What is it and what do you need to achieve it?
Words Name In Here
A
morning routine is the foundation of a good day. Morning person or not, establishing a good routine will get you out the door with minimal effort and involve little to no decision-making. However, as soon as you introduce kids, partners or flatmates into
the equation, every minute of your morning routine becomes precious in that goal to get out the front door on time. This is where your design choices and organisation systems can help, especially in the bathroom.
Relaxing bathroom retreats can wait for the evening, in the morning you need a space that is efficient and organised to minimise stress and speed up your getting ready time. You don’t need a whole bathroom renovation to achieve this. Instead, 9 simple hacks can help power you (and your family) through the mornings and make them less stressful.
Whether it’s an en-suite or a busy family bathroom, try to keep all the surfaces clear. A ledge in the shower or the edge of a sink should be reserved for essentials the whole household will use like handwash or shower gel. Everything else can then be neatly stored under the sink, in a medicine cabinet or in drawers.
If you live in a busy household invest in bathroom caddies for each person. Everyone can keep their daily essentials in their baskets which they can pull out of the cupboard or from a shelf when getting ready in the morning.
For extra personalisation, you can assign each person a different colour. For a more streamlined look stick to one colour and attach a small charm or label to each to identify them quickly.
Embrace the RUSTIC LOOK and use a wooden or metal framed LAUNDRY BASKET

Toothbrushes are one of those items you will need to leave out in the bathroom for easy access. However, they don’t need to clutter up surfaces, instead, ditch the toothbrush pot and mount them on the wall for easy access.
Some electric toothbrushes now come with magnet wall mounts. However, there are more affordable options that you simply stick to the wall and hook the toothbrush head or handle into.

2. MOUNT TOOTHBRUSHES ON THE WALL
3. give everyone a bathroom caddy
Installing a thermostatic mixer shower or digital shower will save everyone precious minutes in the morning by allowing you to auto-set the temperature. A thermostatic shower automatically reverts to your set preference and these types of showers can signal to you when the water hits your chosen temperature. For example, the Mira Opero and Beacon mixer showers include a feature called Mira HydroGlo™ technology, which lights up the shower when the water is at the right temperature so you don’t waste any time working out if it’s the right temperature to get in.
6. upgrade your shower
Assign a different colour or towel pattern to each bathroom user to easily avoid losing track of whose towel is whose. You can then work these colours into your design scheme for a cohesive look. Be creative and consider a mix of stripes and check patterns in the same colour, or create an ombre effect with towels in different shades of one colour.
4. colour code towels
Keep any items that you don’t use everyday grouped, whether that is backup bottles of shampoo, toilet rolls, spare towels or first aid kit supplies. Keeping these items together and grouped by categories with clear labels means if you do need them in the morning you can instantly lay your hands on them.
5. group items together
When planning your bathroom storage, while it’s important to consider toiletries, also plan in space for storing things like cleaning sprays, shower squeegees and cloths for quickly wiping down any condensation in the bathroom. While you can invest in bacteria-reducing wall panels for the shower to minimise any mould growth, it is still a good idea to have these items on hand to remove any excess water as part of your morning routine to avoid any future damage.
7. CLEaning storage
The bathroom is where most of us end up getting undressed, so take a step out of your morning routine by integrating a laundry basket into your bathroom design. A discreet seagrass corner basket will blend into most bathroom design schemes. Alternatively, embrace the rustic look and use a wooden or metal framed laundry basket on castors that can be easily wheeled or carried to the washing machine.
8. include a laundry basket
A morning routine doesn’t have to be all work and no play, to add a spark of joy to your morning shower add in a waterproof speaker that will blast your favourite tunes to get you ready for the day. If you’re feeling particularly organised you can use different songs for each member of the family to ensure they don’t go over their allotted time in the bathroom and everyone gets to where they need to be on time.
