We’ve all been there. You’ve looked around your bathroom and wondered “How did I let it get this way?” If you have a young family admittedly, it’s not your fault!

As the days get shorter, the kids get back to school and the need for some cosy home-alone me-time becomes more inviting...let’s talk about making that bathroom of yours into the sanctuary you deserve.
Begin with a declutter. Take a leaf out of Marie Kondo’s book and be sure to release, or recycle anything that is no longer in use and does not bring joy
● Start with looking around for redundant bathroom toys, empties and fixtures to remove
● If something is not in use on a daily basis and you do have room elsewhere like your dressing table and wardrobe, store those items there e.g. hair tongs, and rollers
● Start checking your medicine cabinet for out of date products.
● There shouldn’t be 2 of one thing like multiple shampoo bottles. Take out the spares and store them away.
Out of sight makes for a calmer state of mind. But you’ll need to find and create extra storage options. Stand back and look at your whole space and spot locations where you can hang hooks, install shelving or add recessed or hung cabinetry.
Check out these simple DIY hacks.
Add floating shelves in the following locations
● Above the door● If you have little ones, build a little wooden DIY Step that doubles up as a storage space with a lid where the step should be.
● Use a mirrored cabinet above the Sink and Cistern for even more storage. A minimalist-styled cabinet with mirrored doors doubles up as a feature mirror and creates the illusion of more space.

Be sure to measure in advance before procuring anything that looks good in-store but may overwhelm your space
