It often comes down to the little things: the kitchen still looks chaotic, harsh overhead lights are blazing, the television is playing in the background, and everyone is glued to their phones. Instead of winding down, the home stays stuck in daytime mode.

Here, we’ll take a closer look at the design elements you should be focusing on if you’re trying to improve your sleep, rather than aesthetic concerns alone.
