There are few things in life that are as comfortable as a hotel room. A hotel room is supposed to be as comfortable as possible, and to make you want to remain as long as you can. However, you do not have to spend that much money for the comfort, or abandon your home to live permanently in a hotel. You can recreate this same level of comfort and aesthetic beauty in your bedroom through a few steps; you can make your bedroom look like a hotel.
Your bedroom is where you will spend most of your time. This is more than enough reason to make it as comfortable for you as possible. In doing this, you can easily take a page from the book of hotel rooms to replicate the level of comfort you will attain there.
Below are things you can do to make your bedroom look and feel exactly like a hotel room.
-
Lighting
One of the things you need to consider in order to make your bedroom look like a hotel is the lighting. You have to make sure that your lighting is properly planned, both the artificial lights and natural lights.
The lights from your bulbs should be warm. You may also want to consider a bedside lamp. These warm lights will help you create a warm and cozy feeling in your bedroom. Dimmer controls on all your lights is one option to make them as soft as you want, or as bright as you need when you would prefer lights. Alternatively, you can use sconces or bedside lamps as softer alternatives to your bright ceiling lights. In planning your artificial lighting, focus on two things- what the fixtures look like and what you actually want the lights to look like.
Your curtains should be enough to keep out the sunlight when you desire. The best hotel experiences include being able to sleep in late even as dawn breaks and the sun rises. You should rethink how you treat your window if you desire this same luxury in your bedroom. You can place a blackout layer behind your sheer curtains. This will help to keep the sunlight out when you so desire.

Bed sheets
You want your sheets plush and white. You may vary the colour based on your personal taste, with colours like shades of grey. Most hotels use white sateen sheets - however, you can use whatever material feels most comfortable for you. Even as you spend most of your time in your bedroom, you will spend most of that time in your bed. You should choose the most superior bedsheets you can afford.
You might also want to consider triple sheeting. This involves placing a thin blanket in between two starched sheets. This result is easy to achieve and cost effective and will give your bed the feeling of crispiness and cleanliness.
-
Layer Pillows
Pillows are an important part of your bed- both for the aesthetic quality they provide and the practical use they offer. Hotel beds usually have two to four feather down pillows in standard size so if you really love the feel of hotel pillows then you should consider getting these pillows. However, feather down pillows can be a bit pricey so you can opt for the less pricey option – down alternative pillows (filled with hollow fibre and designed to mimic the fluffiness and loft of feather down).
When you’ve chosen your pillows, place two across your bed and another two in front of those. That’s usually how hotels place their pillows
-
Style Clutter
Another thing to be considered in order to make your bedroom look like a hotel is the stylish use of clutter. While you want your bedroom comfortable and looking like a luxurious hotel, you do not want it devoid of personality. You want your bedroom to actually look like it’s lived in it while keeping it decent. The style clutter is one way to go.
The key in the style clutter is recognizing good clutter and distinguishing it from bad clutter. Good clutter includes things like a bedside table tray with a few personal items, magazines and newspapers, while bad clutter includes dirty clothes on the floor and unmanaged electrical cords. Style your good clutter while taking advantage of hidden spaces to keep your bad clutter.
-
Dress the Bed
The one thing all luxury hotels have in common is a well-made bed. You do not want to rely on the same rumpled duvets you sleep with nightly which are barely pulled up during the day. Also consider replacing your bed for a big comfortable one if it is not already that. Your bed is a huge part of your bedroom. After all, the entire room is named after the bed. Put more effort into making your bed attain the luxurious status.
-
The Colour
Colours involve more than hiding the raw material that used in construction. The colours used in the painting of a room can make it appear smaller or larger, or affect the mood of the room. You should select colours that enhance your space and spell a positive mood.
If you want your bedroom to look like a presidential suite, the best option is neutral tones with darker details. You can create a combination of white or beige with black or a dark, wine colour. For a room which is full of energy, you can use vibrant colours. The use of the right colours in your bedroom is very important. The colour of paint used in your bedroom will set the tone. A neutral colour palette will lead to a calm, serene sense of mind.
To make your bedroom look like a hotel, you should pay attention to the general setting of the bedroom and the other furniture which will be placed inside when selecting the colours. You do not want to create a clash.

The small luxuries
Do not forget the little luxuries. Get a few bathrobes for your personal luxury. Also, get bedside rugs; you will place your bare feet on these every time you step out of your bed, so you might want to consider making them extra fluffy. Flowers and candles are also good to have in your bedroom. These small luxuries will add to the superior aesthetic look of your bedroom and bring out some extra touches of style that will help make your bedroom look like a hotel.
