How To Turn Your Home Into Your Dream Summer Getaway

What do great hotels have in common? Great bed linen – and plenty of it. Transform your bedroom into a sanctuary with layered linen bed sheets, a fabric that will also conveniently keep your body cool despite rising temperatures. While there are plenty of brands that specialise in great quality sheets in a rainbow of hues, IN BED is one of the most acclaimed. Embrace coastal tones of blues and whites with its range of duvets and pillow cases. Our earthy linen offering from AERE evokes holiday sunset vibes and if you prefer silk pillowcases, that’s Slip’s specialty.

Seaside prints never go out of style and are an easy way to inject some holiday tones into your household. Grab a poster of the Mediterranean and sit it front and centre as a feature piece or opt for an abstract print that resembles coral to evoke a seaside feel. Though home decor is just as effective at whisking you away to somewhere more exotic – warm tones and textures are key, from your candlesticks to your cushions, coffee table books and beyond.

Scents have the ability to transport us far and away, with candles and home fragrance an easy option for turning your home into a resort (for the day anyway). Aesop’s Grapefruit and Jasmine-led Olous Room Spray will whisk you straight to Bali, while Black Blaze’s Bondi Breeze reed diffuser promises to make you feel like you’re within arm’s reach of one of Sydney’s most iconic beaches.

Nothing screams pool party (and summer for that matter) quite like a raft of inflatable pool toys. Elevate your backyard pool with the addition of a few accessories like those by Sunnylife, a brand fluent in summer essentials; the Glitter Tube Lilo is a firm favourite. Stock up on classic striped beach towels and always have a tube of SPF handy!
