a teal accent brick wall with metallic wall framed art. You can see that wall before you enter the kitchen / dining open area, and it makes me smile. Visitors get a WOW moment too. I heartily agree with making a house personal so that it is a home. Photos, sentimental items, favourite travel mementos and books tell stories of you, your family and friends. Yes to open up your blinds and curtains to let in natural light and open windows and doors on pleasant days for a fresh breeze to flow through the home.

[@ivoryandcat]

I know people think yellow, it's bright, sunny, happy, etc. Years ago I saw a study that said people fight more in yellow rooms than any other color. I won't paint anything yellow, I don't like yellow anyway, but I always notice when I'm in a yellow room because of that.

I swapped my living room with my dining room. Now i have a den with television set and no windows with sunlight in the afternoon. And the living room is now the dining room with sofa and bright lighting. I also changed the living room from a cold blue to a warmer taupe. Each room now feels right. Also, replacing the chandelier with a ceiling fan has been wonderful. Last note: i painted the ceiling a soft blue.

[@apollyon9946]

Anxiety stems from lack of being in control. So if we can be in control of our own environment, or at least feel in control, it calms us. This means that we can't have things unaccounted for and laying around everywhere. We can't have areas like a kitchen sink where there are dishes piled up that might cause bad smells or even bacteria to grow. Organize your home so you know exactly where everything is. I put a sticky note inside every drawer that lists all of the items inside it. at least remeber the category of item that goes there and take anything out that doesn't. You might say this is OCD, but I am actually not a super clean person. It required a LOT of self training.

[@lindaartz3297]

Please get rid of things that you associate with unpleasantness. It helps so much. If it has a smell or a color that you associate with a toxic person dump it, no matter how valuable it is. Don’t give it to someone in your circle of friends because you will have the same reaction if you go to their house. Or if you see it on them (like jewelry).

[@orangecat5036]

That's a major issue for me I don't like daylight or sun ligth in my liveing spaces I black out my window's of all natural ligth so finding the rigth lighting is a struggle not all lamps are the same so it's a learning process in my home decor.

[@lysan4878]

I definitely think the trend of grey everything and black and white homes has definitely had a mental impact on people. Too many people are living in cold institutional houses. I love grey and white as much as anyone else, but i warm it up with wood tones,plants, tan, and colorful pillows,throws etc. People need to stop thinking they live on the internet and start making their houses look and feel like homes again.

Thanks Nick! Colour and light really can affect your mood so much. I started a new job in a lovely but incredibly bare open-plan office and kept on getting super anxious and couldn't figure out why, to the point I was having to walk out a block to the local park for a minute to be able to calm down and focus... realised I needed the outside time and changed my computer background from the bright default to a lovely rainforest and felt instantly calmer, haven't had a problem since. Literally the easiest solve to random anxiety I've ever experienced. Will this work for chronic anxiety? Almost certainly no, but any little bit helps.

[@lindawilson4625]

Good advice! Decluttering is huge. Even most designer rooms have way too much visual clutter for me. Another tip-Have at least 1 thing in every room that makes you smle when you see it...even in the bathroom! Thanks Nick!

[@kathleenobara3229]

Really great advice Nick … I have always known that my surroundings really effect my mood … from the colour of the room to the amount of light and of course the decor.

My house is a big mood ruiner. We have waaaay too much clutter. We could furnish a whole nother house. I'm 26 and got my first full time job just a few months ago so I'll be moving out soon enough but at this time it is an absolute struggle to live in my current home with my dad. My parents were older when they had me and their parents were older when they had them. I was grandparent-less by the age of 12 and where did all their stuff go when they passed? To us. Where did all my mom's stuff go when she passed? Stayed in our house. We haven't had the time and energy to get rid of stuff and a lot of it is antiques which we don't want to just donate and yard sales are a lot of work (let alone selling online). I can clean my room and in two days I can hardly walk in it. We have too much stuff and it drives me insane but its too big of a tackle to do on my own simply for the fact that my dad doesn't want me going through his and his folk's stuff but then is too lazy to work on going through any of it himaelf. A cluttered house can 100% break your spirit.

I don't suffer from anxiety and never had this issue in a another space. For this reason I think I gravitate towards Scandinavian or japandi styles. I want clean and calm and well edited spaces

Hi Nick, I have a niche request which I think applies to a lot of people to a lesser degree... I have animals, like a lot of them, and feel like I can't have anything nice because it will get scratched, peed on, knocked over, eaten, absorb odors, etc. I would like an environment that is functional and comfortable, maybe even pleasant.

Color of light matters more thatn anything to me, yellow light depresses me - I have all "daylight" (as opposed to "softwhite").bulbs - the actual difference is the kelvin color - the new "daylight" bulbs are K5000 (the K number is in tiny print on the package). This is a true white light. You will not see the yellowness of your light until you try K4500 to K5000 bulbs and then you will really see the yellowness of other bulbs.
