Ever wonder how you can turn your bedroom into a luxurious haven of rest? What is it about those pristine five-star hotel rooms that make you want to extend your stay? Look no further.
From arranging the perfect sleeping conditions to creating a clutter-free space, you can start basking in tranquility right in the comfort of your own home. These tricks are never going out of style.
Make Your Bed
On average most humans spend one-third of their lives in bed and since that’s the case, you might as well enjoy it. Most five-star hotel rooms flaunt the most expensive and comfortable beds anywhere and you can make it happen too.
If you’ve got the funds, go for it and invest in a mattress that is fitted to your needs. Sometimes investing more is worth it in the long-run as most mattresses should be changed about every 10 years. Hotel bedroom mattresses are firm but soft and mold to your body. If you’re looking for that same effect but for less dents in your bank account, you can buy a pillow-top mattress pad. It’s cost-effective and you get to feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud every night.
Aside from great mattresses, buy linens that have a higher thread count to maximize the feeling of luxury. Five-star hotel rooms typically boast 300-count sheets made of Egyptian cotton. That softness can be easily replicated with “jersey” style sheets if you aren’t ready to shell out more money for a higher-thread count. Or, you can invest in a couple silk pillow cases to add a dash of richness to your bedtime regimen.
Add Comforting Accents
As useless as throw pillows can seem, they truly help to spice up a drab space. Throw pillows don’t just belong on the bed. You can place accent pillows on chairs too; layer them up, and add a modern throw blanket into the mix. These comfortable accents can add dimension and a pop of color. Choose pillows and blankets that are made of appealing materials so you can get comfy, but also stay in style.
If you really want your five-star hotel to feel like a rich man’s paradise, add some candles around the room. You can place a candle on a dresser or bedside nightstand. Make sure you choose colors that aren’t too “out-there”, and keep the scents light and floral. You don’t want to overpower your bedroom with cheap candles and nauseating scents, so take it easy when it comes to visual and other sensory accents.
Choose Tranquil Colors
Nothing is worse than walking into a cheap motel room with stark wall colors and intimidating dark hues littering the room. Choose tranquil colors that will brighten your bedroom. Neutral shades like white, light-gray, ocean blue, and creamy ivories, tend to add a refreshing feeling. The lighter the tones, the more you will create the sense that your room is elegant and welcoming.
The walls aren’t the only thing you want to consider when decorating your rich room. Choose linens for the bed that are also lighter in color. Most five-star hotel bedrooms have white sheets on their beds. Using white linens and comforters will boost the crisp and clean element that your bedroom should have.
Sophisticated Décor
Sure, it may be heart-warming to look at your old photographs in rainbow-glitter picture frames, but it won’t help when you’re trying to create a five-star space. If you want to exhibit extravagance and class, it’s time to add an element of sophistication to your décor. You can keep the pictures but use décor and room accents that have clean lines, and toned-down colors.
Find lampstands and lampshades that have a modern appeal. This will give your room that contemporary look that five-star bedrooms are modeled after. If you’re going to hang wall-art, limit it to one or two pieces.
Feel like you’re missing the “glam” factor? Add accents of gold or silver around the room to exude opulence and refinement. When adding these shiny touches, just be careful to avoid mixing and matching too many precious metals so your room doesn’t end up looking tacky. Think of adding these glittering accents similar to adding a piece of jewelry to complete your look. The right touch of gold, silver, or sparkle can enhance just about anything.
Create Space
If there’s anything that can quickly ruin the five-star feel, it’s clutter. Clean up any messy areas, or overcrowded spaces. This will not only create the illusion of a bigger room, it will actually free-up more room. Take a look at problem areas like corners and nooks where it’s easy to pile up clothes, books, and other extra furniture. Clear out all the junk and unneeded furnishings, and you’ll create space for more light to reflect around the room.
Having the right lighting is crucial to making your room seem larger. Replace dark and drab curtains with light shades, or remove any trappings around the window altogether and make it a focal point. Let the windows in your bedroom do the job they were made for. Allowing more light into the room with this quick trick will make a huge difference. It’ll create a roomier feel that highlights a sense of freedom of mobility and peace.
When considering all of these tricks to transform your bedroom into a five-star hotel stay, keep in mind that you don’t need trade-in your personal style. Mix and match the things you love with the five-star details to create the perfect look and feel. Once you’re satisfied with what you’ve accomplished, give yourself a pat on the back and relax in your upgraded five-star hotel room.
