cosy luxury bedroom

There’s no denying that we all wish we had lived in a luxury 5 star hotel room every day. The stunning décor, quality bedding and coordinated colour schemes, these are all the things that bring a twinkle to our eyes when we step into a luxury hotel.

Hotel rooms are carefully designed to ensure they are luxurious and comfortable with the aim to entice you to return back again and again. Their magnificent designs and detailed finishing touches are what makes them so special. It’s easy to bring this to your own bedroom and transform your own bedroom into a 5-star luxury room using just a couple of tricks. 

We’ve gone above and beyond and brought you tips and tricks to help you transform your bedroom into a luxury first class sanctuary.

Create a Mood board

Luxury hotel interior designers always have a theme and colour palette before they start designing. 

Yes I hear you saying, “But I don’t have an interior designer”, however, who said you can’t copy what an interior designer does yourself? 

Creating a mood board before you start your transformation is an essential point in creating a luxury experience. Whether it’s using Pinterest or cutting and sticking from magazines or just creating an album on your phone, a mood board will give you an idea of what you love and what goes well with it. Looking at other people’s work will help ignite a spark within you and inspire you to choose the correct colours and themes for your own sanctuary. Not only that, it will make shopping so much easier as you’ll have an idea of what goes well and what doesn’t. It will also ensure that your room looks put together and everything ties in. 

So get cracking, wear your interior designer cape and open up that Pinterest app for some luxury hotel inspo. Use your mood board to find inspiration for colours, feature designs and statement pieces.

Stick to your chosen theme

It is important to be consistent with a theme when creating a welcoming atmosphere in your bedroom. The best 5-star hotels usually have a running theme and colour palette which are used throughout the room to reflect their style and to create a luxury finish. A way that you can achieve this is by using bedding, paint colours and accessories to match the theme that you have chosen, whether it be a floral blush, safari jungle or Indian princess theme - remember to stay coherent! If you are looking to achieve a 1st class experience, avoid mixing themes and mismatched colours as this can ruin the atmosphere of a room and make you feel out of place.

Choose a bed that reflects you

Your bed is and should be the showstopper of your room. It should be a reflection of your uniqueness and a daily invitation for comfort. 5 star hotel rooms will always flaunt the most comfortable and luxurious beds to give you that luxury feeling. Take time to think when choosing your bed. Choose a style, colour and design that reflects you and makes a statement in your room. 

Aside from style, first class rooms pay utmost attention to comfort. Choose a mattress that gives you the feeling of sleeping on a cloud or think about adding a mattress topper for added comfort to your existing mattress. Compliment your mattress with luxury bedding. 5 star hotels will always ensure they have the best quality bedding. We’d recommend a higher thread count bedding to enhance the luxury.

Invite that light

Ever entered a 5 star hotel and wondered why they have a ton of switches and lights and windows? It’s not just by chance, light is an extremely important feature in setting the mood for a room and creating that luxury experience. 

Adjustable lights are the epitome of luxury. Lighting gives you the freedom to set the mood. Switches placed in the correct spots can make life so much easier. Have bed side switches or if you want to go the extra mile, remote controlled light switches allow you to luxuriously control the mood in your room from the comfort of your bed.

Make it versatile and multifunctional

Your bedroom is your sanctuary and should be that one place you can go to and unwind in different ways. Any luxury hotel, will always boast a range of elements that bring entertainment, happiness and productivity within one space. Luxury hotel rooms cater for all types of people and your room should also cater for your every mood. If you have a desk, add a mirror above it to make it into a multi-use vanity station to use when you want to make yourself feel good or vice versa. For entertainment, add a large TV in front of your bed to transform your bedroom into a cinema. For relaxation, add a chaise or an ottoman box so you can rest tired feet or sit on it to have a read of the latest magazine.

Create a feature

The most memorable and striking 5 star hotel rooms are usually the ones with unique features. Bring uniqueness to your room using features including statement walls, accessories, pillows or art pieces.

Luxury hotels usually have 1 or 2 carefully selected features that goes with the theme of their room to ensure that the room stays unique, but the classiness remains. Bring this luxury to your room by selecting 1 or 2 exquisite features to add to your room.

You could have a statement wall or simply a statement rug on the floor or funky pillows on your bed but make sure you make your statement as unique as you but remember not to overdo it, keep it unique and streamlined.
