8 Easy Ways to Make Everyday Feel Like a Holiday at Home
Now that spring is in session, things call for an update. Our ample time indoors makes it even more important for us to change it up once in a while, whether that be in our wardrobe or in our home. Considering getaway plans are being put on hold, staycation it is! Of course, it’s still possible to feel like you’re on your dream holiday by sprucing up your decor and building your very own escape-ready outfits.
Do you miss lounging on the beachside? Perhaps you’re nostalgic of winter retreat memories? Whatever your vacation style, we’ve got tricks to share on how you can replicate these experiences for the spring/summer. There’s no reason to stop the fun even when we’re stuck indoors.
Bring the tropics to you with good lighting and colors
Just because your trip to the tropics had to be canceled, doesn’t mean you can’t bring the beach to you. Recreate the refreshing feeling of being in the sun and sand via a well-illuminated space, sea scents, cheerful greenery, and your best destination dresses and cover-ups. Whether you prefer maxi or mini cuts, we love channeling a full vacation feel with bright, warm colors. It will double as an update to your spring selections too!

Why not incorporate the same luxe treatment into your bedroom? Warm, thick blankets, fresh new sheets, a softer mattress, ambient lighting, and cozy rugs will do just the trick.

This is a great way to beat the heat indoors during the summertime as your kitchen can get hot and feel stuffy. Plus, dining al fresco is a way you can gather the family and spend some quality time. Maybe you’ll even see this small bash as a chance to change up your patio and deck furniture.

The festivities don’t have to stop, just change a little. Your private garden party can be more entertaining during the evenings by creating your very own minibar. Get new glassware, try different beverages, and perhaps a bar cart if you’re feeling fancy to serve around the yard or poolside. This can also be an excuse to dress up like old times and bring out the fun florals. Try having everyone experiment making summer-ready cocktails and see who can make the best one. You can polish up your mixing skills too, because just like the vacation mindset, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

Take some time to make your living space feel homier and engage in leisurely activities you love, even if it’s just recreating them in your own ways. You’ll be surprised how small adjustments and efforts like shopping for new pillows, cooking special meals, and dressing up can make a huge impact on both your home and your mood.
