National Lazy Day: the joy of doing less

23/07/2026

Who says lazy is a bad thing? Less cleaning. Less searching. Less hassle. More time for the things you actually enjoy. On National Lazy Day (10 August), we're celebrating the smarter way to live. From clever home solutions to smart travel essentials, these are our favourite lazy-life upgrades that help you work smarter, not harder. Call them life hacks for professional relaxers or simply our favourite lazy-life upgrades. Because sometimes, less really is more.

#1 A floor that practically takes care of itself

Life's messy enough. Your floor doesn't have to be. From muddy shoes to spilled drinks, Quick-Step's waterproof and scratch-resistant floors are designed to handle everyday life with minimal maintenance, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing.

Proof that some relationships really can be low maintenance.

Packing cubes from A.S.Adventure keep everything neatly organised, making packing, unpacking and finding your favourite T-shirt effortlessly easy.

The fastest way to find your T-shirt? Never lose it in the first place.

#3 The ultimate disappearing act for clutter

A desk that disappears when the workday is over? Or a bed that doubles as storage space, and a bench that does more than just provide a seat. The smartest storage solutions save both space and time. Why spend time tidying and rearraging when your furniture can do half the job?

Out of sight, out of mind.

#4 Coffee should make itself

With Sage's fully automatic espresso machines, barista-quality coffee is just one touch away and ready before you've fully woken up.

The only morning decision you should have to make is: cappuccino or flat white?

#5 The unofficial uniform of doing nothing

Some days are made for dressing up. National Lazy Day isn't one of them. Dress for the occasion: soft layers, relaxed fits and comfortable essentials you'll never want to take off.

Warning: may cause spontaneous afternoon naps.
