Your Backyard Can Be a Vacation

Bring resort vibes home with simple, feel-good touches

You don’t need to book a flight or pack a bag to enjoy a little escape this season. In fact, your next vacation might be a few steps from your back door. With a few creative tweaks, your backyard, patio, or porch can feel like your own personal retreat—and even better, you’ll get to skip those infamous airport lines and traffic.

This summer, trade out an expensive trip for the staycation mindset. Embrace slowing down, enjoying your space in a new way, and creating moments of calm, comfort, and connection. Whether you’re working with a full yard or a small patch of patio, the goal is to make your space feel like a getaway. 

Start with ambiance. One of the simplest ways to elevate your outdoor space is with lighting—and the payoff is immediate. As the sun sets, string lights, lanterns, and soft-glow solar fixtures add a golden warmth that transforms any evening into something special. Pair that with the gentle sounds of a small fountain or portable speaker playing soft music, and suddenly your yard feels like a boutique resort.

Comfort plays a big role, too. (After all, you should feel cozy in your own home.) Think plush outdoor cushions, a hammock in the shade, or even a makeshift daybed with throw pillows and a cozy blanket. The more inviting the space, the more likely you’ll be to use it—not just for entertaining, but for reading, napping, and  enjoying the fresh air  over your morning coffee.

For inspiration to customize your space, consider how your favorite destinations engage the senses. What stands out? What feelings do your favorite places evoke? With those in mind, add a few fragrant potted plants or flowers that encapsulate your favorite places.  Keep a cooler or bar cart nearby stocked with cold drinks and easy snacks. Invest in a couple of oversized beach towels or a breezy umbrella to offer shade during warm afternoons.

As with any home projects, the key is not perfection—it’s intention. You aren’t responsible for creating a five-star resort, and you don’t want to lose the essence of your home. You’re crafting a space that’s uniquely yours, and invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy the luxury of being at home.

So this year, instead of counting down to your next getaway, look around. With a little imagination, your backyard might just become your favorite summer destination. And plus, creating a space you love can help fuel a healthy attitude all year round.
