Staycation-Ready: 7 Ways to Prep Your Home for a Relaxing Summer in Carmel, IN

Why book a flight when you’ve got everything you need right here in Carmel, IN? Between The Waterpark at Central Park, Monon Trail rides, and Carmel Farmers Market strolls, staycations are the new summer vacation. Make your home feel like a five-star retreat with these expert cleaning and organizing tips.

1. Start with a Full Declutter

Clutter creates chaos. Store school papers, donate unused items, and clear surfaces. A clean space sets the tone for peace and relaxation.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Use clear bins for seasonal items like swimwear and beach towels—bonus if they stack neatly.

2. Deep Clean Bathrooms Like a Spa

Think hotel bathroom: fresh towels, scrubbed tiles, sparkling glass. Add a scented candle and wipe all surfaces until they gleam.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Roll hand towels and place them in a basket—simple, chic, and functional.

3. Reset the Bedroom

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary. Make the bed daily, open the windows, and vacuum under the bed weekly.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Spritz pillows with lavender spray and keep clutter off nightstands for instant calm.

4. Create a Relaxation Zone

Pick a corner—sunroom, reading nook, or patio—and dedicate it to unplugged relaxation. Clean the area, add soft lighting, and leave your phone in the next room.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: A mini diffuser with eucalyptus or peppermint turns any space into a retreat.

5. Clean Out the Kitchen & Stock Snacks

Declutter counters, wipe appliances, and stock your fridge with local produce from Carmel’s Farmers Market. A clean kitchen = less stress and more enjoyment.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Add a fresh fruit bowl to the counter—pretty and practical.
