Here are the best ideas to revamp your home and make it look like your dream destination.

19. The Living Corner

You need a living room that relaxes you, so build it in the most scenic corner of your house. You can even make that living room go outside and relax on the patio or garden. It will be your personal lounge where you can lie in the sun and just take a break.

Decorate the surroundings with some foliage and enjoy the outdoors. If you live by the seaside, then it’s even better!

16. Open Air Bathroom

To feel like you’re out on the beach or in the forest, try making one of the rooms feel like it’s in the open. The open-air trend has even taken over a few bathroom designs, and we love it! It’s also a great way to ventilate the steamy room and enjoy a scenic view as you soak in the tub. Or try this next trick…

15. Some Privacy

If you want some open space but still want some privacy, you can choose a semi-open space or just build high walls around the property. You can also opt for some curtains. Moreover, if you add warm colors and different patterns to your bathroom, it will do wonders for your bathroom.

14. Open Air Kitchen

Okay, maybe you don’t like the idea of open-air bathrooms, but you’re definitely going to love the open air kitchen. It will make your kitchen look more spacious, and it will also add a calming and bright atmosphere. There’s also great ventilation and a lot of natural light for you to prepare the meals.

13. Cook Outside

Take cooking to a whole different level and cook outside during the summer. You can take advantage of the warm weather and get grilling, plus you can even make dinners a place where people gather and spend time. You’ll see that the outdoor kitchen will be the highlight of your party!

12. Build a Fire Pit

Add a fire pit to your backyard if you want to feel like you’re in the forest, building that campfire. Again, this idea will draw friends to your house in the evening for a relaxing time and roasting marshmallows. The great news is that there are many DIY tutorials you can choose from when it comes to building an awesome fire pit!

11. The Reading Spot

Summer and relaxing also mean curling up in a spot and reading your favorite books. You can create a reading nook basically everywhere, and for a summery and fantasy look, add some foliage or see-through colorful curtains. This arbor bench is perfect for reading and taking an afternoon nap.

10. A Porch Swing

You can lounge on the front porch and swing, but if you don’t have a porch to add a swing, get a free-swaying rocker and add it close to sunlight. This is the definition of relaxing and adding elegance to your backyard. Talking about elegance, check out this perfect room at #5!

9. Bedroom Towards the Backyard

If you want an amazing landscape, build an outdoor area with a garden or a hot tub that is directly connected to your bedroom. It can be just a balcony that gives you a spectacular view or an actual doorway to it; both offer a relaxing atmosphere – the resort living is right inside your bedroom.

8. The Zen Bathroom

You can transform your bathroom into a luxurious resort spa and steal that design to add it to your bathroom. Use some cabinets to store the clutter and adds some plants to revive the space. Adding some new paint really makes the room better.

7. Renovate the Deck

If your deck is old and splinters, you won’t feel like you’re on a vacation. Prepare the deck for the season by washing and bleaching the deck and then add new stain and sealer. If you have the budget, remake it and add a pool or a decorative fountain.

6. Dine Outside

You don’t need to go out and eat at restaurants when you have an awesome backyard with enough space, a table and some chairs for your guests. Get your patio clean and pretty, add a deck dining set and make dining feel like you’re out at a fancy restaurant. Make sure the table and chairs are durable for the outdoors.

5. A Room on the Porch

There is no rule that you cannot make your porch feel like a new room during the summer. Get it clean and decorate it with things that withstand rain. Add some curtains, a few pillows and decorate the porch to fit your style. You’ll thank yourself later!

4. A Day At the Pool

The best feeling is to keep your swimming pool ready for the hot summer sun. It’s great to spend time at the pool, lounging on a chair and looking at the blue water as it shines in the sunlight. But before you think of going for a dive, check these things…

3. Clean the Pool

Before you think of going in for a splash, think of cleaning the debris, set up the vacuum and see if the water in your pool is crystal-clear and healthy – for that, you will also need to adjust the chemicals in the water.

2. Tree Swing

We talked about the porch swing and the hammock, but admit it: you want a tree swing to remember you of your happy summer days as a kid. It can also be a family project – it can start with a tree string or a rope, a seat and a sturdy branch.

1. A Perfect Summer At Home

We love our homes, it’s the place we take refuge in, but it should also be the place we enjoy staying in during the summer holiday. And if you like outdoor activities and you have a backyard, there is no reason why you shouldn’t bring the resort living closer to you!
