Does anyone else feel awful in big apartments (lemmy.world)

If an apartment has high ceilings and big rooms it gives me anxiety. I'm not sure if it's because I tie it to traumatic experiences of what.

In my big apartment that I rented I felt awful and had anxiety. It also has light colours everywhere.

The little one felt cozier and had darker colours.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I don't know what to do cause I'm stuck in the bigger one until the lease is up

avoid ceiling lights. keeping lighting closer to eye-level can help make the space feel way cozier, so try floor lamps and desk lamps.

i once bought a random led light bulb for my desk lamp from a dollar store back when i was in college, and that thing was just bright enough to light up a room while still keeping it cozy. loved it to bits.
