8 Easy Ways to Make Everyday Feel Like a Holiday at Home

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!

What you can do is give your bathroom an upgrade with better accessories, lighting, scented candles, and bath salts just like how spruced-up bathrooms do at upscale resorts.

Remember the crisp sheets, purified air, and fancy amenities you used to get each time you check into a lavish hotel? That kind of comfort is probably why sleep comes so easy on vacation. 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. If you can repaint or trade your wallpaper with lighter, more soothing colors, that’s already a big upgrade that might just rival the feel of a plush accommodation.

Take advantage of the warm weather by taking your kitchen outside. Fire up your grill and set the table with new tablecloths, plates, runners, and colorful napkins. 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.

Before you can kick up your feet and relax, perhaps it’s time to initiate a backyard facelift. Forge a paradisiacal environment by updating your outdoor furnishings and decor with chic planters, swings, benches, and even a fountain. Adding pretty foliage and statues, too, can make lounging outdoors more pleasant. Plus, it’s like casting the Netherlands’ tulip season right at home. Once you’re done, you’ll notice just how big of an effect a bit of modification can bring to your outdoor space.

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.

Small efforts are a big deal too

As we spend more time indoors, we tend to feel stuck and naturally build a life of routine. 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.
