If you want your home to be a space that instantly relaxes you, then why not emulate the feeling of your favourite hotel? Here are some top ways to make your home feel like a luxury hotel…
Your house is your sanctuary and the place that you want to return at the end of the day and be able to relax. One thing we love the most about luxury hotels is how as soon as you walk in you instantly feel all of your worries melt away. If you are looking to recreate this look at home, there are several ways that you can do so. Here are some of our top tips…
Invest in good quality wallpaper
One of the best ways to make your home look like a luxury hotel is to focus on the walls. You want to imbue them with a bit of colour and style, but without looking dated or distasteful. We recommend checking out Photowall who have a range of stunning wallpaper designs that you can add to your space. You could either opt for a wall mural if you are looking for a particular feature wall, or you could choose a designer wallpaper to add to your space. Why not look on Pinterest for some ideas of colour combinations?
Put pictures up on the walls
Never underestimate the power of art on your walls. By adding in pictures to your space you will instantly draw colours together and make it feel much more cosier and relaxing. Without things on your walls your home can feel uninviting and impersonal. There are many ideas you can try for adding pictures to your wall. You could make a gallery wall of similar prints from the same series, or you could get large prints of your favourite photos that you have taken. It is a good idea to play around with different frames and different size images to see how they look in the space.
Look into the textures you use
If you want your home to be aesthetically pleasing, consider the different textures that you can use. Get some soft throws and cushions that can be draped over your sofa, if you have a bench on your dining table, why not get a sheepskin that you can place on it? If you have hardwood or laminate flooring, be sure to get a rug that can soften up the space and make it feel cosy. There are many ways that you can utilise different fabrics and textures.
Make it smell great
One of the best things about heading to a luxury hotel is that it smells amazing right from the moment you enter it. Try to replicate this by making your home smell great too. You could get a console table in the hallway with a reed diffuser on it that will smell delicious from the moment you open the door. You could get candles that you put up around the place, or an oil diffuser that can send out scents as scheduled intervals. If you don’t want anything too strong, plug in air fresheners are a good idea as you can adjust the setting on many of them if you want a subtle or stronger smell.
Think about how to utilise your space
A cluttered home can cause a cluttered mind. To avoid this, think carefully about what you can do to simplify your space and keep mess and clutter to a minimum. Ensure that everything has its place and it is easy to keep tidy. Get storage boxes and cupboards for items and try to clean up as you go along. If you have lots of items like books, display these on a bookshelf or inside a cabinet. Light can be a great way to make your home feel bigger, so try and make the most of this when designing where things are placed. If you want to add the illusion of more space, it can be a good idea to purchase a big mirror that will both reflect light and make your room look larger.
These are just a few simple ways that you can make your home feel and look like a luxury hotel. It will be a space that you come home to after a long day and feel instantly relaxed and refreshed.
