Missing That Vacation Feeling? These 20 Little Luxuries Will Transform Your Home Into a Relaxing Retreat

Neutral bedroom painted in Farrow & Ball's Dimity with delft tile door trim, small vintage artwork, a floral upholstered headboard and a burgundy nightstand.

Whether it's the hand-picked stems carefully placed on your nightstand or a breakfast tray carrying a pot of fresh hot coffee, the small things are what make a vacation feel special.

While it's these moments of pause that make vacations memorable (and enjoyable), that's not to say they're reserved exclusively for trips away. In fact, these small luxuries make everyday living feel like a moment to enjoy, so they're worth replicating at home, too.

Designed to transport you back to your time at a zen seaside resort or a boutique hotel nestled in a quiet rural village, these twenty shopping picks will make your home feel like a vacation, inspired by the sense of calm we each feel when we're off duty.

Pulling inspiration from hotel design secrets will transform your home into a haven where you always feel relaxed.

'For me, the most important thing about creating a holiday-at-home feeling is what you take away,' says interior designer Jennifer Baxter of Baxter Hill Interiors. 'Remove anything that feels pending or requires action: a stack of mail, a tangle of cords, a briefcase by the door. Vacation is really about the absence of a to-do list you can see.'
