A Memorial Day Guide: Honoring, Gathering, and Creating Comfort at Home
Memorial Day weekend is almost here. While it's often seen as the unofficial start of summer—with sunshine, grilling, and get-togethers—it’s also a time to pause and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for our country. At HULALA HOME, we believe that the most meaningful celebrations start at home, with the people and spaces that matter most.
What is Memorial Day?
Memorial Day began as “Decoration Day” after the Civil War, when Americans honored fallen soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers. Today, it’s a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May—a day to reflect on sacrifice, remember courage, and spend meaningful time with family.
4 Heartwarming Ways to Celebrate Memorial Day at Home
1. Memorial Weekend Get-Together: Hosting with Heart at Home
If the weather says no to outdoor fun, bring the celebration indoors. Hosting a small Memorial Day get-together at home can be just as meaningful. Set up a cozy and stylish living space using the Elena Velvet Swivel Barrel Accent Chairs, perfect for creating conversation zones that make guests feel welcome. Add a charcuterie board, some iced drinks, and light background music—it’s all about comfort, connection, and honoring the day together.
2. Movie Marathon: Comfort, Rewind, Repeat
Not every Memorial Day has to be busy or packed with plans. For many, it’s a time for quiet reflection, and what better way to unwind than with a meaningful movie night? Choose films that honor history or simply bring your family closer—think comfort classics or even a documentary on American stories. Curl up in the Ashira Sectional Recliner Couch, which provides generous space to stretch out or snuggle in with a blanket. Add some popcorn, dim the lights, and let your living room transform into a peaceful, shared space. On a day of remembrance, these slow, intentional moments help us feel connected to the deeper meaning of the holiday.
3. Cooking Together: Kitchens That Invite Connection
The kitchen is often the warmest corner of a home—and not just because of the stove. Preparing a Memorial Day meal together, whether it’s a hearty brunch or a favorite family recipe, is a quiet act of love and togetherness. With everyone gathered around the counter, swapping stories and sharing laughs, moments are created that linger long after the dishes are done. Our Aruna Velvet Chair provide a comfortable perch for those casual kitchen chats or for little ones helping with prep. Their supportive design and timeless look make them as much a part of the gathering as the food itself. It’s not about the menu—it’s about the memories made over the chopping board.
4. A Quiet Tribute: Strolls, Museums, and Memory Sharing
Memorial Day can also be a time for learning, especially for younger family members. Consider creating a moment of reflection by visiting a local museum, watching a short documentary, or simply sharing stories about service and sacrifice around the coffee table. Set up a calm space in your home with pieces that invite conversation, like the Shepherd Wingback Accent Chair, a timeless seat that brings elegance and focus to the room. With a few books, a photo album, or even a journal on the side table, you can create a space that encourages both personal reflection and shared conversation—a small, quiet tribute to those who served.
