3 Tips For Emulating Luxury Hotel Style At Home

There’s nothing better than a stay at a luxury hotel. Whether it’s the high quality bedding, large fluffy towels or the beautiful decor, staying in a luxury hotel brings all the best feelings. It’s only natural that, after a luxury hotel stay, you return home and want to replicate some of those feelings within your own space. Combining the decor of a luxury hotel with the functionality of your home does come with its own challenges, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not doable.

A hotel is so much more than just a place to sleep, as is your home. So many hotels are now blurring the lines between traditional luxury hotel spaces, residential homes and commercial spots. This means that it can be easier to replicate within your home. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the ways in which you can emulate luxury hotel style within your home.

Use Scents

Almost every luxury hotel uses aroma and scent to make shared and common areas within the hotel feel more extravagant. Many of the most luxurious hotels either have their own scent created for them, which is usually available to buy for guests to take home, or pair with companies such as Jo Malone or The White Company to use their scented goods.

If you visit a luxury hotel or spa and really like the scent, always be sure to ask what it is as, usually, hotel staff will be able to tell you so you can recreate the experience at home. Once you know the scent, you will likely be able to find it in different forms, from candles to essential oils, and these can then be used in different areas of your home.

Candles can be placed in bathrooms, on coffee tables or in the kitchen, whilst essential oils can be added to a diffuser to emit a luxurious scent around your home. Having a nice, calming and relaxing scent in your home can create a calming feeling and can really improve your mood.

Refresh Your Bedroom Decor

Most hotel rooms consist of just a bedroom style, which means that when it comes to mimicking the feeling within your home, this is the obvious place to start. Luxury hotels will typically undergo a hospitality fit out, with a focus on making a space highly utilised, but this doesn’t need to be done at home. Instead, you can dedicate your room to being as luxurious as possible.

Wall panelling is a trend which was once reserved for luxury and boutique hotels. However, it has fast become one of the must-have home decor trends, replacing the wallpapered feature wall trend which was popular for many years. This instantly changes the way a room looks and feels and, when done in a darker colour, really adds a touch of sophistication to a room. Pair this with a paint colour a tone or two lighter on the other walls and you’ll really be emulating luxury style within your home.

Alongside wall panelling, another feature of luxury hotels is typically bold colour splashes. Colour can have a huge impact on your emotions and creating a colour scheme which replicates a boutique hotel is one of the easiest ways to add this style to your home. Deep navy blue, bold mustards and dark greens are popular colour choices on top of grey tones, whilst warmer gold colourways are sure to add a splash of warmth and energy to a room.

Add Nods To A Spa In The Bathroom

A stay at a luxury hotel isn’t complete without a visit to the spa. Creating a spa-like environment is one of the best ways to create a relaxing escape within the comfort of your very own home and what better room to do this than in the bathroom? Depending on your level of investment, you could either go all out with a full redesign or instead add small nods to a luxury spa within your current bathroom.

This could be the addition of some plush, soft towels and bathrobes, fresh eucalyptus hanging from the shower to emulate spa vibes, scents and aromas or even just adding some luxury toiletries. With the smaller additions, all you need to do is add anything which enriches and enhances the sensory experience within your bathroom. Scent is especially important here too, so use the scent ideas mentioned above within the bathroom and this can have the biggest impact. For the perfect finishing touches, add some greenery with some bathroom-friendly plants.
