Not quite as powerful hardware as that of @jomiran@lemmy.ml , but it works: I feel ever so slightly less depressed during the darker seasons. Mind you, winter is coming. I know the difference in white balance looks terrible, but somehow my body doesn’t mind.

The lights are so light - pun astronomically intended - that I was able to use tape to slap them onto the wall. No drilling.


Thanks! I really appreciate the suggestions! 🥰 I’m just so unhealthily (is that even a word? 🤣) attached to minimalism, I don’t dare to embellish.😱
Edit: although I have thought about those Polish Displate “posters” 😍
I’m not sure what minimalism even means…? Haha. My version of “minimalism” is just “must be easy to clean and hide away”, so I don’t keep trinkets or knick-knacks, and have solid doors on all cabinets and bookcases, and avoid flowering plants. But evergreen and leafy greens are fine by me! As long as I water them when they begin to droop they basically never drop any leaves.
Be brave, dare to dream! Think of a plant (or plant shelf) not as a mere material possession but as a cross between a favourite figurine and a pet; a living necessity. You can even find plants with more muted silvery-green leaves, or deeply dark green if you don’t want a massive pop of colour.
And if you don’t like it you can always toss it or give it away, unlike a pet or favorite figurine.
