Making your room feel like a hotel starts with crisp white linens and high thread count sheets that create the luxurious, cloud-like sleeping experience you love.
Ambient lighting with warm tones transforms your bedroom into a relaxing retreat, while decluttering and maintaining symmetry give you that clean, minimalist hotel aesthetic.
Adding a home bar, outdoor pool, or hot tub brings resort-style relaxation to your space, letting you unwind without leaving home for vacation vibes.
Hiring a local interior design professional helps you choose the perfect theme and color palette, bringing boutique hotel style to life in your bedroom.
With every vacation comes the inevitable trip back to reality, and it’s natural to wonder how to make your room feel like a hotel year-round. There’s something charming and tranquil about luxurious hotels, boutique-style rooms, dinner and cocktails on the patio, and all the other splendors of hospitality.
While you can’t be in vacation mode all the time, recreating a resort-style feel in your home is the next best thing. Check out these tips to make your home feel like a luxury hotel.
If there’s one thing you can find in nearly every resort and hotel, it’s crisp white bed sheets and fluffy down pillows that make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. These simple but luxe features help to create a tranquil bedroom that you can’t wait to sleep in. To make your room feel like a hotel, pick out white cotton bed sheets—the higher the thread count, the better. While you’re at it, outfit your primary bath with fresh white towels and a plush white bathrobe (bonus points if it’s monogrammed).
To instantly create a relaxing bedroom, ambient lighting is key. Add dim lights with white, cream, or golden shades to set the mood. Clean, simple designs and solid colors will make your lamps blend in, placing the focus on the warmth and atmosphere. Pair these with brighter lamps or recessed lights when you need a more well-lit space.
If you love relaxing evenings where the hotel bar serving fresh cocktails is steps away, bring the feeling home with a home bar setup. It can be a simple nook with a table, barstools, and mini-fridge, or you can go all-out and add a built-in bar for even more luxury. Stock up on fresh fruit and memorize your favorite cocktails—you might never feel like going out again.
Are afternoons by the pool your idea of a perfect day? It may be time to build that backyard oasis you’ve been daydreaming about since you got home from your last trip. Whether you install an in-ground or above-ground pool, prepare to relax poolside in between answering emails, walking the dogs, and tending to the other tasks on your to-do list. Who needs a vacation, anyway?
Installing a relaxing hot tub is another way to add a spa-like feel to your outdoor space. You can even add a pool and a hot tub for a total resort experience. Better yet: Create a beachy feel and incorporate lush pool landscaping ideas to complete your backyard escape.
If you can’t forget that charming bed-and-breakfast from your last vacation, use it as inspiration for making your room feel like a hotel at home. One option is to choose a theme, such as vintage Victorian, art deco, modernist, or whatever resonates the most with your style.
To keep things simple, choose two to three dominant colors with a bold accent (think black and white with a pop of sunset yellow). Add a bold accent wall and accessorize with unique, eye-catching furniture to complete the look. For additional help with your bedroom design, consider hiring a local interior decorator to bring the look to life.
Keeping your space clean is essential for creating a hotel-like atmosphere in your home. Now is the perfect time to hone in on your home cleaning checklist and find a system that works for you. If you’re struggling to find the time or the willpower to maintain a spotless home, hire a local home cleaning service to help keep your hotel-within-a-home clean and sparkling.
Part of what makes a hotel room feel so relaxing is its bare surfaces, minimalistic style, and distinct lack of clutter. To make your room feel like a hotel, take on the project of decluttering your home and bask in the understated beauty of empty space. As a bonus, less clutter means less cleaning and more time to relax.
An easy way to redesign your room to make it feel like a hotel is to start from the center and build out, adding the same pieces and decorative touches to either side. Start with the centerpiece of the room—your bed—and add matching bedside tables, coordinating artwork, and identical lighting sources to create a flawless sense of symmetry. Since you’re hand-selecting each item, the final room will feel personal and customized while maintaining a minimalist look.
Hotels and boutique rooms often mix bold patterns and textures for a stylish look with tons of visual appeal. Harness this idea and shop for armchairs, area rugs, throw pillows, and other accents with clashing-yet-complementary textures. To make a bold statement, consider adding a wallpaper accent wall and make it the focal point of the room. When picking out design elements for your room, bring photos of current items with you to experiment with different layers until you find your perfect mix.
