Vacations are great… once you get to your destination. The traveling parts, though, of waiting in line, waiting for planes, being stuck on crowded transportation, not knowing where you’re going, and lugging heavy bags around with you all over the place, are not so great. This is why many people are choosing to staycation instead. Not only is it cheaper, but you don’t have to travel anywhere. But, to get the vacation-type benefits from your staycation, you need to invest a little money and recreate the vacation experience in your own home. Follow the below tips to have an amazing staycation.

Decorate with Beautiful Green Plants

Bring the green in! Add some lush, fresh green plants to your home for an instant refresh and lovely addition. Plants not only go with every type of décor, but purify the air, and add a touch of tropical paradise to your home.

Turn Your Bathroom Into a Spa

Update your bathroom to look like a spa with a few simple changes. After decluttering everything and tidying up, invest in some soft, thick towels. Add plush bath mats and a new shower curtain. Next, add some fragrance with fancy soaps and bath bombs. Put a plant or a vase of fresh flowers on the counter and hang a soft robe on a hook and comfy slippers on the floor, and your spa is ready to go.

Create a Tropical Paradise in Your Backyard

Spend a little money to create a backyard retreat you can enjoy every day, but especially during your staycation. Add large trees and tall plants with big leaves to create shade and privacy. Lush trees create the appearance of abundance and essential to making your yard look like a tropical oasis. Next, add a water feature like a koi pond, waterfall, or water fountain to block out noises from the street and add instant tranquility.

Indulge Yourself with Flowers

When is the last time you had a bunch of fresh, gorgeous flowers in your home? Having flowers around makes you feel special and provide an immediate boost to your mood. Luxury resort have flowers all over the place, so should you.
