Are you looking for unique ways to keep you and your family occupied and comfortable during this uncertain time? Escape your news feed and take a break from the outside world with a peaceful retreat in your own home.
While escaping into the Perthshire countryside at one of our luxury pods is out of the question for the meantime, we believe self-isolation doesn’t need to mean compromising on luxury.
Here at Luxury Hideaways, we’ve been promoting the benefits of self-isolation since our inception in early 2019.
As the country hunkers down in a bid to fight COVID-19, we’re here to lift your spirits and help you stay positive in this strange time. Join us as we explore how you can self-isolate in style.
Why Is Self-isolation Important?
While government advice to stay at home may seem restrictive, we believe self-isolation presents the perfect opportunity to press the reset button, gather your thoughts and recharge your batteries.
Instead of dwelling on the situation, now is the time to follow government advice and make the most of a bad situation. We understand the importance of taking a breather from day-to-day responsibilities and believe everyone should take time to enjoy a moment of calm amidst the chaos of modern life.
Sit back and relax as you treat yourself to some well-deserved home luxuries and enjoy a rare moment of isolation from the outside world.
Whether it’s protecting yourself against wide-spread illnesses or taking time to focus on your mental health, the benefits of self-isolation are endless. Grab your favourite book, shut your laptop and discover new hobbies as you wait for the storm to blow over.
How To Self-isolate In Style
When you’re constantly in and out of the house and juggling day-to-day responsibilities of modern life, finding time to create the perfect home environment can quickly fall by the wayside. Those ‘small’ DIY jobs turn into five-year projects and the flat-pack wardrobe gathering dust in the garage gets pushed to the bottom of your to-do list.
Now is the perfect opportunity to make the most of your beautiful home and spend time making it as comfortable and safe as possible.
Whether you want to spend your days binging on your favourite Netflix shows, creating imaginative dens using bed sheets or baking with the kids, your home needs to be somewhere you feel completely relaxed and at peace with the world.
Interior Design Tips From Luxury Hideaways
Here at Luxury Hideaways, we specialise in creating five-star luxury in tiny spaces. We believe in a set of simple design principles to make the most of small spaces by removing unnecessary clutter and offering guests a blissful retreat with zero distractions.
The home should be your very own sanctuary to find your inner peace.
Our #1 design tip is to embrace simplicity in the home. We love incorporating sleek and highly-functional designs from SimpleHuman into our luxury pods. From automatic bins to high-tech soap pumps, their wide range of “tools for efficient living” are a great way to combine hygiene with style.
Another top tip is to record a journal of how you and your family move around your home. You’ll probably find that you spend the majority of your time in just a few locations around the house.
Once you’ve identified how you use your home, you must answer two important questions:
1. How can you optimise your most commonly used spaces to create a luxury environment?
For example, we don’t compromise on comfort when it comes to bed linen. We spend a third of our lives in bed, so why not treat yourself to something special? Our guests always comment on our gorgeous Egyptian 400 thread count bed linens from the White Company. Check our Google Review here.
2. What can you do with the rooms you don’t use to avoid feeling claustrophobic?
The simplest trick in the book is to add a fresh lick of paint to brighten the home. Our pods are covered head to toe in stunning colours from Farrow & Ball — we love the high-quality finish to achieve a clean and airy feel.
Struggling for inspiration? Our secret weapon to designing amazing spaces and embracing luxury interiors is creating beautiful Pinterest boards to capture our style.

Stay Hygenic at Home
As the current situation unfolds, it’s important to make sure no stone is left unturned when it comes to hygiene. Providing a safe and comfortable environment at home needs to be at the front of everyone’s mind.
Here are a few handy tips and tricks to keep you safe while self-isolating in your luxury pod:
- Leave nasty germs at the door. We recommend installing a hand sanitiser pump at your front door to avoid any germs finding their way into your hideaway.
- Personal hygiene is everything. Remember to wash your hands for 30 seconds with soap and warm water. Try to keep on top of laundry to ensure there are plenty of fresh towels to keep you squeaky clean.
- Avoid human contact. Following government advice, the best way to keep safe and minimise the spread of the virus is to stay home and avoid unnecessary human contact. Please continue to check the latest government updates to keep you and your family safe.
