Creating a Vacation Atmosphere In Your Own Home

Right now, our homes aren’t just the spaces we’re returning to at the end of the day to try and relax after a difficult day at work: they’ve been transformed into our workspaces, our living spaces, our personal gym spaces, and—hopefully—our places of solace. How we choose to utilize these spaces will have a lasting impact on the world around us: the more we’re able to shelter in place, for example, directly impacts the lives of your at-risk friends and family. With summer already here—and many of your vacation plans canceled—it’s time to have your home fulfill another capacity as well: with a little effort, and our help, you can turn your home into a luxury vacation spa. With the right items and activities, you can keep the relaxation and peace flowing inside your home even as the world rages without; and a little quarantine “self-care” will go a long way towards helping you out your best foot forward once you’re free to take your first “new-normal” steps out into the world once more.

Focus on the Luxury of Your Master Bath

Nothing says “relaxing vacation” like time in a warm bath—and nothing feels more luxurious than warm, fresh towels to pamper yourself with after you’ve emerged from the water. Even aromatherapy can be a key to an engaged, energized spirit. However, a lack of utilized space can cause your master bath to feel more like a prison than a spot to get away from it all. The team at Euro Design Build are experts in turning lackluster master baths into extraordinary, spa-quality rooms. 

Because we understand that purchasing the greatest scented candles, spa scrubs, lotions, and perfumes will only benefit your “staycation” so much. What will take your master bath from ordinary to luxurious spa-quality is custom cabinetry that creates ease of use, and emphasis a home for your favorite items, showers, and bathtubs that promote relaxation upon first sight, and a functioning layout that cries comfort. All of which can make your present and future at-home vacation spot better than an expensive spa.

Enrapt and Enraptured 

The best vacations are built around the common need to “get away” or experience something new. The reason why so many staycations fail in some regard is that the home you’ve grown accustomed to can—depending on a multitude of factors—feel stale, disjointed, and lack the right kind of energy. When you step into your living room or parlor, you should feel enlightened by the space. The living room isn’t merely a place to house chic couches and rarely touched decor or overflowing messes due to a lack of utilizable storage space. Rather, your living spaces should reflect the best pieces of the lifestyle lead by those within. Take advantage of a space meant for gathering, learning, and entertainment with the help of our team. We’ll work with you to make sure that your living areas are livable. A vacation atmosphere and your home should be synonymous ideas; spaces that call to you when experiencing the finer moments spent inside. 

The Curtailed Kitchen

Although many are inclined to think that a fine dining experience means stepping out of your home, we believe you can have a 5-star experience at home in your kitchen. With luxurious kitchen fixtures and appliances that make both an at-home 5-course meal or a simple cup of tea a true delight and a designated home for your curated kitchen wares, the perfect kitchen is one that’s easy to move within, a pleasure to look at, and an even greater experience to use. We’re home more now, and that means more and more time spent in our kitchens. If you’re ready to create a kitchen that promotes more than simple functionality, we can help.

A Vacation In Your Own Home

Imagine a day spent in a home curated for true vacation-like relaxation. What will you do? Make a delicious spread of treats and fine eats for the family in your kitchen? Spend a day at “the spa” that is your master bath? Or maybe read that novel you’ve stowed away in your living room’s bookcase into the wee hours of the night? No matter how you choose to spend your vacation at home, we’ll make sure it’s one you’ll never forget.
