It’s fair to say that for many people, the first hour of their day is the most hectic. From the moment you slam a hand down on the alarm clock to the second you leave the house, your morning routine can give you a great start to your day, or increase your stress levels before you get to work!

It’s fair to say that for many people, the first hour of their day is the most hectic. From the moment you slam a hand down on the alarm clock to the second you leave the house, your morning routine can give you a great start to your day, or increase your stress levels before you get to work!

If there’s one part of your morning routine that can take up too much time and cause unnecessary stress, it’s washing and grooming in the bathroom. An overly-cluttered bathroom is a perfect place to lose important items and overwhelm the mind, especially if you’ve just woken up. Luckily, we’ve got a ton of experience in making bathrooms better, and that’s exactly what we’re going to help you do.

So, gulp down your coffee and finish your toast, it’s time to make your bathroom ‘morningproof’!

Combatting Clutter

First things first, let’s get rid of any excessive clutter. While having certain items that you use several times a day (such as a toothbrush or mouthwash) isn’t going to cause any problems, this can easily spill over into having every makeup or grooming product in your collection stacked around your wash basin. Not only does this make it more difficult to find one particular item, but it can also cause additional stress without you even realising!

The treatment for this particular problem is simple: storage and organisation.

Put away as much as possible, in a neat and organised manner. Keep all of that makeup in a zip bag and pop it into a vanity or bathroom cupboard; it will still be easily accessible but won’t be taking up tons of bathroom space! Items that you are likely to use regularly such as toothpaste and razors can be easily stored above the basin in a cabinet, or if you’d like to pick up something extra-efficient, take a look at our mirrored bathroom cabinets with built-in lights!

Optimise Your Routine

Finding your morning routine takes too long no matter how hard you try? Consider which aspects you could do without, or replace with a more efficient solution.

If you take a bath before work because you don’t have a shower, swap it out! In the time it takes just to run a bath, you could have had a shower and be onto the next stage of your routine. We have a great selection of modern shower enclosures in stock, all at delightfully low prices, so be sure to take a look if considering adding a new shower to your home.

BreakFAST

While breakfast is indeed one of the most important meals of the day, that’s not to say you need to waste a ton of time each morning cooking several different ingredients before you head out of the door.

While not exactly bathroom related, this next tip is certainly worth mentioning.

Consider starting the day with something quick, simple and healthy such as a fruit salad or a bowl of porridge. Not only are these healthier options that a bacon sandwich or a full ‘fry up’, but they will give you all the energy you need to power through your day until lunch time! We found this great list of quick and healthy morning meals (from the NHS no less!) to help you start your day!
