The well-known company IKEA conducted a study in which they found that people are happier when they tidy up because it makes them feel better and makes them feel better.
What kind of study is this? IKEA, together with the General Council of Psychology and the Psychofoundation, conducted a study on human well-being. The website Jeuxvideo.com reports on this. The results are regularly shared in the podcast “Hogares con Psicología”.
The study found that 21% of people surveyed are frustrated when they have objects at home that don’t have a fixed place, although the impact of order varies from person to person.
At the same time, it was discovered that people become happier when they tidy up their homes, because in doing so, they also tidy up their minds.
IKEA also recently stated that gamers should definitely not get married:

Order increases self-esteem, chaos causes stress
Why is order a good thing? When you tidy up and have a clean, orderly environment, you feel like you have your surroundings under control. This can not only increase your self-esteem, but also create a more pleasant atmosphere.
The study says that more cleanliness in the house is linked to greater well-being and happiness and that this can be achieved by cleaning the kitchen, tidying up and making the beds every day. Psychologist Dr. Danielle Roeske explained that order is directly related to mental health:
When there is order and structure in our external environment, it can help us feel better able to deal with some of our emotional states and inner worlds
Disorder can have the opposite effect: a chaotic environment can lead to a feeling of being overwhelmed. Another study also showed that people who live in a chaotic, untidy environment have higher cortisol levels and are therefore more stressed.
So tidying up helps you to be happy. And of course it helps if you buy IKEA cupboards from the Swedish furniture company to tidy up. Because all the stuff that would otherwise be lying around chaotically in your living room could just as well be stored in a stylish cupboard.
IKEA discovered the topic of “gaming” a few years ago. Together with the company ASUS, they introduced their first gaming products. The furniture was developed together with ASUS, and all gaming products can now be purchased in Germany: Yes, IKEA now also makes gaming furniture – now with official images
