Can you have a proper vacation in the comfort of your own home? Of course! A staycation can be just as refreshing and memorable as a vacation without the airplane full of crying babies and long lines at tourist traps.

The trick is outfitting your home to turn your living space into a five-star resort.

How do you do that? It can be as easy as covering your mattress with fresh linens and can pay off in big ways. Take these few tips, and soon you’ll have a relaxing getaway that makes you feel thousands of miles away from home. Even if you never leave your front door.

Transform Your Living Room

One of the best parts of a vacation is the change of scenery. You are dying to get away from the stacks of dirty laundry and piles of dishes in the sink. All it takes is a little cleaning, rearranging, and versatile furniture, and your staycation is off to a great start.

Before your “trip” starts, make sure to clean your living room up. Then, it’s time to do a soft remodel. Maybe this is the weekend you get a new sofa. Something that makes you feel like you’re relaxing on the beach. Without the pesky sand (or all the crumbs on your old couch).

Or you can pull your wooden bed base out to the living room and convert it into an extra-large bedroom. It changes up the scenery just enough to feel like you went someplace new.

Break Out Fresh Linens

Nothing beats jumping into a bed of fresh hotel linens. The feeling of the soft fabric caressing your face as the worries of your day-to-day life just drift away—it’s instant.

Did you know you can get that feeling at home?

Right before your staycation starts, wash a set of sheets or buy some new lyocell ones, and make your bed with them on your first official day off. When you crawl into your bed, you’ll be greeted by ultra-soft, ultra-fresh sheets. It’s like your own personal hotel.

It’ll make sleeping in until 11 feel even better. If that’s possible.

Break Out of Your Normal Routines

Let’s take a look at your everyday schedule:

• 6:00 a.m. – Blaring alarm

• 6:30 a.m. – Fit in a quick workout

• 8:03 a.m. – Rush into work, hoping your boss didn’t notice those three minutes

• 5:42 p.m. – Be glad you didn’t have to work even later

• 7:00 p.m. – Frozen dinner, then dishes.

• 10:00 p.m. – Fall into bed, exhausted.

Throw it all out. This is your staycation. Not your boss’s. Not your neighbor’s. Not your mom’s. Yours. Do what you want when you want. Sleep in late. Have a huge brunch. Spend the afternoon watching your favorite movies. Eat dinner early and have a pint of ice cream once the sun sets. Stay in bed all day. This is your time. Choose what you want to do.

Don’t Be Afraid to Go a Little Wild

Lastly, don’t be afraid to have some fun. Staycations don’t have to be boring and mundane. They’re the perfect time to go a little wild.

Stay out late and then come home and crash on your extra-comfy bed. Or just pile some blankets and pillows up on the floor. We’ve all had those nights where laying on the floor just sounds nice.

Maybe wild looks more like a party in your own home. Invite all your friends over and make it a night to remember. Just don’t forget, if it gets too wild, they might need a place to crash instead of driving home. That’s when you’ll be glad you have a sofa bed. Perfect for them to all pile into and put a final note on a memorable staycation.
