4 Bathroom Remodel Options to Help You De-Stress in the Morning

The morning routine should help you ease into a new day and bring excitement, but your current bathroom situation may cause a lot of stress. If you want to de-stress and relax in the morning, then consider a bathroom remodel that can completely change your routine for the better.

Not only will you enjoy the bathroom more with all of the upgrades, but you can choose specific elements that will reduce the amount of stress you have and get your day started in a positive way. Check out this guide to learn about some of the upgrade options and ways you can completely transform your bathroom.

1. Clutter Reduction & Vanity Organization

A cluttered bathroom can instantly add stress each morning. Not only do you increase your stress when you see the clutter, but you may get stressed as you try to find items and have to move items around to get exactly what you need. A whole new vanity can focus on organization and de-cluttering the bathroom area.

A vanity can include a wide range of drawers for you to easily keep items out of sight and separated into different categories. For example, one drawer could hold all of your items used for tooth care while another drawer holds hair accessories.

Plugs and corded bathroom accessories can take up a lot of clutter as well. With a new vanity installation, you can eliminate the excess cords on your counter. Specific drawers inside the vanity could feature built-in outlets. With the outlets, you can open the drawer and have instant access to the item. Once done, you tuck the device back in the door and close it. Multiple drawers can feature their own assigned outlets.

You could also consider the installation of built-in canisters on some of the deeper drawers. A built-in canister will supply you with easy placement options for your hair dryers, curling irons, and other products. The more organized your bathroom remains, the less stress you will have.

2. Light Dimmer Switches

When you wake up in the morning, a blast of light can create tension in your body and lead to a stress response. You also don't want to navigate your bathroom in the complete darkness.

With a remodel, you can expand your lighting across the whole bathroom and install light dimmer switches. With a light dimmer switch, you could turn on the lights at a lower percentage. The low light will give you more time to wake up and keep your body relaxed as you start the day. As you go through your morning routine, you could gradually increase the amount of the light that shines in the bathroom.

In some cases, you can connect the lights to smart home devices. Instead of going back to the switch each time, you can set automatic light adjustments or use voice controls to adjust the brightness of the lights.

3. Built-In Speakers

A little morning music or meditation can help change your mood and reduce the stress you feel each morning. One way to help hear music while you go through your bathroom routine is with built-in bathroom speakers. You can choose to have one central speaker built into the center of the bathroom or pick specific areas to install speakers.

For example, you could have speakers added to the shower area or near the bath. Bluetooth technology can connect multiple devices to the speakers and provide you with easy access to your favorite music. Use the speakers to play radio stations, stream music services, or listen to music from home-connected devices like a CD player.

Create a relaxing playlist that helps you feel good in the morning and adds some positive vibes to the start of your day.

4. Jetted Bathtubs

When you wake up in the morning, you will want to stretch your body and relax your joints. If you make the time available, you could chose to enjoy a longer bath rather than a quick shower. With a jetted bathtub, you can provide massaging jets to your body and fully enjoy the sensation as you get your day started.

The installation of a jetted tub can completely change your morning routine. You have the opportunity to start your day relaxed, instead of taking a bath at the end of the day. With your body fully massaged and relaxed, you can increase the energy and happiness you have to get you through the rest of the day.

If you stand on your feet all day for work, you have the opportunity to use the jets directly for your feet and provide a massage sensation. You can make extra time to incorporate a bath and completely transform your lifestyle.
