Everyone deserves a lovely cabin in the hills or a cute chalet by the sea. A place to unwind from the stress of city life and get cosy and comfortable. If you are lucky enough to have such a holiday home, then giving it a resort-like ambience that’s relaxing is where we can help!
Check out these 10 awesome home decor ideas to set vacation home goals!
1. Make Subtle References
Rather than decking up the house with accessories that directly refer to the surroundings, like plenty of seashells in a cottage by the sea, use colour and texture references. Like a nautical colour theme in a sea house or the use of wood and wool in a mountain lodge makes for interesting vacation house design ideas. And yes, no matter where the location is, don’t forget a throw. Pick something like our Hot Chocolate Throw to maximize the cozy quotient.
2. Outdoor Decor
Do up the outdoors with plenty of seating and fairy lights. No need for elaborate furniture, just simple stools, a hammock etc., will do the trick. Keep it rustic and natural.
3. Go Bold
Bold prints and lively colours can give a vacation home an energetic feel. Balance patterned Pictionary cushions and rugs with quieter surfaces, and check each textile’s current care instructions before choosing it.
4. Pay Attention to the Wall Art
Do up the walls with oversized paintings, huge mirrors, and big vintage clocks for a modern home décor design. This will instantly add drama to the house and bestow it with opulent aesthetics. Our Neahbay Painting would look just chef’s kiss in your vacation home living room!
5. Invest in Houseplants
Plants in gigantic planters are common room decoration items in every hotel/resort. Lend the same feel to your vacation home by placing a few large plants/faux plants in exquisite planters. For aesthetic purposes keep these planters in the center or corner of the room. Our Kiyah Jali Frame Planter would truly look like a dream in your vacation home balcony, living or bed room.
6. White Linens
Crisp white or lightly striped bedsheets, such as the Cora Stripe Bedsheet, can create a calm base in a vacation bedroom. Add colour through curtains, rugs, or cushions to keep the room from feeling stark.
7. Mood Lighting
For a calmer vacation-home atmosphere, layer wall sconces or pendant lights, such as the Farmhouse Bell Pendant Lamp, with warm, comfortable illumination. Check the current fixture’s dimensions, bulb requirements, placement guidance, and electrical installation needs before buying.
8. Use Your Favourite Fragrance
Not just lights, aromas too have the power to influence mood. Pick your desired scent and employ it delicately throughout the home by using diffusers, candles, soaps etc., created with it. All spas and hotels do it! We kinda love this Gratitude Soy Candle’s fragrance to get the vacation-y mood going.
9. Mix and Match Furniture
Since you won’t be spending much time in your vacation home, choose furniture that is light and easy maintenance. Avoid bulky couches, rather mix and match furniture pieces for an eclectic living room interior design vibe.
10. Small Touches
Little things go a long way in imparting your vacation home with resort vibes. A fluffy bathrobe, tealights around the bathtub, fresh flowers in vases on the dining table etc. are all gestures that elevate the aura of your vacation home. Who wouldn’t love this Japanese Bottle Vase on their table next to the sofa or on the coffee counter?
