COUCHELLA AT HOME: ULTIMATE GUIDE


Couchella (Coachella at home) is the perfect way to enjoy music, fashion, and festival vibes right from your living room or bedroom, especially if you’re craving the energy of Coachella. Attending Coachella is not an option. Throw the ultimate Couchella music festival at home, complete with activities, food, clothes, and a curated playlist inspired by Coachella 2025’s lineup.



1. VIBE + SETUP


Turn your home into a mini desert festival:

• Lighting: Fairy lights, LED color lights, lava lamps, or even disco balls.

• Tents/Blankets: Pitch a small indoor teepee or create cozy blanket forts.

• Projector or TV setup: Stream past Coachella performances or visualizers.

• Decor: Palm trees (real or fake), tapestries, boho pillows, dreamcatchers, glow sticks, and festival signs (like “Good Vibes Only”).


2. DRESS CODE: FESTIVAL FASHION AT HOME


Just because you’re home doesn’t mean you can’t dress the part. Here are some festival outfit ideas:


For Women:

• Crochet tops & fringe kimonos

• Denim shorts + rhinestone bralettes
