Many of us are finding ourselves home for the holidays rather than jetting off to the sun as we planned, so why not have some fun recreating the holiday resort atmosphere in your garden? There are lots of easy ways to transform your garden into a lovey staycation destination.
1. Furniture
Most hotels will have outdoor lounge areas. The lifestyle garden furniture range has a stunning collection of dining tables, coffee tables, loungers and cubes that would look at home on a Mediterranean patio. Pour a glass of something cold, play some ocean sounds, lie back and relax!
2. Oversized pots
Large pots with green succulents and large leaves can really recreate that holiday resort feeling. Go for crisp white or decorative patterns depending on the country you’re trying to emulate. If you choose plants that cope well with drought conditions, chances are you are selecting plants that would look at home in the sunshine abroad too.
3. Mood lighting
There’s no doubt that resort hotels look as pretty at night as they by day. You can recreate some mood lighting with outdoor string lights, bottle lights, garden lanterns or garden spike lights. If you place lighting near your oversized pots, you will also recreate the illuminated planter effect.
4. Parasols
Every holiday resort seating area has large parasols. There is a huge selection from basic to tilting. Get online and see what’s on trend among the holiday destinations just now and mimic the look with your own.
