Transforming Bedrooms Into Boudoirs

Have you ever stayed in a hotel somewhere and come home wishing that your cluttered, disorganized bedroom looked more like the sophisticated, luxurious one you just left? Transforming your bedroom at home into a boutique hotel style space is not that hard though. Read on for some ideas to spark your imagination.

Color Schemes

Because the idea behind the design is to make the dcor appeal to as many people as possible, most hotel rooms are decorated in a rather monochrome manner. To recreate that calming look at home pick one primary color and one coordinating neutral color.

To create the cocoon type feel of a hotel bedroom, have both your bedroom walls and ceiling painted using your chosen colors and then plan to pick out furnishings that match or at least closely complement the new paint job.

Dcor Basics

The best hotel rooms seem to invite the weary traveler to immediately flop down and relax. That means adding comfy furniture without cluttering the room up as well as more than a few functional elements. A popular hotel look that is quite easy to copy is the addition of a large padded headboard that is great to lean against to watch TV or read.

Make sure you have easy to reach night stands at either side of the bed. The addition of a pair of fabric covered chairs facing each other will make your bedroom feel like it is more of an oasis away from the world, rather than just a place to head to fall asleep immediately.

On the bed itself the sheets and pillows should be big and comfy as well. Little luxuries like high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets may seem like a rather large investment compared to those you find at Wal-Mart but they last for years longer so in the end they more than pay for themselves. Another hotel trick is to use more than the standard two to four pillows, at least for bedroom dcor purposes.

Bedroom Lighting

The lighting scheme in the average bedroom at home is often overlooked. The best bedroom lighting schemes includes multiple layers of lighting, preferably operating on separate dimmer switches.

Bedside reading lamps provide a functional purpose , while the addition of a beautiful statement piece, such as an elegant overhead chandelier, will add an instant sense of drama and luxury to the room. If you have opted to add a seating area to your bedroom as suggested above, reading lamps should be placed next to them as well. Wall sconces can be used to add visual interest as well as to provide an extra source of light.

Final Touches

Many boutique hotel bedrooms have a least one piece of art or other accessory that is so gorgeous the temptation to stuff it into your suitcase is hard to resist. At home, surround yourself with similar accents to add the same luxurious feel. It does need to be overly expensive though. A simple stylish water carafe on the nightstand or a single striking piece of artwork that appeals to you personally can do the trick nicely.
