Keep your bedroom and workroom separate:
Even if you are someone who works from home, always keep your workroom separate from your bedroom.

Therefore, avoid using any kind of technology in your bedroom so that you can relax and have a good night sleep.

Not getting enough sleep makes you more stressed and you become irritated more often. Therefore, give a good foundation to your day by getting a good night sleep. If your room is interrupted by the outside light, get blackout shades to get rid of any exterior light. Cover the windows and get at least eight hours of sleep to wake up refreshed every morning.
Get rid of the clutter:
It has been proved that when you work in a room full of clutter, it limits your ability to properly digest the new information and get done with your tasks. You cannot have good focus in a cluttered home, therefore, go through your home and donate or sell anything that is not required.
Use a neutral color scheme:
Colors influence your mind a lot because you spend most of your time in your rooms. Bright colors can make you more stress but if you use neutral colors, it will soothe your nerves and will help you calm down when you are stressed. Also, pay attention to the furniture you place there and it will help you transform your home into a relaxing place.
Block the outside noise:
Noise increases your stress levels and makes it hard to get some peaceful time to relax. The best way is to block the outside noise by getting a pair of noise cancelling headphones and using them when you are trying to sleep.
