A stay-at-home vacation lets you enjoy all the benefits of time off without the hassle of travel. Start with these ideas for how to enjoy your summer vacation at home.
1. Bring Some Nature Indoors
Indoor plants, nature-themed decor and botanical designs on walls and counters can create a calm haven indoors. Choose nature-themed colors, too, such as greens and blues, which are soothing.
2. Declutter
Most hotels and spas create a serene environment with a clutter-free space. Before your stay-at-home vacation, deep clean your home to protect your staycation time and enjoy your space.
3. Tantalize Your Senses
Resorts speak to all your senses. You can do the same at home for a fraction of the price. Use a diffuser or scented candles to introduce delicious scents and queue music or soothing sounds. Fill your fridge with delicious foods that are easy to prepare, and have cozy blankets and cushions ready in various textures.
4. Add a Spa Bathroom to Your Home
Instead of making major renovations, bring in some fluffy towels, luxurious soaps, candles and spa treatments. Set aside some time to try new beauty treatments.
5. Plan Vacation Activities
Resorts often have special events and activities, and you can, too. Set up a hammock and a stack of books, snacks and some movies to watch or any other activities you want.
6. Add Some Cozy Touches
Give your bedroom a hotel-look feel with luxury bedsheets, flower petals on the pillows or even chocolates by the bed. Create a breakfast tray with beautiful tableware so you can eat your meals outside.
7. Set All Your Devices to Airplane Mode
One of the most important parts of vacation is time to yourself. Putting all your devices on airplane mode or switching them off lets you take long showers, read books, browse magazines, watch movies and do other things your screen could distract you from.
8. Turn Your Pool Area into a Relaxation Area
If you have a pool, add outdoor furniture and some color for a brighter look. You can build a LifeRoom™ by Four Seasons Sunrooms from Maryland Sunrooms to transform your outdoor area into a shaded space.
9. Transform a Patio
If you have a deck or patio, enclosures from Maryland Sunrooms can transform the space into a shaded and bug-free zone where you can sit, meditate, paint, relax and otherwise leave the everyday behind.
10. Add a Sunroom to Your Home
A sunroom adds value and beauty to your home. Never lose another vacation day due to rain with a sunroom where you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors in the privacy of your own home.
