If you want to make bedtime – and yourself – feel special every night, these luxury bedroom ideas will provide the perfect inspiration for you to create a beautiful hotel-style sleep space in your own home.

And why not? We spend around a third of our lives in bed, so it makes sense that we should make sure that we’re giving ourselves the best experience, and highest quality rest we can. 

And you can do this by creating a luxury bedroom that caters to all your needs, from inviting materials to comforting colors. Nearly every element is involved in creating bedroom ideas that will turn your space into something from a top tier hotel. 

Luxury bedroom ideas

If you are looking for main bedroom ideas, or even guest bedroom ideas, with a focus on luxury, making these changes will not only make you feel like you’re on vacation (yes, even on a Sunday evening with a tough week looming), but you’ll find it easier to unwind and drift off into the deep sleep your body requires to truly rest and recover.  

If you've ever wondered 'how can I make my bedroom look stylish?' then this is the advice for you. Below, with the help of interior designers and hoteliers, we bring you the best luxury bedroom ideas.

1. Make the bed the focus

This fabulous luxury bedroom is in the Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is a fine example of how expert bedroom styling can make a space feel special, particularly if the focus are on your bed ideas.

‘The upholstery focuses on contemporary takes on traditional pieces, both in the shapes of the furniture and on the patterns and colors in the fabric,' says Charlie North, the designer behind the Gleneagles’ interiors, and Vice President of Interior Design at Ennismore. 'We love the canopy which helps give a sense of grandeur to the bed, but without needing a four-poster frame in the room. Again, we’ve used contemporary fabrics so the canopy doesn’t feel dated or twee. It reads like a confident statement. '

2. Put architecture into a square space

'If your bedroom doesn't have stand-out architecture, you may find it hard to add a luxurious feel with just a few light touches. However, you can add faux architectural elements to your space to make it feel more unique and layered,' says Lucy Searle, Editor in Chief, Homes & Gardens.

'Here, one of our favorite international designers, Charu Gandhi at Elicyon , has created architectural detailing with a dropped ceiling and wall panel-cum-mammoth headboard. The headboard in particular is very achievable and translatable, and shows how to design a bedroom with a feeling of grandeur.' 

3. Screen off a workspace

It's likely in today's world that you may have to work from home, and the only space available might be your bedroom. If this is the case, you might be looking at bedroom layouts ideas with a desk as part of the floorplan.

This, of course, isn't necessarily conducive to a luxury bedroom, especially as it's hard to divide off a work space from a sleep space if square footage is a problem. However, perhaps you can do so with drapery? Here, a double-sided curtain glides neatly back and forwards at night to ensure the room feels like a sleep-only space; you can use clever joinery with trim to hide the curtain track in the ceiling.

4. Match the ceiling to the floor

Jay Jeffers is a California-based designer who created the interiors for The Madrona, a boutique hotel in the Sonoma County wine country. 

'Cozy, clean, chic. These are the three words that came to mind when I was thinking of how I wanted a guest room at The Madrona to feel. The cool tones combined with the chunky knit throws and stools completely sets the perfect tone to a relaxing weekend.'

Note how ceiling ideas in this space include a textured wallpaper that matches the tones in the flooring below, cleverly creating a cocooning feel in a space that is decorated in cool colors.

5. Go overboard with fabrics and layering

A simple way to create a luxury bedroom is to invest in plenty of ways to use different but complementing fabrics and patterns within the space. Here, Henriette von Stockhausen of VSP Interiors gives a masterclass in country bedroom decorating.

'I personally like to compound the feeling of coziness and comfort by using darker colors on the inside of the beds as it helps create that womb like experience and a feeling of security that one craves after a long day at work,' says Henriette.

'One tip to keep the budget down is to choose a cheaper fabric for the inside as it needs a lot of meterage and choose the more expensive fabric on the outside where less is needed, especially if the bed only has back and side curtains at the head end.

6. Furnish a luxury bedroom with antique finds

Decorating with antiques is a fail-safe way to create a luxury bedroom. This space is one of the many bedrooms in one of the many Pig Hotels , and it shows how rustic bedroom ideas can feel luxurious. 

Owner and founder Judy Hutson, who along with her husband hotelier Robin, put individual room at the heart of their bedrooms, shares that including older pieces in a room is vital to it feeling luxury. 

'It helps give it an enveloped look and is so intrinsic to our ethos. We buy our antiques and vintage pieces from lots of sources in the UK and abroad.'

Whether you incorporate a cherished family heirloom, or bring in a classic copper bath, great for master bedroom ideas with bath, these finishing touches can add inviting character and personality to the space.

7. Bring a bathtub into a bedroom

Combining luxury bedroom ideas with luxury bathroom ideas makes sense if you want the boutique feel but don't have the space for an ensuite. 

Here, in Louisiana's chic hotel The Chloe , bath ideas are comfortably combined into the bedroom. Designed by Sara Ruffin Costello , the rooms follow the hotel's  dusty sapphire and blushing rosé color scheme – and its accentuated Victorian original features for an indisputable nod to luxury. This unconventional bedroom furnishing may have its practical assets, but it is also an exquisite focal point that will steal the limelight and add hints of regency into any space. 

8. Go for a pared-back feel that's still luxurious

Luxury bedrooms needn't be opulent or overtly what might traditionally be called 'feminine'. In fact it's easy to create a luxurious feel for women who prefer a pared-back look or anyone looking for bedroom ideas for men. 

Interior designer Kelly Wearstler shows how in this boutique space she designed at The Proper . Kelly's creative vision for the rooms seamlessly blends past and present with compelling design, vintage influence, local art and, of course, attention to detail, seen in her selection and combination of fabrics for bedding and upholstery.

9. Step back into nature

Painting both walls and ceiling in the same color can create a cocooning feel, particularly in cozy small bedrooms. Soft greens were used in this garden-inspired room, and adding leafy patterns and florals works well as they’re all based on the same color palette. 

The Colefax and Fowler bedroom curtain ideas tie in nicely with the headboard, covered in Rapture & Wright ’s Walled Garden fabric. It shows how accessories can help bring the design to life – including the Wisteria lamps with Empire shades in Cloud Chevrons by Pooky . 

10. Center a scheme around one color palette

Picking bedroom color ideas in one core shade and using different tones of it is a way to be bold without incidentally clashing. Wendi Wolf Lewitt designed this cocooning pink bedroom as such, with built-in open shelving, too, so personal belongings can be displayed.

11. Play with panelling

Wall paneling ideas are a popular way to add character to your walls in luxury bedrooms, and there are plenty of techniques to try. Consider cladding half or three-quarters of the height of your walls and painting the wood in a contrasting color. 

Test out the shades in your room before committing, to see what they look like in different lights. The woodwork here is finished in Paint & Paper Library ’s Blue Gum, which looks much brighter as light floods the space, complementing the headboard and drapes. 

The tongue and groove design not only adds an interesting visual element but is practical, too. It allows the wiring of the light and touchscreen below to be hidden and has created a shelf for pictures above – perfect if you are looking for hard-working yet luxurious bedroom ideas.

12. Give antique furniture a refresh

A bold paint job is often all it takes to give antique furniture a new lease of life, which interior designer Elizabeth Hay has done with these two locally found beds.  

The deep red makes a bold statement, so paler tones were applied to the walls for balance. This mix of bright colors and eclectic patterns is perfect inspiration when considering bohemian bedroom ideas. 

13. Focus on the details

Hotel-inspired luxury bedroom ideas are all in the details. 

‘Fabrics are a really effortless way to add a decorative element to a bedroom,’ says Hayley McAfee, design director of Villa Nova . ‘Upholstered pieces, such as a headboard or chair, can act as a starting point for the rest of the room. 

Consider different bedroom layout ideas, too. Could you reposition your bed to comfortably cater for an armchair or two? Doing so can heighten the feeling of luxury.

14. Pick your palette

(Image credit: Future / Chris Everard)

‘The bedroom is somewhere you want to relax, unwind and switch off from the everyday. Tranquil blue tones and calming neutrals not only look luxurious, but are known for their relaxing and regenerative powers,’ explains Zoffany designer Peter Gomez – like in this soothing all-blue bedroom.

‘Using muted, pared-back hues will create a sophisticated and soothing space. If you want something a bit warmer, a shade like pewter will help to create a cozy, cocooning environment where you can wrap yourself up and escape from it all.’ 

15. Enhance a focal point

(Image credit: Future)

While we may envy the cool bedroom ideas of five-star hotels, we must remember that bedrooms are deeply personal spaces and should be decorated accordingly. 

‘If you are tempted to have a bedroom accent wall or wallpaper, then it is best to use the wall behind the bed to ground the room,’ says Joe Studholme, Farrow & Ball ’s color curator. ‘But if you are feeling daring you might consider extending your bedroom wallpaper ideas to the ceiling – you will spend a lot of time admiring it from the bed!’ 

Putting bedroom mirror ideas on the headboard wall is another way to create a luxury appeal, and reflect light to enhance the space, too.

16. Invest in stylish storage

(Image credit: Future / Emma Lewis)

Are you looking for luxury bedroom ideas that will recreate the high-end aesthetic of a hotel room? Then bespoke storage is the most stylish option for you.  

‘Bespoke fitted furniture allows you to create a tailored storage solution that not only maximizes use of the space, but is also designed to suit what you want to put away and what you want to display,’ says Roselind Wilson, owner and director of Roselind Wilson Design .

Fitted furniture created bespoke is a useful option if you're struggling for small bedroom storage ideas, too.

‘It’s also the perfect opportunity to create a statement design that is as individual as you are. You can specify materials and colors to match your room scheme or existing items of furniture, and a style that suits your taste and type of property.’ 

17. Play with pattern 

(Image credit: Future / Catherine Gratwicke)

‘Mixing patterns is one of the most enjoyable parts of a design scheme,‘ says textile designer Bethie Tricks . ‘I tend to use the rule of three as a starting point – pulling together patterns that share a similar color or design element to ensure they echo each other subtly while adding variety and a sense of continuity.  

'Using the biggest pattern on the floor in the form of a rug helps to anchor a space. Apply another on one of the main pieces of furniture, such as a headboard or armchair, and finish with either patterned wall decor for your bedroom or drapes. 

'You can pick out colors from these patterns to finish the scheme when choosing your bedding and other decorative accessories.’ 

18. Opt for pure artistry with a mural

Choose the right design for your space and follow the latest bedroom trends to take a feature wall to the next level with wall mural ideas. From hand-blocked panels to digitally printed vistas, murals of picturesque landscapes are an expressive way to bring epic scale and romance to a scheme 

In luxury bedroom ideas you want to use calm colors that evoke the pace and tranquility of far away shores.

19. Incorporate decorative panelling

Panelling is a simple way to bring architectural shape to featureless rooms, while protecting walls from the general wear and tear of family life. Intricate fretwork, simple rustic boards and traditional panels all offer their own distinctive style – and add a luxurious finish to any space.

Available in a wide range of mouldings, from subtle tongue and groove to grand period designs, or more modern design statements like the feature wall above, there’s a panelling style to suit every bedroom.

20. Size it up

The headboard you choose will set the tone in luxury bedroom ideas, and opting for an oversized statement style can help anchor the space. 

For your own scheme, consider creating a headboard with your favorite fabric for a finish that feels personal. Go for wall-mounted headboard ideas that also sit on the floor for support, and finish with stud work or a contrasting pipework for luxurious hotel-style look.

21. Swap out your sheets

(Image credit: Future)

We’ve all been in a luxury hotel and come away dreaming about how soft and luxurious the sheets on the bed felt. However, as Lucy Ackroyd, head of design at Christy notes, ‘it’s incredibly easy to replicate this feeling in your own home simply by ensuring you have the best bedding for the job.’

Take inspiration from the exquisite bedding in this inviting gray bedroom idea. ‘Crisp, clean sheets give an instant feeling of luxury,’ says Lucy. ‘Opt for pure cotton, high thread count linen which will help regulate temperature and moisture levels. Plus, they will feel much smoother against the skin than synthetic offerings.’

22. Dress for success

The simple act of styling a bed properly will make your bedroom feel extra special and luxurious, or set the perfect tone for impressive luxury bedroom ideas. 

In theory, there are myriad ways to dress your bed, but if you’re looking for that chic, luxury hotel room look, there are a few tips to take into account that will elevate your bed both in terms of style and comfort.

‘On a double bed, go for two pillows on each side and invest in a couple of pillow shams to match your bedding,’ says Lucy. ‘Place the pillow shams on top of your usual pillows to hide them behind a more elegantly coordinated facade.’

‘Next comes the cushions,’ explains Lucy. ‘Go for somewhere between three and six cushions depending on the width of your bed, and group them together by size, with the largest at the back. For the finishing touch, a statement throw (or two!) is essential for a luxe, beautifully dressed bed.’

23. Consider your materials

No matter how pretty you’ve made your luxury bedroom ideas look by styling the bed to the nines, remember that what’s on the inside counts, too.

Lucy suggests: ‘Opt for good quality, filled inner bedding that will stand the test of time and maintain that plush feeling after every wash. Plus, make sure to fluff up pillows and duvets every time you dress your bed for that full, cozy, "can’t wait to dive in” feeling.’ 

24. Add serenity with scent

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton)

Smell is one of our most powerful senses, and can completely change your mood, as well as transport you somewhere else. It’s no surprise, then, that the right scents can put your body into relaxation and sleep mode – making scent layering a must for luxury bedroom ideas that exude calm and tranquility.

‘Lavender has long been known as a popular sleep aid, and for good reason, as research highlights the calming effect is has on the nervous system,’ says Lucy. ‘To really engage the senses, layer your scents throughout the room – a diffuser will ensure your choice of aroma hits you every time you enter the room, while candles will provide additional ambience whilst also giving a glorious hit of fragrance.’ 

Do remember, however, to always keep candles at a safe distance from your sheets and extinguish well before you think you’ll nod off.

25. Create calm with color

The color palette you choose for your bedroom can have a surprisingly big impact on your sleep. When selecting your color scheme, consider the feeling and mood you want in the room and see which colors evoke these in you.

‘White bedrooms are known for feeling bright and airy, and can help provide a sense of cleanliness – particularly useful if you have been working from home and are feeling trapped within the four walls,’ advises Lucy.

Blue and green bedrooms are both calming, as these colors evoke the feeling of being outdoors. However, make sure to avoid colors like red or orange, which are stimulating and could diminish the all important wind-down before sleep.’

How can I make my bedroom luxurious? 

If you are after simple ways to add a touch of luxury to your bedroom, look no further than decorative elements.

Decoration is all about accessories. A quick way to incorporate more detail into your scheme is with cushions, throws and lampshades. You can switch these out easily, season to season, or as your mood changes.

How can I make my room look expensive?

An easy way to create expensive looking luxury bedroom ideas is with a decorative mural or wallpaper. ‘Beyond just decoration, the transportive effects of a scenic wallpaper within a bedroom creates expansive surroundings at an intimate scale,’ says Claud Cecil Gurney, founder of de Gournay .

Another way to add grandeur is to introduce art to your space. ‘Bedrooms are our private inner sanctuaries and, given that artwork is such a personal choice, it can be used to elevate schemes and provide a sense of identity,’ says Roslyn Keet, associate director of David Collins Studio .

15 Budget Friendly Tips To Create Your Own Luxury Hotel-Inspired Bedroom

Unless you’ve been on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous you probably don’t have bedroom furniture that feels anything like a five-star hotel room. If you’ve ever stayed in an upscale hotel you understand how pleasurable it can be.

From the sumptuous bedding to the elegant furnishings and accessories, to the soothing palette, every aspect is designed to elevate your sense of comfort and relaxation! It can be depressing to leave and return to your less than extraordinary bedroom at home.

Don’t let hotel room envy get you down.

Use those fond memories as inspiration for making your own five star worthy, budget friendly hotel-inspired bedroom at home.

Follow these tips and create your own lavish retreat, without breaking the bank.

1. Pick a theme and define your vision

Are you most comfortable in a modern space, or something more traditional? Find furnishings and select accessories that work together to create the type of space you find most enjoyable. By defining a theme and sticking with it, you can create a soothing space that is perfectly styled to your liking. Integrating furnishings and objects with lots of different styles can make a space feel complicated, overwrought and chaotic, the opposite of what we want in our bedrooms.

Find a theme by going through magazines, design books, or do a google search (interior design themes or hotel bedrooms design themes). You will find a variety of themes to pick from.

From modern to zen, to fancy, or boutique, a theme is a great launching point for starting your bedroom redesign.

Take pictures or screenshots of pictures that appeal of to you. Gather a group of images for inspiration and refer to them when selecting your furnishings and accessories.

2. Choose a color scheme to create the feel you want

Your choice of color will make a huge impact on the look and feel of your bedroom. You can make a statement with a bold hue, or go with a something neutral.

Limit the number of colors you use, two or three is best (including the ceiling color). One way to create some drama with color, without going over the top, is to paint one wall an accent color. For an accent color select a color that coordinates well with the main color used throughout your space. For a more subtle look choose an accent color that is several shades deeper in tone than your primary color.

Every color evokes a different mood. In fact, color can have psychological effects on a room’s inhabitants. Here’s a quick guide outlining how we can be affected by color:

Your choice of color is a very personal one.

Carefully consider how you want your bedroom to feel when selecting a color. If you want a soothing retreat avoid bright and bold tones and stick with more subtle neutral colors. If you have a favorite color that happens to be bright or bold (like red for instance), perhaps find a deeper and more relaxing interpretation of it (rust or maroon for example).

3. Invest in quality for a rich sumptuous feel

High-class hotels feel rich because they are. From the linens to the furniture, to the soaps, everything is top of the line. You can create that feeling in your own space by making a few key purchases. Of course, the bed is the crown jewel of any bedroom, so let’s start with that.

Make your bed the plush haven you deserve.

Spoil yourself with the best sheets you can afford. Look for sheets with a high thread count. Thread count refers to the number of threads that are woven into one square inch of a fabric. The higher the thread count the better quality the sheet. Higher thread count sheets feel a bit thicker and smoother than standard sheets.

The type of cotton sheets are made of is also very important in determining their quality. Top-of-the-line sheets are made from 100 percent Egyptian cotton. Second, best is 100 percent pima cotton, also known as “Supima”. Egyptian cotton has longer fibers and produces sheets that are thin yet sumptuous and strong and durable. Most sheets that are labeled “100% cotton” are made of an American upland cotton, a rougher, less expensive variety.

Upland cotton has shorter fibers that can poke out of the weave, making a coarser and weaker fabric. Pima cotton is also very soft and less likely to pill than upland cotton. Standard sheets (made of upland cotton) are the most affordable, followed by Pima and the most costly are the Egyptian cotton. A good queen sheet set made of pima you should be able to buy for less than $200. If you want the best, an Egyptian cotton sheet set may cost you $500 or more.

When selecting your bedding stick with neutral or solid colors. Most hotels have solid colored bedding for a good reason, fewer colors is more serene. Remember, an all white bed always feels clean, crisp and comforting.

Purchase key pieces that will add function and style to your room.

Find several beautiful high quality furniture pieces. A good bed, or headboard is a great long term investment. A deeply padded head board makes reading and lounging a joy. A fantastic upholstered chair with ottoman sets the stage for a reading nook. A bench at the end of the bed is also a way to add that hotel like feel. A place to rest while taking on and off your shoes can be very much appreciated. Shop for pieces in catalogs, in department stores, or online. Consignment shops may also have some unique and high quality options.

4. Buy a top quality mattress and rest in ultimate comfort

If you feel like you sleep better in a luxury hotel there’s probably a good reason for that. Aside from being away from all the chaos of your everyday life, most high end hotels provide top quality mattresses. Some people consider their mattress the most important piece of furniture in their home. After all a high quality mattress can help insure a good night’s sleep, while a poor quality mattress can seriously compromise your ability to rest.

When selecting a mattress there are two key factors to consider: support and comfort.

You want a mattress that will support your body and hold you in proper alignment. When you lie on your side your mattress should contour to the shape of your body and support your weight evenly. You also want a mattress that feels comfortable and does not apply pressure to your body. Pressure can cut off circulation and cause discomfort causing you to toss and turn and leading to a less than restful night’s sleep.

Other considerations when purchasing a mattress are motion transfer, temperature control, edge support and the number and type of coils the mattress is made of.

If you share a bed, you want a mattress that reduces motion transfer. Your partner can get in and out of bed without the action disturbing you or causing your side of the bed to move. Temperature is also important. Better mattresses have advanced foams, phase change materials, ventilation, etc., to reduce heat retention. The more coils a mattress has the better it can contour to your body. Individually wrapped coils are preferable to standard coils, which area all tied together and don’t move independently.

5. Banish clutter and rest easy

Get rid of any excess clutter. Nothing makes a place feel less than serene than lots of unsightly clutter. Put away absolutely everything that isn’t essential to keep within reach. The last thing you want to see when falling asleep at night is piles of papers, books, clothes or other items that remind you of what you have yet to do.

Hotels have zero clutter.

When you turn in there are no distractions aside from the TV (or a book if you brought one). Create that same peaceful sleep enhancing the environment by banishing clutter from your room.

Use storage containers and organizers to maximize your storage space. Consider hiring a closet organizer or purchasing a closet organization system to make the most of your closet space. First, get rid of unworn garments. If you haven’t worn it within a year it’s time to part ways with it. If your closet is too small to fit everything purchase storage containers that will fit under your bed.

Store seasonal wears in the containers and suddenly you’ll have double the closet space. Imagine your closet being perfectly organized, filled only with the things you love to wear and everything is at your fingertips. Part of what makes staying in a hotel so enjoyable is the simplicity. There are no closets overflowing with options.

6. Find and define focal points to create impact

Buy a couple of great pieces to serve as focal points, a headboard, painting, or mirror. Mirrors are incredible at creating a feeling of expansiveness in a space. Position mirrors in dark corners to brighten them. Almost every hotel room has a gigantic mirror, after all, we need to know what we look like before going out to face the world. It’s best to have both a large horizontal mirror and a full-length vertical mirror in your bedroom or dressing area.

For over the bed find a beautiful painting or a series of paintings or prints. The artwork combined with a fantastic headboard will make a statement and definitely be a focal point. Make sure they complement each other in theme and tone. Use restraint when hanging artwork in your bedroom. Hotels aren’t generally over-decked out with loads of pictures everywhere. Too many objects for the eye to fixate on is not peaceful. A few choices pieces work best. Sometimes less really is more.

7. Developing a lighting scheme to set the mood

Critical to creating a space that exudes elegance and serenity are to include multiple lighting options. There are three main types of lighting: ambient, task and accent. A room benefits greatly from a lighting scheme that includes all three types.

It’s how you use a space, that will dictate where and what type of lighting you need.

When planning a lighting scheme for your room determine the ambient light source first, then consider task and accent lighting. Try to supply a minimum of three different lighting sources for your room.

8. Dress the windows for a lavish look

Drapes are a necessity in your hotel style bedroom. Not only can they block out the light and provide privacy, but they add a luxurious feel and frame your window. When selecting window coverings look for thick drapes that are lined. If having a completely dark room helps you to sleep invest in the block out lining.

The highest quality custom made drapes have an interlining, a layer of flannel-like fabric sewn between the lining and the “face” fabric. This offers maximum durability, light blockage, and insulation. Drapes with lining are significantly more expensive but come with distinct advantages.

They can shield fabric from sun damage, making them, and your furniture lasts longer. The lining also adds weight to the drapes which protect against drafts and makes them feel more luxurious.

If you have patterned furniture or bedding, stick with solid curtains. If your furniture and bedding are solid-colored, consider patterned drapes. For an elegant and understated look choose a small, neutral print, like dots or paisley, which read like the texture from afar.

Drapes should be floor length or a few inches longer for the plushest appeal unless there’s a radiator or a deep sill in the way. Ready made panels are available in lengths from 63 to 144 inches. To determine the length you need measure from the floor up to where you’ll hang the rod and add several inches. Hang the drapes so a few inches of fabric pool onto the floor. Avoid drapes that are too short, they look awkward.

9. Curate a cozy space with your flooring

Your choice of flooring sets the stage for your room. There are several aspects to consider when selecting flooring for your bedroom, such as the feel of the floor, the look, the maintenance and the durability.

Plush carpeting exudes comfort and can feel incredible first thing in the morning when you step out of bed. Carpeting is one of the most popular bedroom flooring choices due to it’s softness and warmth. Carpet can provide insulation for your space and help control sound. An expanse of light colored carpet can also make a room seem more spacious. It’s relatively low price and ease of installation also add to carpets popularity.

Low end carpeting can be purchased for 2-3$ per square foot, higher end varieties can be much more expensive.

Carpet is not without it drawbacks. It must be cleaned regularly and stains. It can attract dust and small microbial organisms, which can negatively effect air quality and can seep into the padding. Generally carpet should be replaced every 5 to 15 years.

Hardwood flooring is the second most popular choice for a bedroom. Although it’s not as soft as carpet, hardwood planks do provide some give. Hardwood flooring can be very beautiful and offers a warm, quality appeal to a space. It comes in numerous styles and shades. Visit your local home store, Lowe’ or Home Depot, to see what’s available and find a style that will enhance your room.

You can combine hardwood flooring with throw rugs and area rugs to create a softer option and more customized look. Hardwood floor is easy to keep clean. It can be mopped with an oil based cleaner and water. It is also very durable and should last for decades.

Running $2.75 to $195 a square foot, hardwood flooring is more expensive and requires more labor to install than carpet.

Cork is a relatively new flooring material which is gaining popularity. It is very soft and spongy, and yielding beneath the feet. Cork is filled with millions of tiny air bubbles, which will insulate your bedroom against both heat and noise. Relatively hassle-free, cork flooring is sealed making it almost impossible to stain.

It is also naturally anti-microbial. The softness of cork is a benefit and a drawback. It will scratch and get gouged from pet claws, furniture legs, and high heels relatively easily. It will need to be replaced periodically, although it can be refinished a few times between installations. Cork comes in many different styles and can be slightly less expensive than hardwood flooring.

10. Create a seating area for added comfort

If space permits create a seating area in your bedroom. A seating area provides a place to rest without necessarily lying down in bed. In hotels, seating areas are often provided to grant guests a welcome spot for reading a book or watching tv.

A chaise lounge and side table work well for this as do two chairs facing each other with an ottoman in between for resting your feet. Whatever you select be sure the pieces are good quality and comfortable for sitting. Provide extra cushions for low back support and choose fabrics that coordinate with your color scheme and a style that suits your room’s theme.

11. Dress the bathroom to match your hotel-inspired bedroom

You want the style and decor of your bathroom to be complimentary and for it to almost feel like an extension of the bedroom. You can achieve this by using the same or a complimentary color scheme. Also, look for materials that speak to the style and theme you’ve already established in the bedroom.

Bathrooms benefit from big mirrors and lots of light, so be sure to provide a minimum of two lighting options, and at least one large mirror.

12. Design a dressing area if space permits

A dedicated dressing area will add a sense of luxury to your bedroom and be very useful. Find a dressing table that you love and that has plenty of storage. Pair it with an over-sized mirror and cushy stool or chair.

A decorative lamp for task lighting completes the space. Take some time to plan exactly what you will want in your dressing area and purchase containers to store everything you need in your dressing table drawers.

Don’t let this area get overrun with clutter. Keep it organized. Add a bud vase for a decorative touch. When you have a dressing area, getting ready just seems easier and more fun.

13. Accessorize and control clutter with trays

In case you haven’t noticed most hotel rooms have trays in them, (a tray on the bed with the remote, or a tray on the desk with stationery), why? Trays offer an elegant way to highlight objects and control clutter.

By gathering objects in a tray the room stays organized. Plus, because a tray is open, not a covered container, everything is easy to find and readily accessible. Steal this tray-secret and use it in your beautiful newly styled bedroom. You can use a tray on your bedside table to keep your books, glasses, and phone handy. A tray works wonders on top of a desk or bureau where small items seem to multiply.

Find a tray (or trays) that compliment your room’s theme. A tray can add a pleasant pop of color. Mirrored trays are elegant, add sparkle and catch the light. Add trays to your decor for a look that is tray-chic!

14. Bedside tables, customize yours for convenience and luxury

Bedside tables are a necessity for any decked out bedroom. Take special care when selecting yours. Once again you want lots of available storage to keep things neat. Don’t assume you need to stick with a standard bedside table. You can choose a chest of drawers or a bureau that offers more space instead.

You can use the bottom drawer to organize items you like to have handy but don’t use all the time. The top drawer is a convenient place to stash all of your frequently used necessities. Reserve the top of your bedside table for the essential items that need to be in arm’s reach, your phone, alarm clock, etc.

Provide a table or reading lamp for adequate lighting.

Choosing the right colors is very important for every room in the interior. When you want to create a relaxing atmosphere in a room, choosing the right colors is critical.

Pale blue, beige, creamy white: these are the perfect colors to decorate a luxurious adult bedroom.

The color palette starts with the walls. Drapery and tapestry in neutral colors will help create a peaceful atmosphere where you can relax. To create this look at home, avoid red bedding and opt for shades of blue and white. nine0003

Living flowers in the bedroom

Do not underestimate the power of fresh flowers. Decorating a bedroom with fresh flowers is a great way to create an instant atmosphere of luxury. The kitchen and bedroom are two places where you should always have fresh bouquets of flowers. In fact, the simpler the arrangement of colors, the better.

Adult bedroom: use the right curtains

The best luxury hotel is the one where you can sleep late in the morning despite the morning light. To recreate the same luxurious effect at home, you need to consider the quality of your curtains. The key to all of this is to follow the common hotel formula. A layer of transparent curtains is used in combination with blackout curtains that serve to darken the room. Place sheer curtains over blackout curtains to soften the look and create a more private effect. nine0003

Bedroom lighting

Think of a hotel room and its various light sources. A hotel room often has wall lights behind the bed, lights on the ceiling and above the workspace, lights in the bathroom and in the hallway. All of these different light sources work together to create a variety of moods and help the room be used for different purposes. Light is crucial and determines the entire design of the entire room, experts say. nine0003

To choose the right lighting for your room, you need to focus on two things: the type of lighting you already have in the room, and the effect you want to create. Fixtures can be adjusted. The dim light is perfect for the sleeping area, while the powerful table lamp is perfect for the workspace. Think carefully about all the functions for which your room is designed and choose the solutions that are suitable for it.

How to choose the style of the bedroom

Luxurious hotel rooms are always decorated in a special style. It can be classic, boho, modern or even rustic. Once you choose a style, every detail you add should match it. The same applies to the rest of your home. What is the style of your dining room? And the living room?

Even if you want to create a luxurious hotel suite, if the rest of your house is decorated in a rustic style, for example, this may not be suitable. Feel free to make bold choices, but the decor of the room should remain neutral and calm. This is a great way to create a simple elegance without thinking too much about the intricate details. Try to choose a style for your room that suits your personality. nine0003

Bedroom for adults: decor

Table lamps, pillows and bedside tables can give the bedroom a unique style, modern and classic. These elements should naturally blend into the decor of the room, recalling the charm of the luxurious rooms of the past. Create decor that suits your personal taste and fits in with the style you've already chosen for the bedroom.

Jewelry should not be too much. Just a few small items can very well define the theme of a room. And don't forget that it's not about decorating your kitchen where you're looking for a beautiful dining table: the bed should always be the center of attention in the bedroom. nine0003

Bedroom for adults: choosing a bed

The bed is very important in decorating a luxurious bedroom for adults. And yes, it's not surprising! But all too often we tend to spend too much money on small things and not spend enough where it's needed: the bed.
