A dark room may be perfect for a good sleep, especially if you have trouble falling asleep, but it is not recommended if you spend much time there during the day. An overly dark bedroom tends to dim your spirits. During daytime, you could take advantage of natural light, but you could have at least two other sources of light in a small bedroom, and more if the room is large.
The best mix includes a ceiling light fixture, a bedside lamp and at least one more source of task lighting. You can take it further with soft light from a candle or glowing accent light.
Color influences your feelings in a subtle—but significant—fashion. If your bedroom isn’t decorated in your favorite colors, it’s time for a makeover—or at least, a few added touches of the hues that make you feel good. Blues, greens and grays are naturally soothing, while bright like pink, orange and yellow lift your energy and your spirits. You can get colorful on your walls, or add spots of bright color with throw pillows, bedding, curtains or rugs.

One of the most important things is to decorate with what you love. Things like framed photos of family, friends, pets or happy memories, things that belonged to your grandmother, a trophy, or other stuff.
Nevertheless, nature is one of the most powerful antidepressants on the planet. Harness that power in your bedroom by adding natural touches that remind you of your connection to the outdoors. Moreover, they help purify the air!
