Why wait for your next hotel getaway when you can turn your bedroom into a luxurious retreat right at home?
It’s time to say goodbye to compromising on comfort and hello to the 5-star treatment!
At My Bespoke Room, we've transformed hundreds of bedrooms into dreamy sanctuaries for our clients, and now our designers are ready to share all their secrets on how to create your very own boutique haven.
Dreamy neutral colour palettes
Soothing as a gentle breeze, a neutral colour palette is like a warm hug for your bedroom, mirroring the serene vibe of your favourite hotel.
Notice how most hotels opt for this calming vibe rather than bold or vibrant hues? That's because this minimalist palette creates a calm atmosphere without overwhelming the senses.
To add a touch of intrigue to your space, consider hues inspired by nature's own palette - think khaki or soft rose tones.
These shades maintain neutral elegance while infusing a cosy warmth. Just be sure they carry that same warm undertone to enhance the overall comfort of your bedroom retreat.
Create a statement
Who says going neutral means you can't have a bit of flair elsewhere?
For instance, a statement headboard creates a focal point in the room, making you simply want to sink into bed. Think of a bold coloured headboard upholstered in luxurious fabric or featuring an intricate design.
Or how about a large scale piece of artwork that features intriguing colours or patterns to draw the eyes into the space.
A sleek chandelier is also quite the eye-catcher, making the lighting a little more fun and adding a touch of sophistication.
With one standout piece stealing the spotlight, keep the rest of your décor minimalist, opting for a few carefully chosen scatter pillows or elegant accessories to complement the look.
Luxurious Linens
One thing we all think about when picturing a hotel room is definitely those crisp and fresh white linens.
Bright, white bedding is super versatile in terms of style and you can jazz them up with cushions, bedspreads and throws.
Treat yourself to a high quality cotton or linen material and make sure to look out for the thread count too! Our advice is to look out for a thread count of around 300-800 to ensure a good night's sleep.
Layer your textures
We’re all about creating a warm and welcoming vibe here, and nothing does that quite as well as plush, layered fabrics.
Don’t be afraid to mix up textures as this is what creates that effortlessly cosy vibe.
Picture your duvet dressed in cosy waffle-textured bedding, topped with a soft throw, and adorned with an array of pillows in velvet, canvas or silk.
Especially in bigger bedrooms, you may want to consider a rug underneath the bed which zones the space and adds an extra layer of comfort.
And let's not forget about those windows! Elevate your window treatments by layering textures with a combination of sheer and blackout curtains.
Sumptuous lighting
Have you ever stopped to count just how many lights are in a hotel room?
Sure, there's the overhead light and the trusty bedside lamps, but let's not forget about the accent lamp on the desk, the TV backlight, the reading light, and even the wall sconces sprinkled throughout.
It's like a lighting extravaganza, and there's a reason for it!
This is not only functional but something we designers like to call the 'layered lighting' look. Instead of relying on one glaring overhead light, all these different sources of illumination work together to create a soft and relaxing ambiance that's just perfect for your bedroom.
Craft a cosy corner
What's a hotel-inspired room without a staple chair or two?
Though this may not be achievable for those short on space, it’s a luxury which is worth having.
Perfect for empty corners by the window, a small seating area could become your new favourite place to sit back with a book or watch the world go by.
Top it off with a stylish rug to define the space, a chic side table for your essentials, and a statement lamp to set the mood, and voila! You've just crafted your own little oasis of calm.
An elegant dressing space
There’s something about getting ready in a hotel room that starts your day off right.
And let's be real, it's probably because you're not stuck applying makeup while precariously balanced in front of a tiny bathroom mirror.
So let’s bring that boutique hotel vibe straight to your doorstep. Step one: snag yourself a dressing table. Pro tip: the more storage, the merrier.
Next up, position that beauty right in front of some natural light or opt for a snazzy mirror with built-in lighting.
Try laying out your dresser and wardrobes in a way that creates a smooth flow - no more running laps around the room whilst getting ready!
