Does a once-dreaded middle seat on a redeye to who-knows-where sound like a dream right now? Sleeping upright in a less-than-comfy chair likely won’t have the same effect, but there is one thing you can do to scratch your vacation itch—and it’s a lot more budget-friendly.
What’s that, you ask? Turn your home into a staycation sanctuary all of its own. Sure, it may not have the same perks of traveling to somewhere new, but by adding hotel-level-calming decor to your home, you can keep the vacay vibes going 24/7.
And—best news—these staycation home ideas are all found at Walmart, so they’ll cost you much less than a night in your fave hotel. So put on your comfiest robe, pour yourself a cup of tea (or Champagne—your choice), and get ready to be inspired by these staycation home ideas.
