Nothing beats the feeling of staying in a luxury hotel room. From crisp, fresh linens to stylish details, the right hotel room can create a sense of instant relaxation and calm. But why wait until you book your next 5-star stay? Why not design your own hotel-style bedroom instead? With the right touches, you can turn your bedroom into your own personal retreat, although sadly without the room service – unless you can bribe someone to bring you breakfast in bed! 

Check out our 10 steps to creating a hotel-inspired bedroom at home for the perfect luxury makeover.

1. Invest in high-quality bedding

2. Choose a calming, neutral colour palette

The most luxurious hotel suites generally choose neutral colour palettes. This keeps the look chic, while also being timeless. You can add some colour through accessories, or even add a feature wall. Avoid bright white shades, as this can mean the space lacks the warmth of an upmarket hotel. Shades of beige and taupe are particularly on-trend at the moment, with black accents and accessories – creating a truly stylish and welcoming space.

3. Combine different materials

If you want to make your bedroom look rich and inviting, then mixing up your materials can help. While cotton sheets are king, you can add velvet or wool bedspreads and cushions, as well as textured rugs to create a layered, elegant look. Adding some additional furniture, like benches or chairs, can also give your room a hotel feel, so look out for styles upholstered in premium fabrics for those ultimate finishing touches. 

4. Upgrade your window treatment

Even if you don’t have a fantastic cityscape or sea view, you can still make your window treatment spectacular. With the help of some made-to-measure curtains, you can accessorise your space with grand designs that will fit your window perfectly. Why not add some remote-controlled curtain tracks for an extra dose of luxury?  

5. Add a statement headboard

A statement headboard is another must-have item for a hotel-style bedroom. Headboards add to the aesthetic and help create a focal point for your space. Many people wonder if they should match their headboard to their curtains, but there are several ways you can make your headboard work for your space. A made-to-measure headboard may be the most suitable choice for your bed, especially if your bed is an unusual size, or you need to break up a large wall.

6. Create some ambient lighting

Hotel rooms are known for their range of lighting options, and creating some ambient light could be exactly what you need to give your bedroom a hotel-style makeover. In addition to your ceiling light, some wall lights or table lights can also be used to create different lighting moods. Some additional switches could be a worthwhile investment, helping you control your lights from your bed – no more squabbling over who needs to turn off the lights! Another option is to purchase a smart lighting system, allowing you to control your lights via a smart speaker like Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit.

 

7. Add a signature scent

Another common hotel feature is the use of a signature scent. Some hotels even let you buy their fragrances! Adding a special fragrance to your bedroom can make it feel a little more personal and is a lovely touch when you walk through the door. You can add fragrance using candles and diffusers, or room sprays to keep your space smelling fresh. A little spritz of a sleep spray can also be a special touch, helping you doze off peacefully at night!

8. Include some artwork

If you want to give your bedroom a hotel-style feel while adding some personal touches, then purchasing some artwork is the way to go. Your chosen style could be photographs, paintings, graphic-based art – whatever you like! Choose some high-quality frames to do your artwork justice – it will make a big difference to the overall look! If you’re feeling creative, you could even make your own artwork as the ultimate personal touch for your space!

9. Make your styling consistent

Staying in a hotel room is a treat. Not only do you get to benefit from a clean, attractive space, but you also get the joy of having it be clutter-free! While it’s unrealistic to think your bedroom at home will be devoid of all clothes, accessories, etc., you can put some effort into keeping your space clutter-free and keeping things consistent. From matching hangers in your wardrobe to coordinated storage solutions, you keep your bedroom neat and organised, helping to add to the hotel feel.

A daily clear-up of clothes and other clutter can make the world of difference, as can a daily vacuum of your floors to keep your space looking fresh. 

10. Put a tray together

Adding some stylish features to your bedroom is easy, and you can start with a decorated tray to add some additional aesthetic appeal. Your trayscape could include some flowers, candles and ornaments, or even some tea and coffee-making bits – ideal for those lazy Sunday mornings! Pop your tray on a dressing table or side table for a detail that is modern and elegant.
