If a person’s home is their castle, what does that make their room? Naturally, we all want our rooms to look the best that they can. One of the very best ways to do this is to transform your room into a luxury hotel room through these six hacks.
1. Fluffy Down Comforters
You may have noticed that luxury hotel rooms tend to have some of the most comfortable pillows that you’ve ever slept on in your life. The way that hotels achieve this is through the use of high-end comforters-aka fluffy down comforters.
So, you should acquire a few fluffy comforters for your own room. When it comes to comforter material, down comforters are the fluffiest and most commonly used in luxury hotels. While they are a bit of an investment if you choose to purchase from expensive brands, we can still safely say that they are entirely worth it. A fluffy down comforter will make your room look and feel genuinely premium.
2. Stack Pillows
One of the very simple psychological tricks that many high-end luxury hotels use to wow their guests is to stack pillows in descending order by size. You may have personally noticed this yourself if you tend to stay in luxury hotels for long periods of time. A neat pile of three or more stacked pillows on a bed or a side-drawer just creates a very neat, impressive visual that not only calms down your OCD but also gives the room a sense of order.
Organizing the pillows in your own room, in the same manner, can, therefore, be a great way for you to replicate this feeling of order and neatness. So, stack your pillows on top of one another. Start with the largest one by area and add additional ones on top in descending order of size.
3. Use Linen Spray to Make Sheets Crisp
Linen spray is a common product that can be found from most stores, that are strategically used by luxury hotels to provide their sheets with a very crisp and neat appearance. You may have noticed yourself that the sheets used in hotels often appear so neat and crisp that it feels like they were only recently opened from their packaging.
The truth is that this kind of appearance is easily obtained through the use of a linen spray which causes the fabric to tighten up and appear very smooth. You can replicate this appearance with the sheets in your home by applying some linen spray to your own sheets.
4. Opt for a Peaceful Color Palette
Almost all hotel rooms will tend to use color palettes with similar themes: warm hues and soft colors that attract visitors through their very comfortable appearance and relaxing overtones. This is a calculated decision on the part of hotel managers who understand this basic fact of human psychology and adapt their hotel rooms accordingly.
So, consider repainting your room’s walls in a more relaxed color palette. This will help to provide a calming and relaxing mood to anyone who enters your room, and it will contribute to an overall improvement in its appearance.
5. Choose the Right Lights
You will never encounter a decent luxury hotel that does not have adequate lighting in place in its lobbies and rooms. People don’t want to have to squint or strain their vision in order to see things, and hotels fully understand this fact. They act accordingly by making sure that the lighting in their hotel rooms is as practical and illuminating as possible. Color temperature also affects your mood so it’s very important to choose the right lighting.
In order to achieve this same effect at home, have a look at all of the light sources in your room and think about where you’re lacking. Ideally, you want to have multiple sources of lighting that cover the entire content of your room.
6. Add Some Flowers
It’s almost a given that when you enter a hotel room, you’ll see either a small vase of flowers or maybe a little hanging pot near the window that contains some fresh lilies. Much like everything else that hotels do, this is also a calculated aspect of décor that is fully intended to provide guests with a source of mental relief as human beings naturally have a subconscious positive association with flowers.
If you have no sources of greenery or vegetation at all in your room, then it is high time that you consider purchasing a vase and adding a few flowers. Not only will this improve the overall appearance of your room by serving as a colorful accessory to an otherwise dark or pale color scheme, but you will also experience the innate source of relief that all human beings experience when encountering flowers.
Hopefully, after having a read at this article you’ll have developed some newfound insight into how you can transform your room to resemble something found in a luxury hotel.
