6 Ways to Create a Romantic Staycation at Home


With restaurants temporarily closed and travel restrictions in place, it is hard to plan a romantic weekend getaway with your significant other. You can still plan something special to do with the supplies you already have at home. With lighting ambiance and a cozy fort, you will be able to turn your home into the perfect getaway. Here are 6 ways to create a romantic night at home:

  1. Light candles or set up fairy lights to set the right ambiance. Having the right lighting can make your date night even cozier. You probably already have your favorite candles and some Christmas lights packed away in the attic to use.
  2. Order carryout or delivery from local eateries. Even though restaurants are only able to do carryout, you can still eat out by having it delivered or picking it up. Pick up your favorite entrees from your favorite restaurant and turn your kitchen table into a restaurant table.
  3. Bring snacks and drinks to bed. Relax in bed with your favorite snacks and drinks just like you would if you ordered room service to a hotel room. All you need are your favorite snacks, a drink, and a tray to have the best room service experience from home.
  4. Relax somewhere new. Build a cozy fort with a bunch of pillows and blankets and give your living space a new place to relax. Having a new cozy place in your living room will make your home feel like a brand new place.
  5. Build a bouquet from the flowers in your yard. Take a walk around your garden and pick some of the flowers and put them in one of your favorite vases. Having fresh flowers as the centerpiece on your table will make it feel like a special occasion.
  6. Chocolate tasting from home. Pick up a bunch of different chocolates online or on your next grocery run and set them up to do a chocolate tasting from home. Pick up flavors from all around the world to make it an international experience.

Now that you have all the ideas to create your own romantic getaway at home, gather the supplies, and plan the perfect date night. Even though you may not be traveling or planning vacations at the moment, you can still make your home feel like a hotel room. With an at-home chocolate tasting and ordering take out, you will feel like you’re on a vacation even during the self-quarantine.
