Interior designs often take inspiration from beautiful hotel suites around the world but you’d want to take inspiration from these real-life private sanctuaries that look like they belong in five-star lodgings
FACE FORWARD
Something that hotel rooms accommodate so well is a vanity area. Homeowners who occupy compact bedrooms can take a leaf from guestrooms by building a bespoke vanity area into a corner of their private quarters. Keep the foundation simple and accessorise it with statement pieces like a gold chair or mirror to make the incorporation of this feature achievable.
IN THE DETAILS
Walk into any hotel room and you’ll probably notice how furnishings and accessories are well placed within the small confines. Keeping the bedroom neat and uncluttered is the key to making it feel luxurious. A nightstand with ample storage room will keep all your necessities within reach but never crowd the table top, leaving room to display accents like flowers for a mood-lifting effect.
SOFT LANDING
If there is one thing that makes hotel rooms so comfortable is the bedding. A good quality mattress and a pile of downy pillows will contribute to a sense of wellbeing. Make your sleeping area cosy and oh-so-satisfying by investing in the good stuff.
