Frequent travelers know that at some point, after countless hotels and apartments, the only thing you want to feel after opening the door to your tonight’s property is “home away from home.”
We had an accidental renovation of our apartment, and were in need to move out urgently with a newborn and a dog. I am excellent at packing, so in a few hours, our car was packed and ready to go. We were moving to VISIONAPARTMENTS ZURICH – the serviced apartment you lately saw on my Instagram.
I am happy to share with you little secrets which help me to feel at “home” in any place I stay. To fall asleep quickly, to have no “I am here just for a day” feeling since…this IS A DAY of your life, the day which would never happen with you again, so make it YOURS.


Signature scents
I always bring my home scents in travel or full-size versions. Fabric Spray is the quickest and easiest way of freshening up textiles, and our brain would immediately give you a relaxing signal. The diffusers are suitable for an extended stay, our two months in VISIONAPARTMENTS.


Soap bar
One of the first things we all do when entering a new living room: is set down bags, check out the view, wash up and unwrap the small bar of hand soap at the bathroom sink. Having the same soap bar at home gives you a feeling of calmness and serenity.
Fresh flowers
If you need to transform the atmosphere and bring life to the room, try this! Place flowers around a space where you can see them; it can make your mood better in a second! Fresh flowers make a great addition to the kitchen and the bathroom! Don’t forget about these rooms and have a few stems here and there. They’re the perfect way to compliment your temporary household designs and make them yours. I have a list of flowers for your home, which is another grounding trick for your new property.
We lived in two types VISIONAPARTMENTS during last months and in both of them the lounge area with a coffee table was my favourite!



Candles
The smell is everything, but with the combination of rituals, it’s even more powerful than in a solo!
Choosing the right scent can be overwhelming, so do your research in advance to find your natural, non-toxic favorites to add warmth and happiness to your current home.
Take a chance to have your Home Away from Home with VISIONAPARTMENTS in Switzerland or around the world.
Wishing you a cozy evening, Lisa Starchak
