Designing a luxury bedroom requires a keen eye for detail and a focus on maximizing the use of space while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
Simplicity is something that we must always take into account when looking for an elegant and high-end look. To make your bedroom look like a boutique hotel you must consider factors like color, lighting, artwork, the size of the bed, and so on.
While most guides out there focus on the visual appeal of bedroom design, in this article, we will dive deeper into creating a space that is not just a feast for the eyes but also a sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation.
Wooden Paneling
Wooden paneling can bring texture, elegance, and a contemporary feel to any room. It adds a warm, calming feel and architectural depth to the room. Flawless modern design using wood walls can accentuate a room’s atmosphere. Whether minimalist, traditional, or eclectic, wooden wall panels add a tactile element to any space.
Coordinate scents
Think about what you first notice when you walk into someone’s house. For most of you, it is probably the way that it smells unless it’s covered in dirt! Even when you walk into the store, there are scents infused into stores to make you feel a certain type of way. You want to make sure that every room has its own signature scent. Maybe in the living room, it’s a little bit more upbeat, and you might prefer a citrus scent or floral scent. But when it comes to the bedroom, you have two ways to make it like a hotel boutique.
Warm, sultry scents like oud, sandalwood, or musk or you can go with relaxing scents like lavender or chamomile. You can infuse these scents in so many ways. Option one is to add candles. You can even add them to candle warmers. The other options are diffusers and incense. A lot of people use scent beads or essential oils in their laundry.
Add Layers of Texture to the Bed
Usually, there are a lot of soft textures there. But so often, people buy the kind of bed in the bag, or they buy the basic sheet set and then just throw it on their bed. In this kind of set, there is not much contrast in different textures or different layering of textures happening on the bed, which is a little bit of a miss. If you upgrade your bedroom and want to make your bed like those in hotels, consider adding layers like a blanket along the base of your bed or even different pillows. There will probably be too many pillows on there. So don’t go a little bit too crazy with the pillows.
If you want to add different textures like cotton sheets, linen, wool blankets, fur, or faux, just go for it. Those are really great options as just sort of ways to add different textures on top. It is a small thing but those different textures give a different weight and visual component to the room and make it a lot more expensive and interesting.
Add Nightstands
Nightstands are not only functional, but they really look elegant and classy. They are incredibly elevating the room by not just having a basic bed. If you don’t have enough space, consider a little wall-shelf. There are some beautiful ones out there and many luxurious brands produce them because of the minimal final look that they have in the room.
Desaturated Color Palette
Sometimes, people opt for a really bright, bold, saturated color in the bedroom. But let’s be realistic! We all know that using natural colors is the key to having a more luxurious design. Even if you are one of those people who love sharp colors, you should take into account that it will make you tired someday. So, it is better to consider these colors for your bedroom if you want a more old-money look!
- Smoky Blue
Since blue is the most relaxing hue on the color wheel, it is not surprising why most boutique hotels use it as a dominant color! Blue has a positive effect on the mind. It is a box of calmness and relaxation. Putting your mind in the right mood for the night because it helps slow down human metabolism. Smoky blue is perfect to be combined with poor materials and natural wooden elements because it provides contrast and warmth in the space. If you would like to incorporate some metals and core elements, brushed gold will be the perfect one.
- Liveable green
Green is a natural choice in interior design. Because we, as humans, are so used to seeing it everywhere. Green is a relaxing color that is very pleasing to humans because it’s present in large amounts in nature. It is perfect in light tones for lux bedrooms because it gives the space a sense of freshness and airiness. Green is perfect to be combined with other colors or earthy tones like beige, light brown, light or dark gray, and natural wooden materials. If you want to incorporate metals, golden details are a must-have for this amazing color.
- James White
White is perfect for the bedroom because it is serene, fresh, and bright. It is the perfect color to be used in a small or dark space. The secret to decorating with white to have a more luxurious bedroom is adding a little extra something. White has endless possibilities to be combined. But now it’s prevalent to combine it with black accents, furniture, or floor in light wooden features. Rustic, the core element is made with natural materials and monochromatic patterns that create a Scandinavian feel. If you want to add a pop of color, pale blue, blush pink, or pastels are great for taking up secondary positions.
Add a rug
The rug is oftentimes a forgotten piece. People think of a rug in a living room, but sometimes, it can be really great to put a rug in the bedroom. It actually does a couple of things. First of all, it is always appealing, especially if you have hardwood floors, and when you get out of bed, it feels better when you walk in something soft. It is kind of fancy and luxurious underfoot. The second thing it does is add another texture to your home. So you are able to create a barrier between the hard surface of what you’re using in your bed and the hard surface if you have hardwood floors under your bed. Just creates kind of another opportunity to add a little bit more texture into the space to feel a little bit more luxurious.
