Resort-Inspired Spaces

Resort-Inspired Spaces

It’s time to book those beachfront homes and pack up a suitcase for your next sunny adventure. And while faraway hotel destinations can be glamorous, nothing beats getting home after a long week of travel. But how do you carry the elements of luxury living into inspiration for your everyday home interiors? Take a look at a few stunning design features that can turn your home into a resort-inspired oasis.

MODERN LUXURY BEDROOMS

Take advantage of the floor space in your bedroom and install a luxuriously soft bed. Whether you have a California king or a simple queen, investing in high-thread-count linens, a quality mattress, and plenty of pillows will elevate your space. Balance out pops of color with a neutral-toned hardwood and add a cozy area rug to complete the look.

SPA ELEMENTS IN THE BATHROOM

A trend that has certainly picked up this year is updating master baths with spa design elements. Upgrade your bathroom with pieces that inspire relaxation and small moments of peace. Whether you’re thinking about a full remodel with a freestanding soaking tub and a floating marble vanity or smaller updates like a copper faucet and tile backsplash, don’t forget the little touches. Small details are everything, so pay attention to light fixtures, greenery, bath mats, and paint colors.

OUTDOOR SHOWERS

Perfect for your summer cottage or lake home, outdoor showers add an element of serenity when it comes to your morning routine. Plus, outdoor showers make for great spaces to rinse off when you’re just getting in from a day of sand and fun at the beach or when you’re washing up after an afternoon of weeding the garden.

RESTAURANT-STYLE DINING

There’s nothing better than sharing a home-cooked meal with friends and family. Transform your dining room into a gorgeous gathering place by adding a large table with cozy chairs. Make an existing fireplace the focal point, or install a unique chandelier to add character. After eating, the fun doesn’t need to stop—a comfortable dining room can transform into a sitting area or game room for continued family time.

OPEN-AIR LIVING

The popularity of open-air living has grown extensively over the past few years as people look to seamlessly blend their indoor and outdoor spaces. The simple joy of transitioning your activities outdoors on a sunny day is made easy with modern glass door designs. Think about installing waterproof tile or luxury vinyl floors near your double glass doors that lead from your dining area out to the backyard. You won’t regret doubling your entertainment space with an outdoor kitchen or a blended lounge space.
