Choose a room you’d like to make your happy room. See if you can make your happy room a room that has a good view. How pleasing would it be to watch a butterfly flutter over a lily pond? Wouldn’t the sight of a tree in bloom outside your window on a spring day be enough to make you smile? Don’t block out any of that uplifting sunshine with a shade or a curtain. Keep the window(s) in your happy room bare. Sunlight is a natural prescription for the blues, so let the sun shine in.

Paint your happy room a color that makes you feel good. White is a good choice because it’s calming. A forest green rug beneath your bare feet should contribute to relaxation as the color green promotes a relaxing atmosphere and the softness of the rug under you feels good.
