Home was important to us before, but it’s taken on a whole new meaning this year due to the pandemic and UK lockdown. Home has become the office, the gym, the restaurant, the bar, even the classroom…
According to the Office for National Statistics, 70% of Brits had never worked from home pre-lockdown, but now around 20 million people have swapped the office for home, so it’s not surprising that more and more of us are using our bathrooms as sanctuaries where we can get away from all the ‘practical’ zones of the house.
Everyone wants a little more luxury and that spa feel, whether that’s a roll top bath where you can read a book in the peace and quiet, mosaic-effect floor tiles for a Moroccan-style escape, or fitted storage units so you can seriously declutter your space.
And if you weren’t a Marie Kondo convert before, now could be your time—according to a recent study by OLIO, a massive 50% of its users had cleared out their toiletry drawer in the past month as a result of lockdown.
Here are Marie Kondo’s top five tips for making your bathroom ‘spark joy’:
- Create a place for everything with smart storage.
- Maximise space and keep things organised with a stylish ladder shelf.
- Keep toiletries out of the shower.
- Choose clear glass storage jars and fill with only what you need.
- Enjoy your bathroom fully with aromatherapy and fragrances.
