Ever wondered why you get better sleep in a luxury hotel room? What if we told you that it is possible to enjoy the same relaxing sleep every night in the comforts of your own house?
The way a luxurious hotel room is designed has a significant effect on the quality of the occupants’ sleep. Believe it or not, fresh and crisp sheets, clutter-free décor, and a well-designed bedroom layout will ensure good quality rest every night.
Here are six tips you can follow to make any bedroom in your house feel like a room from a five-star hotel:
1. Freshen Up the Bed Linens
Textiles play a big role in stirring up that comfy feeling you get when staying at a five-star hotel room. If you cannot accomplish a complete overhaul of all the fabrics used inside the bedroom in one go, you can start small by refreshing the bed linens first.
In your mini bedroom makeover, you can start by buying high-quality fabric. Experts recommend crisp cotton percale. Rather than focusing on the thread count, make it a point to touch and feel the fabric.
After washing, iron the sheets and freshen up with home-made linen spray in your chosen scent to help achieve that luxurious sleep you’ve been dreaming about. To make your own linen spray, simply mix 20 drops of essential oil, a few capfuls of vodka, and a pint of distilled water in a spray bottle. Shake to mix well.
2. Triple Sheet the Bed
There’s no better way to achieve the same level of relaxation quality you get from a hotel room bed than by learning hotelier secrets like triple sheeting. This fancy trick entails layering a thin comforter or blanket between two starched sheets to get a cost-effective, hotel-like bed. This removes the need for a duvet cover while reducing your laundry expenses for the comforter or blanket.
To do this at home, start by choosing top-quality sheets and tuck them tightly. Then add a soft blanket or a plush pillow to get that snug five-star hotel feel.
3. Use Custom-Made Draperies and Curtains
Homeowners often overlook draperies, curtains, and blinds until the last minute. Often, people just pick plain wooden blinds or buy ready-made curtains for the sheer purpose of preserving one’s privacy. However, this shouldn’t be the case.
Curtains, draperies, and blinds are more than just window covers to maintain privacy in a room – they are also crucial in achieving a five-star hotel bedroom atmosphere. To get that luxury hotel room feel, try getting at least one set of custom-made curtains and draperies.
Aside from fitting the windows just right, custom-made curtains also provide a certain level of elegance to the room.
When having someone sew curtains for you, it is always better that you buy the fabric yourself and have the seamstress work with it. This will help save on overhead costs that often come with seamstresses using their own fabrics for the project.
Also, make sure that you pick fabrics that suit your tastes and match the existing décor in the room. For that luxury aesthetic, be sure to choose silk, linen, or damask. Also, remember to add a layer of black-out curtains to the bedroom to encourage quality sleep and achieve that hotel-like vibe in the bedroom.
4. Invest in Lights
No five-star hotel room is dark or dreary. Notice how all of their rooms are filled with side lamps, chandeliers, art lights, wall sconces, and mood lighting anywhere you look? Those lights are crucial for the optimum rest and relaxation they aim to provide their clientele.
To bring this five-star quality to a residential bedroom, start by looking at the overhead lights. Change outdated fixtures and consider adding sculptural lighting that will match the existing décor.
Also, professionals recommend having a dimmer installed to transform ordinary overhead lights into mood lighting.
5. Pick a Calming Color Palette
If you’re willing to do more than just a small upgrade of the bedroom you’re redesigning, you should consider redoing the walls. While paint may be the typical first choice, you must also absolutely consider using wallpapers to achieve a calming color palette at a lower cost.
To do so, choose neutral wallpapers with colors that create a calming color palette, like a combination of beiges, pale blues, and creamy white. Try to avoid stark hues of vibrant reds and greens in your walls, draperies, and linens. Remember that neutral colors help calm the mind, making these a great choice for bedrooms.
6. Add Luxurious Details
Achieving the ambience of a five-star hotel room isn’t just about changing the bedding and décor. It also lies in how you present smaller details that make a bedroom feel cozy and relaxing.
Add small touches that you frequently see in hotel rooms, like nice hangers or a water carafe on the bedside table. You can also invest in a sound machine or a tidy pile of magazines. Have wall-to-wall carpeting installed so that walking around the room becomes a totally pleasurable experience. (Here’s an extra tip: There are pile rugs that are well-suited for floors with radiant heating and are sure to feel like heaven to your feet.)
Bring Luxury Home
Infusing your personal space with a deliciously comfortable feel may seem challenging, but it is not impossible. With the right understanding of the concept and some insider secrets, you should be able to make any bedroom in your own home feel like a luxury five-star hotel room.
