Inviting positivity and good vibes are just some of the things that most people aim to achieve this 2016 for their home. Aside from these, people also want to start and end the year with the abundance of happiness. Clearly, a wonderful breakfast, a new sofa, a bubbly-looking lamp can make anyone smile without a reason.

Meanwhile Elle Decor details the things that Science says that could make anyone happy and could be incorporated in the home.

1. GREEN OR YELLOW WALLS

Have you experienced that sting of happiness with these two colors? According to the outlet, "out of the entire rainbow, a study from Vrije University in Amsterdam found that these two hues evoked the most feelings of happiness. But we get it: They're bold color choices for every wall in your home so we recommend shooting for a few statement walls instead."

2. FRESH FLOWERS

What can beat the sight of fresh flowers? Fresh flowers really give out the feeling of being "special" for anyone who sees or receives it. The article highlights the "research conducted by Rutgers found that the presence of flowers trigger happy emotions and heightens feelings of life satisfaction."

3. SENTIMENTAL PHOTOS

Family photos, portraits or pictures with your buddies also help out in cheering you up. These photos are reminders of memories that are instilled in you which are mostly nice ones. If you have not posted any sentimental picture of you, try to do it now. Make yourself happy reliving memories.

"If your nightstand is currently devoted to your latest read and a glass of water, you need to swap both out for some family photos ASAP. A study at the University of Portsmouth found that looking through old photos results in positive feelings and a sense of calmness," advised the publication.
