I recently read an article about how to create a hotel vibe in your apartment bedroom. The article focused on aesthetics. But I think the key to a hotel vibe in your apartment bedroom is quality linen. Here’s how to create a hotel style bedroom in your own apartment.
Quality and quantity pillows and cushions
In my own Airbnb I have four pillows for my guests. Two soft pillows and two medium firm pillows. This way the guest can choose what level of comfort they need for a good sleep.
I have just one decorative feather filled linen cushion. It serves an aesthetic purpose. It also provides extra comfort if the guest wants to read in bed, for example.
The key is in the materials. All my pillows are cotton lined for breathability. My linen is also either cotton or 100% linen. Linen has a luxe feel about it naturally. The natural aspect of the material is ideal for creating a hotel style bedroom in your own apartment.
You can mix complementary colours with your linen or keep it classic with an all white bed. You can even choose waffle style bed linen.
The icing on the cake for your hotel style bedroom in your own apartment is a quality throw. You can also use a blanket at the end of the bed.
This provides a colour and texture contrast. Mine is 100% lambs wool. Again an all natural material ensuring comfort for my guests and a hotel style bedroom.
Natural filled donna or quilt
Not so long ago I switch from a feather filled quilt to a 100% Australian wool filled quilt. Again I prefer the natural material which I feel provides a more even level of warmth.
With my old feather filled quilt, I had to keep shaking it. This ensured the feathers were evenly spread for coverage and warmth.
Australian wool is ideal for both winter and summer months. As you can buy lighter or heavier wool quilts to suit your own body temperature.
There are given wool quilts with two quilts joined by buttons that can work in both seasons. Personally I prefer the added interest of a natural wool blanket for that hotel style bedroom.
Also, a blanket provides colour, pattern and textural interest to your apartment bedroom, especially if you’ve chosen all white linen.
A good mattress and mattress protector help create the special luxury feel. You get this sensation when you book a hotel to stay in. So these are also important elements to add to your apartment bedroom to create a hotel style feel.
We are initially impressed by a well-designed hotel bedroom. This is due to its interesting design elements, such as a bed head or wall treatment. The key difference to our stay as guests is the quality of the bedding and linen.
Linen that is soft and fluffly and smells good. Cushions that your head oozes into and a quilt you want to wrap around your body.
