We all know the feeling- you’ve enjoyed a brilliant stay at a gorgeous hotel, and as the weekend draws to a close, you can’t shake the voice in your head that’s a little disappointed to be heading back home. This doesn’t have to be the case, however, and we’re going to run you through the best and easiest ways to have your home competing with even the most prestigious five stars.
Luxurious bedding
An easy change to give your bedroom that five-star appeal is to invest in some high-quality bedding. Of course, in any hotel the bed is the main attraction, and to emulate this you want to find bedding that’s comfy as well as aesthetically pleasing. Don’t go over the top on the designs here- to create that sleek hotel look, you want to go simple with the colours. Crisp white sheets are synonymous with high standards, complete this look with some matching fluffy pillows and you’ve got yourself a bed ready to compete with all the highest hotel chains.
Kit out your bathroom
Hotel bathrooms will never leave you empty-handed, and neither should yours! Kitting your bathroom out with all the amenities you’d find during a weekend stay away is a cheap and easy way to make sure your place gives off the same vibes as your favourite hotels. Think hand gel, different types of lotions and shampoos, as well as a strong collection of towels and bathrobes for good measure. Ensure all your surfaces are gleaming and clean and you’ve got yourself a bathroom that people would pay for.
Accessorise
Accessories are an easy way to transform a room without the need for a total rebrand. Scented candles around a room will not only create an intimate and welcoming mood, but also make sure that anyone staying in your home will be doing so with any one of a number of scents to keep their senses happy. Lampshades and drawers are also clever ways to give your home that five-star appeal, darker brown tones are a great way to compliment your crisp white bedding from earlier on. Decorative flowers are also a great idea, and for a bonus trick investing in artificial flowers will mean you don’t have to worry about maintenance- however you’ll want to make sure these are still high quality and give off the same presence as the real thing.
Lights, Camera, action!
Lighting is also a massive factor when giving your home a sleek, professional feel. Avoid harsh, clinical feeling lights and instead opt for a more warm, muted lighting you can usually find from bedside lamps. This, combined with the wooden tones from any furniture can combine to create a sophisticated feel in the evenings, and will give your home a high quality appearance and feel.
