While traveling isn’t possible during the pandemic, you can still find ways to get away. Here’s how to turn your home into a staycation resort.
The pandemic has kept everyone cooped up in their homes for months on end, so it’s possible your home now feels a bit more like a prison than a place to relax. Luckily, we can show you how to turn your home into a staycation resort to keep you feeling refreshed and comfortable.
Creating an Outdoor Space
Look toward your backyard as your canvas. This space is perfect for enjoying the outdoors the way you want to. As the temperature cools off and the winter months creep up on us, consider installing a fire pit and some chairs to get cozy with friends. If you have kids, you can even bring them out to make some s’mores. For those with a green thumb, taking the time to do some gardening and landscaping can add a pleasant and creative touch. A garden sofa is perfect for a nap to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Backyard Studios
A backyard studio will make you feel like you’re on a real getaway. These studios have been growing in popularity. “She sheds” provide a small, personal space dedicated to your hobbies and interests. It’s the counterpart to “man caves,” but it doesn’t take up space in your home, and you can completely separate it from the responsibilities and stresses of the house. It’s a worthwhile investment if you want a space that you can call your own. It’s a great way to turn your home into a staycation resort by providing a peaceful relaxation area.
Improve the Atmosphere
Changing the atmosphere may seem small, but it can do wonders for helping you improve your mood and change your perspective. Simple things like incense and scented candles can change up the smell of your home. Scents that you associate with the beach or forest will put you in the vacation mood. You can also spoil yourself with something like a fancy bath with all the works, creating a spa-like atmosphere for you to enjoy.
