If you feel like your bedroom is a bit lackluster, consider making a change that reflects the luxe details of the best hotels. Luxury hotel suites know how to make guests feel welcome and comfortable for the length of their stay. Learn a few of the hospitality industry’s tips and tricks to make your bedroom feel like a luxury hotel suite. After implementing them, you might find yourself calling room service now and again!
Begin With the Bed
The bed is the centerpiece and foundation of any bedroom. It’s all in the name, for one thing! So invest in premium bedding. Fancy hotels buy supportive, plush beds, then make them up with high thread-count linens and blankets that enhance the comfort level. Start by purchasing a mattress base; adjustable mattress bases provide several benefits, including support and improved circulation. Add a top-quality mattress that is as firm or soft as your sleeping needs require. A mattress topper supplies a touch of extra coziness. Pick sheets with a high thread count that employ natural fibers such as cotton for extra softness without the heat-trapping issues that manmade fibers often present. Purchase a mini mountain range of pillows and a puffy duvet for added pampering.
Look for the Nook!
The best hotels know that you aren’t simply sleeping in your room. Sometimes you need a workspace—or even better, a relaxation station where you can curl up with a book, jot down a few thoughts in a journal, or simply sit and dream. Create a corner nook with a cozy chair, a writing space (a movable end table would be great), and a bright but mellow table lamp to shed light on the subject—you! A good nook makes a bedroom more of an oasis and less of an impersonal sleeping chamber.
The Nose Knows
Good hotels know how to make a space smell pleasant without being overwhelmingly cloying. Provide your own dose of aromatherapy to the bedroom with subtly scented candles. Certain room sprays and plug-in air fresheners may smell overly artificial, but you can experiment a little. Some scents, when used sparingly, add a terrific aroma personality to any room, especially your bedroom. Dose the room with the gentle essence of vanilla, floral aromas like lavender, or the bright energy of citrus. A little goes a long way, so don’t inundate the space with an overabundance of smells.
Keep It Clean
The best hotel rooms offer plenty of amenities without cluttering the space with a superabundance of stuff. Emulate that semi-spartan aesthetic with your bedroom. Declutter and keep it spare but lovely. Use closets and organizers to store things that might just take up visual and actual space out in the open. Organize smaller belongings with eye-catching trays and jewelry boxes. A clear surface means a clearer mind!
Those are just a few ways to make your bedroom feel like a luxury hotel suite. Make your home bedroom the opulent getaway you deserve!
