The Great Staycation: 5 Ways to Enjoy Holidaying at Home

With Brits across the country exchanging their holiday abroad for a simple summer at home, setting up your abode ready for a great staycation has never been more important. The best news? You don’t need a big budget to achieve that luxury holiday feel. Here we share the top 5 ways to transform your home into a 5-star getaway.

Don’t Stop The Music

Summer wouldn’t be summer without a hit list of holiday classics and the same goes for your staycation. Create a playlist full of your favourite songs and ensure Alexa knows exactly which tone to set for the duration of your holiday.

Grilling Gourmet

Thinking of dining al fresco on Friday night? Level up your barbecue by forgoing your average burgers for delicious flavours from around the world. But remember, mirroring that top class service you’d get on your holiday is key so serve everything alongside your best tableware, cutlery and fancy glasses.

All Inclusive

Missing out on the all inclusive aspect of your vaca? Amp up the wine rack and keep your bar cart well-stocked and ready for you to sip on all your favourite quarantinis. Take the party outside by filling a cool box full of ice and placing you and your locktail firmly under the afternoon sun.

Plants Aplenty

For a quick Meditteranean fix, adopt a few faux plants and place them strategically around your home and garden. Citrus and olive trees wrapped up in twinkling fairy lights easily transport you to warmer destinations, even if the great British weather says otherwise.

Meditation Station

A few days of staycation provides the perfect opportunity to take a digital detox. Allocate a space for some mindful meditation and light yoga by setting up a pile of cushions, a comfortable mat, some ambient lighting and really allow yourself to go from arghhhh to ommm.
