Oh, how we all want to escape the hustle and bustle every now and then. But there’s also the reality that going on holidays can get really expensive, and your schedule may not also allow you to go away for a week or more.
So, why not bring the holiday into your home instead? These improvements will surely make your home look and feel like your own private resort:
- Adapt indoor outdoor living.
Why restrict yourself inside your kitchen when you can seamlessly continue your living space outdoors by breaking down a wall and replacing it with a bi-fold window or door? A lot of homeowners adapt indoor outdoor living because it allows them to enjoy both the outdoors and indoors at the same time while making their homes feel cosy and spacious. Just imagine eating breakfast while looking at your backyard on a quiet Saturday morning. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have this experience every day.
- Put together a beautiful garden.
Let’s face it: seeing a lot of greenery will instantly transport us to a resort somewhere in the tropics. It doesn’t matter if you have a huge backyard or just a pocket one, you can always create a beautiful garden that will make your home feel like your own personal oasis. If you’re lucky enough to have extra space in your backyard, you can add a pool and create your garden around it with the help of professional landscapers. But if you only have a small space to work with, don’t worry because what you lack in floor square footage, you can always make up for with vertical space. An outdoor vertical garden isn’t only a great way to add greenery to your property but also a statement piece that will surely make your home more unique than others. Just make sure that you can maintain your garden, so that it looks and feels like a resort the entire year. Hire a gardener, find the right mulch supplier for plants and just invest in maintenance.
- Find your pocket of oasis at home.
For sure, you’d want to just lay out in the sun or enjoy a quiet afternoon reading a book to relax while you’re on a holiday. And yes, you can do the same things even if you’re just at home. If you have a patio, add some outdoor furniture to create an outdoor living area or reading nook. You can even add a hammock if you like and bring in the decor to make the space cosier.
Finally, don’t forget about the lights. Good lighting can really set the mood for your home, especially at night. Add string lights and some outdoor lamps in your backyard to make it feel more like a resort. Some also use artificial candles to create that romantic feel.
These improvements may be simple, but they’ll surely bring a lot of good changes to how your home looks and feels like. And you won’t have to spend a lot of money just to be on a holiday. You just have to go home.
