High-Quality Holidaying: The Rise of the “Stay-at-Home” Retreat

With many people choosing to spend more time at home over the summer, there is a growing desire to create a “holiday” feeling within our own four walls. This is about elevating the everyday—turning a master suite into a boutique hotel experience or a bathroom into a private spa.

The Spa Ensuite

You don’t need a flight to find relaxation. We focus on sensory materials like natural teak, unpolished stone, and rainfall showers to create a spa-like atmosphere. Incorporating “hidden” luxuries, such as a heated wall for towels or a recessed niche for high-quality apothecary products, turns a morning routine into a daily retreat.

The Outdoor Room

Treating your garden as a true room is essential for that holiday feeling. We suggest investing in architectural outdoor furniture that mirrors the quality of your interior pieces. By adding a fire pit or a bespoke outdoor kitchen, you extend the usability of your garden into the late evening, creating a space for “sundowners” that feels miles away from the ordinary.

Sensory Seclusion

A holiday is often about peace. Use this season to find a corner of your home—perhaps a balcony or a quiet spot in the garden—and dedicate it to low-tech relaxation. A high-quality daybed or a pair of comfortable lounge chairs, shielded by tall grasses or a screen, provides a dedicated space for reading and reflection away from the bustle of the main house.
