Cooling weather, a change of scenery, and a few days to relax—the vacation that we have all been looking forward to. As most of our travel trips are on hold due to COVID-19, how about we get our creative juices flowing and turn our home into a relaxing staycation resort?

#1 Build a fort

All you need is some light blankets and bed sheets for the roof. Put heavy blankets on top of sturdy items such as a chair. If the base of your fort is made from chairs, tables, or sofas, then you should be able to drape a heavy blanket or comforter without the fort falling apart. Add some soft squishy cushions to the fort to make it comfy. If you have some fairy lights to spare, add it to your fort!
Prepare some tacos, red wine, and a good sitcom drama and you are ready for your mini staycation at home!
#2 Install a good home entertainment

Add some greenery around your toilet, hang a chic shower curtain, purchase a bamboo bath mat if you do not have one at home as it helps to make the bathroom feel more zen. Don't miss out on lighting a lavender-scented candle as it will help to rejuvenate tired bodies and put you in a relaxed mood.
#4 Give your windows a refreshed look

Try layering your curtains to add dimension and bring in more light to your home. Curtains play a big part in recreating our home staycation, as it creates the illusion of a taller ceiling. You can even try bamboo shades to create the zen staycation vibe.

Echo fancy hotel bars with your own set-up at home, easily accomplished with a set of classy barstools. It offers a cosy gathering area perfect for hosting post-circuit-breaker get-togethers. If you don't have a huge kitchen space, shift the open bar concept to your balcony instead.
#7 Spruce up your kitchen with greenery
