When you live in an area that’s a destination for many vacationers, it’s easy to vacay in your backyard. But one thing missing from the ultimate staycay is the 5-star hotel room that welcomes you after a busy day of sightseeing. Luckily, we have some tips for making that luxe experience a part of your everyday. Here’s how to achieve a hotel-inspired bedroom:
Style Meets Function
That big comfy bed central to any hotel room is surrounded by features that make the room highly functional. There’s often a small desk for catching up on emails or other light computer work. A low dresser isn’t just for storing clothes, but the dresser top can serve as a mini coffee bar when you need a first-in-the-morning coffee to face the day. A favorite is a chair and lamp that can be a cozy reading nook — maybe two chairs where the two of you can catch up on the day before going to bed. Consider the many ways you can use your private retreat when designing the ultimate luxury bedroom.
Excite the Senses
Your bedroom should not only be comfortable to the touch but also equally appealing visually and aromatically. Most hotel décor is minimalist — just a few well-chosen pieces strategically placed throughout the room. Pick meaningful items that you’ll enjoy waking up to each morning. Bonus points if they are also useful, such as an elegant clock or jewelry stand. Consider using linen spray to give sheets that just-washed scent. Reed diffusers are effective in the bedroom and be sure to pick a scent that is clean and crisp. Small bouquets can do double duty by being attractive to the eyes and nose.
The Right Light
Overhead lights have their purpose, but you won’t find them on when you walk into your luxe hotel room after turn-down service. Invest in table lamps and other indirect lighting options and look for lamps with charging stations as a secondary bonus. If you like to wake up to natural light, hang soft, light-colored fabrics. However, to truly achieve that hotel experience, hang both blackout curtains and lightweight panels that can let natural light stream in only when you want it.
The Bedding
And finally, the most important feature of your hotel-inspired bedroom — the bedding. Think soft and luxurious with silky pillowcases, crisp sheets, and fluffy, voluminous comforters. Two pillows are not nearly enough — consider four, five, or even six. You want to be as comfortable sitting up in bed as you are lying down. Don’t skimp on bed linens — splurge on the best you can afford. If you are a hot sleeper, you can even purchase moisture-wicking cooling sheets that almost feel like silk.
