Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as the Winter Blues, is a common mood disorder that can affect the physical and mental health of adults during the colder seasons when the days get shorter. College students are especially susceptible to this, as they experience life on their own while they continue to juggle school and work. The university environment can and should be a place filled with warm and engaging furniture solutions for these young adults.
Vibrant and cheerful student housing furniture
The dormitory has become more than a place to sleep for today’s student. It is a living and learning place. If the furniture in this space is hospitality-like in style it presents a collaborative vibe and let’s students know they are welcomed. Colors in these highly used spaces are very important to the wellbeing of the students. Read more about what colors work best in education spaces here: Color Psychology in Education
Collaborative Student Center furniture
The student center furniture should be comfortable enough for relaxing, and durable enough for social events and recreation. These areas are active, comfortable, technology-oriented spaces where students can meet, learn, create, and collaborate. Kwalu’s comfortable study lounge furniture features warm wood-like finishes and power options and is the ideal collaboration of style, design, and connectivity for these spaces.
Calming Wellness Center furniture
High-quality collaborative furniture in calming spaces can contribute to the mental health of students. Combatting the winter blues on campus is not a simple task but providing decompression zones can help and support. Gloomy weather, homesickness and an abundance of schoolwork can leave students feeling overwhelmed. Student wellness center furniture placed in spaces that are semi-private in nature create a place of calm where students can come to collect their thoughts and reactivate their minds for the next educational event.
