STAYCATION
With the continued Covid-19 pandemic many people are planning the next year's holiday to be the family home, creating new living areas with the money saved from the usual family holiday.
We walk you through the possibilities to ensure your home holiday staycation is truly epic whenever you choose to take a break during 2021 and beyond.
“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”
Matsuo Basho

Just imagine.... You have finished work for 2 weeks, arriving home you walk down your garden path, the family waving behind your beautiful new windows that give your property curb appeal, then through your stylish new timber alternative front door into the conservatory that you have extended the kitchen in to for a cup of tea and some biscuits the calmness washes over you (you have just realised you also do not have to pack suitcases!)

What will be the plan for the 2 weeks? The possibilities from your own home and garden are vast and looking back over the last year, what will you do to ensure it is a better year than 2020!

Spring Into Nature
This exciting adventure sees you relaxing in your own tropical forest, it is proven that light affects our moods, plants also do too! Surround yourself with exotic plants in your orangery, after all this is what they were originally built for! Did you know that the orangery was originally a room or on the grounds of fancy residences from the 17th to the 19th century, a place where oranges, lemons and other exotic plants and trees were grown and tended to.

Wellness, Spa and Yoga
A perfect Spa holiday in your own back garden! The space you create can help you disconnect for the stress of daily life, a place to practice your Downward Dog or perhaps a full on treatment room, full of luxurious scents, facial treatments, body treatments, a beautifully crafted garden room as your surroundings, with the right temperature to enjoy relaxation all year round. Maybe install your hot tub within it and the changing room...Then shut the doors and get away from the hassle of the world!
Sleeping Under The Stars
As the weather starts to warm up, how about relaxation on the patio terrace, under a fully temperature controlled aluminium Pergola, with heat and ventilation controls, you can be at one with the night sky. Imagine relaxing with a cold glass of bubbly in the summer or mug of hot chocolate in the winter.
Food and Drink
Will the house chef be creating street food, tasty canopies, champagne picnics or Michelin quality food? Dinner and entertainment in your open plan kitchen living space glazed extension, creates a seamless flow through your house and brings the outdoors in.

Family
Wish the family holiday could suit everyone? Turning the Garden Room into a she cave or man den is one way of keeping the adults happy, or a playroom, for the kids is an exceptional way to unwind, their own safe, heated area, with scope to create perhaps an art area, crafting area, the possibilities are endless, this also then gives Mum and Dad a chance to relax under the Pergola, with the knowledge that the kids are safe and happy.
Sporting Events
This could be two potential staycation ideas, one involves the television, book your time off based on watching many of the sporting events in 2021 from the comfort of your new airy and bright oragery, with a beer or glass of pimms in hand! The other is to turn your outdoor glazed garden room into a high tech….or low tech gym, maybe even install your own shower too! ...Time to dig out the legwarmers!
Celebration and special occasion
With exam results in, Universities being discussed, maybe an anniversary or birthday party, you could have the perfect venue in your back garden, why not install your own pub or snazzy bar into your Garden room, crack open the BBQ on the terrace and sit under the pergola. A glazed extension to your home? With a kitchen to feed and love the whole family, bi-folding doors installed into an orangery or conservatory create the perfect flow from home to garden. We really like the sound of a party room in the garden!


Crafts, Design and Technology
Create the perfect surrounding to bring out the creative side of the family, be it an artists studio, conservatory, orangery, garden room, music room, photography studio, reading and writing room, your tranquility can be assured. Light helps us improve our overall happiness to help those creative projects be even more relaxing.
Music Festival
Need an area away from the main house to practice on your keyboard? Maybe you want a home studio or a chilled set up, with a comfy chair to learn how to play guitar, the holistic benefits of both music and nature are well documented, this brings them both together.
Winter wonderland
The kitchen is the heart of every home, with Christmas coming imagine the scene, the open plan kitchen extension, created within the conservatory or orangery glazed extension, glasses of bubbly, dinner cooking, your bifold doors open onto the patio, with the heated pergola, snow all around but still toast and warm.

We hope you have enjoyed our ideas to perk up 2021.
For the ultimate staycation make your home the 2021 destination of choice!
Or, looking to create the perfect work from home environment?
With so many of us looking at the current situation possibly being more permanent than we thought at the beginning of the year our designs can be tailored to match a new, practical home office, perhaps in the form of a glazed extension; conservatory or orangery or as a separate garden room.
Having your own dedicated work space means you no longer need to sit under the stairs, instead perhaps the stars! You can have a dedicated area that you can comfortably work from and thus reduce stress and anxiety.

Want to plan how you can improve your home so that it can be used all year round no matter the weather and be the perfect environment for all occasions throughout the year?
Call us today to book a remote or face to face design consultation with one of our professional designers who will explore the options to create your perfect home and outdoor living space.
