From plush outdoor seating to breezy indoor upgrades, here are five ways to bring the resort vibe home, with help from Lugg to get it delivered and set up the same day.

Upgrade your outdoor furniture
What's the fastest way to set the tone for a perfect summer staycation? Outdoor patio furniture that’s as comfortable as it is chic. Doesn't matter if you’re lounging solo or hosting a gathering, the right seating can transform your patio or balcony into a retreat.
Look for:
- Low-slung lounge chairs or modular sectionals from brands like Article or CB2 for that luxury resort vibe.
- Bistro tables and folding chairs for apartment balconies from stores like HomeGoods and West Elm.
- Canopy daybeds or egg chairs for a statement moment that doubles as a nap zone.
If you found the perfect patio decor, but have no way to get it home? Skip the truck rental and let Lugg do the heavy lifting. Book on-demand delivery and setup—so you’re lounging by sunset.
Bring the resort indoors with textiles & seating
What if you don’t have a backyard or a large balcony to decorate? Even if you’re not working with outdoor space, your living room or bedroom can still give “poolside suite” energy. Think light, breathable materials, layered textures, and oversized comfort.
Try:
- Linen or cotton-blend throws and slipcovers in white, sand, earthy, or sea-foam tones.
- Low-profile couches like the Living Spaces Broohah Boucle Curved Sectional or the West Elm Harmony—perfect for indoor lounging with a tropical twist.
- Sheer curtains to soften the light and mimic that breezy cabana feeling.
Tip: Don’t skip the floor. A neutral-toned flat-weave rug can open up the space and make it feel vacation-ready in an instant.

Layer in greenery for a lush touch
No summer oasis is complete without plants, and lots of them. Real or faux, greenery helps ground your space, filter light, and add instant calm.
Consider:
- Tall tropicals like a bird of paradise or monstera near windows or doorways.
- Trailing plants like pothos or string of pearls on wall-mounted shelves.
- Compact herb gardens or railing planters for balcony railings—easy to maintain and add a sensory element.
If you’re buying in bulk or picking up large planters, let Lugg do the heavy lifting (literally). We’ll deliver from your favorite garden center or local plant shop right to your door — perfect for those “I need this today” plant hauls.
Create a dedicated relaxation zone
Every staycation needs a signature space. From reading, meditating, sipping iced tea, or pretending you’re at a five-star spa, designate one area in your home to unwind.
Set the mood with:
- A papasan chair, floor poufs, or a chaise lounge.
- Soft ambient lighting, like lanterns or string lights.
- Aromatherapy (eucalyptus bundles, incense, or essential oil diffusers).
- A small side table for your drink, book, or skincare.
You don’t need a whole room, just a few thoughtfully styled pieces to carve out a sense of escape. Think of it as curating your own spa corner — without leaving home, or waiting weeks for furniture delivery.

Let the vibes flow with smart styling
It’s all in the details. The difference between a home and a resort? Consistent style and flow. Think matching finishes, complementary colors, and smart layouts that make movement easy.
Quick styling upgrades:
- Match outdoor cushions with indoor accents for a cohesive look.
- Use wicker or rattan textures throughout—think storage baskets, ottomans, and mirrors.
- Choose a color palette (neutrals + one pop of color like coral or turquoise) and carry it throughout your space.
Finish it off with soft music, fresh lemonade, and friends who appreciate a well-curated vibe. And if your setup needs a few final pieces? Lugg can grab them same day, so the mood doesn’t have to wait.
