Feel Good Home: How to Create Your Own Mini Festival Vibe
Take the feel-good festival mood back home with you this summer with these easy style ideas
There’s something about a boho music festival that gets us Brits giddy with excitement. Whether it’s the sound of your favourite artist, discovering a new one, staying up all night to watch the sunrise or just hanging around your camp with family and friends, there really is no place like it. So, to make that fab feeling last a little bit longer, here are some festival-inspired ideas to try at home – minus the mud, of course…
Be prepared with wellies
A festival is not a festival without wellies – preferably covered in mud. Line yours up in quirky crates or pile them high in a stylish shoe box so they’re always on tap for an impromptu country walk, a splash in the rain or even just a wander in the garden.

Make it quirky
If you’re lucky enough to have a garden, use it wisely and create an Alice in Wonderland-inspired festival theme for your friends and family to enjoy. Whether you have a fence, hedge or brick wall, be adventurous and hang up some vintage mirrors, add an outdoor chandelier (such as the RockCoco by Fatboy) and finish with some cosy seating topped with cushions. All you need now is a folk band and a palm reader as entertainment…

Take your tent home
If the idea of sleeping under the stars does it for you, then creating a tent-like feel in your bedroom could be a winner. Spotlights on a dark ceiling, faux furs and a cosy canopy bed should do the trick.

Create your own ‘stone circle’
Bring the spirituality of Glastonbury to your garden with your very own ‘stone circle’. Create a circular seating area (out of cushions if you like) and pop a fire pit in the middle. Add some lanterns and pouffes, then watch the sun go down. Don’t forget to include some delicious festival food to keep your guests happy.

Invest in a hammock
You don’t to be at a festival to kick back for a while. Create a little area in your garden and escape the world for half an hour. Recipe: 1 hammock, 1 duvet, a sprinkling of cushions and lanterns, 1 rug and a good book. And relax…

Give it a sophisticated twist
Clashing patterns, paisley prints and tie-dyes are synonymous with boho hippies and festivals, but the look can look incredibly stylish if combined with white walls and quality furniture. Don’t forget to add in plenty of floor cushions and pouffes for that essential laid-back mood.

Throw in a teepee
Everyone loves a teepee, especially the kids. Whether you make one yourself or not, the little ones will be entertained for hours in one of these beauties. Stuff with duvets and pillows to create a cosy den for them to hide in. Why not try it yourself? You might love it just as much as they do!
