Create a hotel-style bed at home

We’re going to let you in on the secrets of creating a bed of hotel standards today, so that you can create the look in your own bedroom. You’ll never want to get out of bed again!

 

 

 

 

A good mattress

You have to start with a quality mattress. The most popular choices on the market are innerspring and memory foam ones. Add an extra layer of luxury and comfort with a mattress topper. These fit over your mattress and has the added benefit of protecting your mattress against spills and stains. If you have the money to spend, pick a topper that’s stuffed with duck down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Night frill

Night frills are notorious for being fussy, but if it’s the hotel look you’re after, you have to add it. If the frills are too much for you, get one with a boxed design. If you simply cannot see yourself struggling with a night frill every morning, however, invest in a bed with a faux suede base. It’s no mess, no fuss luxury.

High quality linen

Next up are your sheets. The only choice you really have is cotton and it has to have a high thread count. Again, if you feel like splashing out, spend your money on Egyptian cotton . Pure Egyptian cotton is regarded by some as the finest linen one can find.

 

 

Plush duvets and pillows

Think about those duvets you just want to sink in to… This is the type of duvet you want to go for. Like with the mattress topper, you want to ideally choose a duck or goose down filling. These inners creates that puffed up look and a duvet that’s delightfully crisp against your skin. For your pillows, think ultimate comfort as well. Whether that’s a foam or feather inner for you will depend on your sleeping habits.

 

 

Blankets and throws

Once your duvet and pillows are on your bed, you can move on to choosing a blanket or throw to go with the set. In winter, a blanket can go well, while a light throw will work well in summer. Draped across or at an angle over one corner of your bed, the blanket or throw becomes more than just a way to keep warm – it transforms into a decorative focal point.

 

An assortment of cushions

The finishing touches are cushions, artfully arranged. Use as many cushions as you like, and mix up shapes and sizes to keep things interesting. Play with reflective elements, like sequins, in summer; add warmer textures, like faux fur, in winter.

The final note, and one of the most important pointers, is to keep the colours muted and the designs calm. Your best choice will actually be linen in either white or cream, and a complete absence of patterns. If you go too over-the-top, your bed will fall very short of hotel standards.
