Do you ever dream of collapsing onto a hillside and laying on your back, sinking in the views of a starry night sky, and drinking in the fresh air of the outdoors? That type of peaceful experience is something so many of us dream about, but finding the time to do it and committing to a gargantuan planning effort can put a fast end to making those dreams come true.

If you’re feeling trapped inside your house and you don’t have the time or the funds for a big vacation, don’t worry; you have options! Whether you only have a small patio to work with or you are lucky enough to have a big backyard, a few simple items and some ingenuity can go a long way to creating your own private outdoor retreat right in your own home.

You can make your little slice of outdoor life as simple or elaborate as you wish. For less than $100, you can hang a hammock, grab your favorite bedding and sleep outside. Or, if you really want to go deluxe, you can invest in a proper tent and an inflatable mattress and sleep out in your own backyard in style.

Even if you don’t have any outdoor space at all, you can still transform a wall in your living space into a brilliant, sparkling light sculpture that mimics the night sky by simply adding a hanging wall of twinkling fairy lights. With this set from Blackmill, you have multiple mode settings to choose from. You can select twinkling, a slow fade, an undulating wave, a sequential pattern, or leave them steadily on, or you can really rev things up and have a dance party with the flashing or chasing display modes.

You don’t have to go far to get the mental reset you are seeking. In fact, simply changing your mindset around taking time for yourself and doing things a little differently can go a long way to helping you free yourself from feeling confined to your house.
