There's one thing that's great about going on holiday, that's staying in a top hotel. I have stayed in a lot of fantastic hotel, and having a chic and modern room is definitely a highlight.
But what you want this at home?
Here's how to make your bedroom feel like a luxury hotel.
Key Takeaways
- Use crisp white linen on your bed
- Ensure you make your bed perfectly every day
- Use at least 4 pillows: 2 plain white and 2 for decoration
- Keep a folded sheet/throw at the bottom of your bed
- Keep all surfaces free of junk
- Add a piece of artwork to the wall
Fresh Clean White Linen
If there's one thing every hotel has, it's crisp clean white linen. Having a fresh looking bed every morning and night is a key factor of any hotel room.
You can replicate this by ensuring you have high quality high count thread cotton, such as Egyptian cotton sheets. That will not only give a luxe look, but feel good too.
Pillow Talk: 4 pillows, 2 functional and 2 for decoration
I always use 4 pillows on the bed: There's two for sleeping on, these are crisp white and match the bedding. Then there's two on top, these are purely for decoration.
Having stacked pillows gives the bed some dimension and bounce, and makes them really stand out.
Artwork on the wall
If there's one thing that every good hotel room has, it's artwork. Sometimes you might not notice it, sometimes you do.
Putting up some bedroom art prints that are unique and bold will get you closer to your boutique hotel room vibes than you think. I love something which is relatable, bold and modern, art that really sets the place apart.
No Mess Or Junk On Surfaces
When you go to a hotel room what's one thing you notice? It's spotless. It's not only clean, but free of clutter and junk.
Ensure that you have nothing on table tops, counter tops and surfaces. You can carefully place a coffee table book, or some other art which is there for decoration, if it lifts the room up.
Throw Or Folded Sheet At The End Of The Bed
Putting layers in your bedding is easy. I've already talking about the pillows, and putting a folded sheet or a throw at the bottom of the bed does exactly that.
It gives your white linen contrast, which gives it that luxury look and feel.
Layered Lighting Sets The Mood
You should not under estimate lighting, it's incredibly important. I recommend using warm lighting, around 2000-3000k and from multiple sources.
This can be lighting near the bed, such as fixed into the wall or on a night stand, or even use a modern tall free standing lamp for that extra piece of luxury.
Flooring: Light And Airy
When it comes to flooring, most modern hotels will use a hard wood floor or laminate. You can easily recreate this yourself with having laminate flooring fitted.
I love a light grey or white floor, which keeps the bedroom looking bright, modern and spacious.
Curtains
Getting a good night's sleep in a hotel is key, and so having curtains is usually a must. Many hotels use ceiling to floor curtains, and that's something you should do in your bedroom to get the luxury hotel experience.
Plants & Accessories
To give the room a bit of greenery, adding in a plant is a really nice and easy way of doing it. There's only the need for one, carefully placed, and it will breathe some sanctuary life into the space.
When it comes to fittings, brushed aluminium on items like drawers, wardrobes and other furniture will give your bedroom that luxury finishing touch it needs.
Bedroom Colour Scheme - Light & Bright
Keep choosing a colour scheme really simple, and stick white white and neutral colours. You can go for a feature wall and add a contrasting colour, this could be a rich deep colour which will contrast well.
Making your room look and feel like a boutique hotel is similar to making your bedroom look expensive. It's all about creating that clean, cohesive and modern look which is free from clutter and everything is there for a purpose.
Follow these tips and you'll be able to make your bedroom feel like a luxury hotel room.
