Design areas to serve more than one purpose. That window nook? Make it a reading + journaling spot. That dining table? Add storage underneath for board games or crafts.

Designate cozy corners to rest and recharge. Add soft lighting, a comfy chair, or a few blankets to encourage mindful breaks and reduce overstimulation.
