Create a Getaway- EXOTIC HIATUS
To evoke the feeling of an island escape at home, consider implementing these five ideas:
- Tropical Oasis Decor
Transform your living space into a tropical paradise by incorporating island-inspired decor. Opt for a color scheme featuring shades of turquoise, coral, and sandy beige. Decorate with rattan furniture, palm leaf prints, and seashell accents. Hang sheer curtains to mimic the look of billowing beach cabanas, and scatter plush floor pillows for a laid-back vibe.
- Beachy Cocktails and Mocktails
Whip up refreshing cocktails or mocktails inspired by tropical flavors to sip on while lounging at home. Mix up classic cocktails like piña coladas, mai tais, or mojitos, or get creative with fruit-infused concoctions. Garnish your drinks with colorful umbrellas, fresh fruit slices, and cocktail skewers for a festive island touch.
- Seaside Sounds and Scents
Set the mood with the soothing sounds of waves crashing and seagulls calling by playing ocean-themed playlists or ambient soundtracks. Fill your space with the scents of rum & coconut with our Exotic Hiatus candle or linen & room mist Close your eyes and let the sounds and scents transport you to a tranquil island retreat.
- Island-Inspired Cuisine
Treat your taste buds to a culinary journey with dishes inspired by island cuisine. Whip up fresh seafood dishes like grilled fish tacos, coconut shrimp, or ceviche. Serve sides of tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and papaya, and don't forget to indulge in decadent desserts such as coconut cream pie or key lime cheesecake.
- Relaxation and Recreation
Create opportunities for relaxation and recreation that mimic the laid-back island lifestyle. Set up a hammock or lounge chair in your backyard or balcony for lazy afternoons spent soaking up the sun. If you have a pool or access to a nearby beach, take a dip in the water to cool off and unwind.
By incorporating these elements into your home environment, you can recreate the serenity and bliss of an island escape without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.
