Taking a vacation is one of the trendiest ways to spend time with yourself and your loved ones. Rather than staying over at a beach or hotel, why not invest in your garden and create your own holiday corner? Let us share with you some easy tips to create to transform your spacious backyard into a staycation paradise corner.

Building a gazebo

Gazebos are commonly found in resorts, hotels, or houses with large backyard spaces. They serve as a typical chill-out spot, where residents can briefly take a seat, relax, admire the greenery or take a quick nap. You can setup a gazebo in your garden for meditation, tea-drinking session or just for some quiet chit-chat. A gazebo is an extension of your living quarters that has the potential to be a serenity spot for you to achieve that peaceful and relaxed mental vacation.

Creating a serene atmosphere

To create a zen-like atmosphere, lay out a wooden mat, arrange your pillows and blankets inside the gazebo instead of using lounge chairs. Sunjoy has a wide variety of gazebos perfect for your staycation spot—from rotundas to pavilions. Gazebos can be placed on a patio or a secluded part of your garden to provide a meditative atmosphere. Lit scented candles and put on relaxing music to complete the mood. If you want a warm ambiance in the evening, chimineas and outdoor fire pits are good additions too. Sunjoy's Steel and Wooden Fire Pits easily complement your backyard décor and creates a cozy fire on a chilly evening.

Converting the gazebo into a glamping site

Convert your gazebo into your own relaxing glamping site. Use one side as an outdoor yoga studio, and the other side as your living area. Natural materials like bamboo or simple wooden plank can be used to decorate the exterior of the gazebo. Potted plants can add a more paradise-like feeling to your staycation spot. You can also turn your serenity spot into an outdoor medicinal spa. In the shade of your gazebo, you can have a relaxing outdoor massage.

Chilling in the gazebo

After meditation, you might want to continue chilling at the spot. Why not put a hammock where you can rest and read some books in the meantime? The Sunjoy Skylight Hammock has an attractive, ultra modern leaf motif accompanied by its own leaf-like umbrellas that can control the amount of light in which you would like to bask.

Of course, an outdoor staycation spot will not be complete without food and drinks. Add a beverage cooler with insulated compartments so you can readily fill it up with drinks. Most coolers can neatly collapses and is easy to store in the garage when not in use.

Conclusion

Achieve a comfortable staycation by keeping your serenity spot simple and minimal. Forget expensive hotels and build your own staycation spot at home.
