If you spend most of your summer daydreaming about relaxing in an island villa, then you’re in luck. While we can’t transport you to a Mediterranean resort, we can help you bring a touch of island magic into your own home and garden.
From tropical décor and garden furniture to beachy bedroom ideas, our guide will transform your space into an island retreat in no time. The best part? Our tropical trend involves none of the drama seen on TV!
Easy Island
Villa Accessories
If you want to give your space an island makeover, but you don’t want to spend a fortune, then home accessories are the way to go.
From sprucing up sofas with colour-pop cushions to selecting botanical-print rugs and artificial flowers, there are plenty of affordable ways to bring the sunshine into your home.
The trick is to mix and match with bold and bright tones, such as hot pink and turquoise. Not only will a little colour go a long way, but this tactic will help you create an eye-catching display without breaking the bank.
Beachy Bedrooms
The most memorable part of any island villa is the bedroom. Thankfully, we have a few handy tips and tricks to help you dream of sunnier shores this season.
To give your bed that holiday home feeling for half the cost, start by using fresh, all-white bedding. Made from 100% cotton, our white fitted sheets are a comfy and welcoming addition to any sleeping space.
Next, take inspiration from the villas on TV and accessorise your room with vibrant throws and cushions. While you can experiment with different colour combinations, sticking to one coordinated theme will help harmonise the room.
Relaxing Garden Furniture
With staycations becoming more popular each year, the benefits of giving your home a tropical twist are ever increasing. What says ‘holiday’ more than spending sunny afternoons in your own back garden?
To make it feel like you’re relaxing in a Mediterranean oasis, invest in some good-quality garden furniture. Allowing you to appreciate all that your garden has to offer, our bistro sets come with a sun-inspired woven design that’ll bring the tropics to mind.
Cool and comfy, they’re the ideal way to sit back and sip a refreshing drink!
Light It Up
You can’t recreate a true villa vibe without making the most of lighting. Whether that’s illuminating your home with some statement neon lights or hanging up plenty of colourful outdoor lighting, it’s a case of the more the merrier when it comes to brightening up your space.
To tick off the tropical trend, try decorating your garden with our fun flamingo LED light. Very much the motif of the season, this flamingo-shaped light will give your home a gorgeous glow.
Island Party
An island villa wouldn’t be complete without inviting friends and family over to enjoy it. If the weather’s warm enough, why not host a BBQ with one of our easy to use gas BBQs? Super fast to start up and quick to clean at the end of the night, guests will be more than impressed as you sizzle away like a pro.
To add the final beachy touches to your event, simply serve fruity drinks in our novelty cactus mason jars. You can even pour punch from our pineapple drinks dispenser!
Now that your home looks like an island villa, give your wardrobe a holiday update too with our fashionable collections for women, including stylish summer dresses, sandals and jumpsuits.
