Homeware brand Wayfair has teamed up with a pair of stylists to transform a drab caravan into fun self-catering accommodation that you can book on Airbnb for a summer staycation.
Perfect for a beach break with a group of friends or family, Dixie Daydream, in Camber Sands, East Sussex, is a three-bedroom static caravan owned by interior stylists, Cassandra Doyle and Diana Civil, aka The Style Producers.
In their exclusive partnership with Wayfair, the pair renovated the simple caravan using the homeware company's unique furniture, with amazing before and after photos showing how it was brought to life.
The duo were able to get creative and poured their personality into the space, embracing joyful maximalist style. Dixie Daydream, which is ideal for a long weekend close to London and just moments from the beach, offers accommodation for up to six adults in two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom.
It's available from £180 per night in low season and £300 per night during peak times.
The renovation project included changes to hardware as well as small furnishings. Cassandra and Diana added a copper sink upgrade and a contemporary built-in fireplace, both from Wayfair.
For anyone who likes to take away some home inspiration from their staycation rental, Dixie Daydream has plenty of unique ideas for DIY decor. Its Instagrammable interior includes simple touches, such as affordable kitchen handles, which can make a huge difference to the overall look.
'Dixie Daydream turns a traditionally lack-lustre caravan design on its head and proves that even the smallest space can be a haven of personal style if you renovate it thoughtfully,' said Wayfair’s Resident Style Advisor, Nadia McCowan Hill.
'Staycations are one post-pandemic trend that’s set to stay and people are increasingly on the hunt for truly memorable but affordable holiday lets.'
The dreamlike space combined with an excellent location close to Rye, one of Britain's best seaside towns, is just the answer for a short break on the coast.
While here, you can discover Rye's picturesque cobbled stone streets, the popular micro pub and plenty of antique shops. When the weather is warm, a day at Camber Beach is a must-do, with its stunning dunes and soft sand you can sink your toes into.
Designers The Style Producers said: 'With not an airline delay or passport queue in sight, we are championing the staycation revival for 2022 – glamorous Dixie Daydream, a glass of something tasty, and good old fish and chips – it's the perfect holiday combination!'
