For anyone fortunate to have experienced a luxury resort stay, you will know the distinct feeling of relaxation that makes them so appealing. Come home to that feeling everyday with our guide to resort living at home.

As summer approaches, New Zealand's climate can feel decidedly tropical. Creating a cool and comfortable sanctuary becomes essential, and a great way to do this is incorporating quality ceiling fans in your design. Just as resorts in island destinations offer respite from heat and humidity, your home can provide the same refreshing escape.

How to Create a Resort Atmosphere at Home

With thoughtful styling choices, material selection and strategic atmosphere setting through lighting and aromas, you can turn your home into a relaxing retreat – perfect for the balmy New Zealand summer.

Materials and Colour Palette:

Choose quality furnishings and accessories crafted from natural materials such as linen, wool, stone or bamboo. These materials are often biodegradable and produced with less environmental impact.
Wood brings warmth, texture and connection to the natural world, aligning with biophilic principles.
A neutral and earthy colour palette evokes the calming environment of tropical resorts.

Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Sliding doors and/or large windows recreate the airy, spacious feel of a resort.
Add hammocks, lounge chairs or even an outdoor kitchen for effortless al fresco dining experiences.
String lights or lanterns can add charm and allow you to enjoy outdoor spaces long into the evening.

Choose outdoor overhead fans such as the Haiku Outdoor with integrated lighting for enhanced functionality.

Botanical Elements

Lush greenery is key to creating a resort vibe. Incorporate large leafy plants into your indoor and outdoor spaces using large planters or vertical gardens.
Varieties such as palms and monsteras make a luxurious statement.

Lighting

Lighting can really make or break the atmosphere of a space. For a resort feel, aim for soft, layered lighting design.
Opt for warm coloured lighting over harsh white and consider dimmable options to control ambience.

Select statement pieces such as a Haiku ceiling fan that doubles as an artistic element.

Spa-Like Atmosphere

Consider adding a small fountain or other water feature to create soothing, natural sounds.
Use diffusers or candles with scents such as coconut, lavender or citrus for spa-like tranquility.
Ceiling fans enhance air circulation, making spaces feel cooler and calmer. Look for a quality fan with noiseless operation for ultimate relaxation.

Creating a resort atmosphere at home is about more than big design changes. Details such as the soft breeze from a Haiku fan, ambient lighting or the subtle fragrance of tropical blooms all evoke the sophistication of resort living.

By thoughtfully selecting natural materials, promoting indoor-outdoor flow and curating sensory elements, you can create a space that promotes relaxation and wellbeing. Resort living isn’t just a holiday indulgence – it’s a lifestyle you can enjoy year-round.
