Bringing Vacation to Your Home: How to Get Away

It’s safe to say that many of our plans for 2020 took an interesting turn. As families have been encouraged to stay home as much as possible, people are not only trying to find ways to keep themselves entertained, but they are also trying to make the most out of their canceled plans. We understand how hard it might be for homeowners, especially those who love to travel, during this whirlwind of a time. But when there is a will to get away, there is a way! Maybe you need a vacation to get your mind off of work or other stress-inducing factors in your life. Whatever the case may be, there’s plenty of ways you can make your home feel like the vacation you’ve always wanted to go on. Let’s take a look!

Turn On the Candles and the White Noise 

With candles in sight and the peace that white noise brings, you can expect to feel like you’re on cloud nine within seconds! Aromatherapy has been known to help lighten up the atmosphere and help release stresses and anxieties. Even better, when you throw in the sounds of crashing waves or some light rainfall, you can summon the relaxing vacation you need to let loose. With these few accessories, you can experience a tropical paradise all within your home!

Prepare Your Home for the Winter 

No one really knows how long families will be encouraged to stay at home, so you’ll want to plan ahead and consider refurbishing your home. This way, you’ll bring a level of comfort and coziness you need to get through the winter. If you want to completely replace your furniture so it can fit all times of the year, you can consider switching to wooden sets and throw in more textiles for a warm, holiday-like feel. You might also want to upgrade your morning routine by treating yourself to new appliances, such as a personal coffee maker. With these simple changes, you bring the joy of the holiday season into your home!

Hang Up a Hammock 

There’s nothing quite like taking an afternoon snooze under the shade of your porch or backyard patio with the help of a beach hammock. With a hammock, you can rock yourself to sleep or even enjoy the leisure of reading a book or magazine where it’s nice and quiet. Two study figures with enough distance apart is all you need to put your hammock up and swing yourself into the vacation you deserve. Even better, you can always take it down if the weather starts to get unpleasant or if you have other ideas for your patio! 

Set Up a Bonfire

Some hotels often include special commodities, such as public swimming pools, buffets, and better yet, firepits! Firepits also can often be seen on beach shores, where families and loved ones gather together after an eventful vacation day. If you have a firepit in your backyard already, all you have to do is gather some wood and some lighter fluid, and you’ve got the vacation of your dreams all within the vicinity of your home! You can have your family gather together after sundown and roast some marshmallows for an even sweeter treat.

Build a Water Fountain for Extra Relaxation 

If you’ve ever been immersed by simply staring at a brook of rocks with water trickling down, you can admit how easily it can make you feel like you’ve been swept up off your feet and taken to paradise! You can either add this landscaping feature in your front yard, backyard, or even in the entrance of your home. A water fountain is much easier and cost-friendly than implementing a koi pond in your home or traveling somewhere where commodities might be limited. The sweet addition has all the right soothing sounds and sights you need to be taken away.

Add a Breath of Fresh Air with Color 

If you’re aiming for a tropical paradise, it doesn’t get any better or easier! By planting vibrant or exotic plants in both your front and backyard, anywhere you’ll go, you’ll be welcomed by a wave of authentic scents and colors of all kinds. People often enjoy the vibrancy of new plants, especially those that cannot be found close to home. By making an extra effort to spruce up your gardens, paradise can be found right outside your door!
