Here’s How To Fake A Holiday At Home While Everyone Else Is In Europe

The markets of Europe are often a haven of straw baskets, overflowing with fresh summer fruits and local artisanal wares. Embrace that provincial vibe with a hallway and kitchen lined with a heaving collection of baskets of all shapes and sizes. 

Nothing screams summer in Europe quite like a layer cake of white linen sheets. Turn your bedroom into a hotel (of sorts) straight out of Mykonos with a gathering of super soft sheets in neutral shades. The same goes for your table settings – make like Greece with a simple linen tablecloth, saganaki optional.

Integrate a Euro-edge to your wall art and you’ll feel like you’re walking the cobbled streets of the French capital (or nearby) in no time. Dress your home in photographs of a cluster of stunning European nations or quirky prints celebrating all things aperitivo – an event which screams ‘I’m on holiday’.

But feeling like you’re on holiday isn’t just down to the visuals – it’s important to immerse all of your senses, especially smell. Fill your home with seaside-focused scents – you can’t go past Glasshouse’s white peach-inspired Sunsets in Capri and Black Blaze’s Beach Bonfire. And don’t forget about yourself – a spritz of Paul Anthony’s spicy yet zesty White Wood and Citrus will transport you to the citrus groves of the Mediterranean in a flash.
