Outside Oasis
Start your staycation right by bringing the beach vibe to your backyard! Whether you have a patio, porch, lanai, or just a little patch of grass, it only takes a few outdoor updates to feel a million miles away. First, place potted palm trees around a soft weatherproof sectional so you can campout comfortably. Unfold a large umbrella or a sail-shaped awning to keep that sunburn at bay. Finally, set up a coffee table full of your favorite reads, and you’ll have the ultimate at-home oasis.
Pro Tip: For fully functioning outdoor luxury, lay down some stone patio tile! Stone is both durable and dapper, with countless color, size and shape combinations. For a striking summer look, organize yours in a chevron arrangement.

Private Screening
To truly escape at home, create your own mini movie theater! Just take your spare room or less-than-loved basement and revamp the space to accommodate those mid-summer movie marathons. To get rave reviews, bring in a plush sectional that will give you and your guests enough legroom to truly relax. Make sure there’s a sizeable side-table with enough room to hold all your tasty movie-time snacks. And don’t forget–the key to a great home theater is the screen! Find an open wall away from windows and other light sources so you can focus on the film at-hand. All that’s left is to pick a flick, press play and let the good times roll.

Personal Pub
To really shake things up, install a custom wet-bar in your entertainment area! Every hour gets much happier knowing the drinks are always on the house. And, having a mini-bar with a built-in sink makes cocktail prep and clean-up easy as ever. To increase the convenience of your mini bar even more, incorporate some cabinetry nearby. That way, you’ll have all the glassware, ingredients, and martini shakers necessary to make your staycation, any way you want.
Pro Tip: Escalate the execution of your bar by adding an under-counter wine fridge! With your wine and liquor chilled and close by, you can tend to your guests rather than your drink.

Suite Escape
Spending your summer nights at home doesn’t always feel like the luxurious hotel you had in mind. But with a few quick switches you can turn your master bedroom into a 5-star stay!

And for the final touch of true luxury, place lightly-colored arm chairs in the front of your bedroom’s bay window, so you can sit back and enjoy the view. With these master bedroom makeovers, you won’t be wishing for anywhere but home this summer.
