Let’s admit it, we all love hotel rooms! A good luxurious hotel offers sophistication, elegance, and class that’s unparalleled. It gives you the kind of comfort that feels like a peaceful haven after a long day. But there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to experience that everyday, too. You can mimic the calming and inviting environment of a luxurious hotel at your home with plush soft furnishing, cosy lighting, beautiful furniture, and the light aroma of pleasant scents in the air. Here are the ways to get that right.
Ever been frustrated in a hotel room because you can't figure out how to turn off the dozens of tiny lights? We feel you. Those dozens of tiny lights however, are what lend the room the cosy vibe. The lighting of a room single-handedly impacts the vibe and mood of the place, and light layering is our pro-tip. This is when you layer different types of lights in a room, as opposed to only having one primary source of light. You can layer bigger lights like ceiling lights and chandeliers along with smaller lights like table lamps, floor lamps, and LED strips behind mirrors and shelves. Another criminally underrated tip is to always go for warmer lights for an inviting, cosy atmosphere.
Adding texture to your home significantly makes things more interesting. Going for a textured wall instead of a plain wall will add personality to it without needing an artwork. We suggest wall textures like skip trowel and orange peel. You can also add textures through soft furnishing, by incorporating fabrics like bouclé, velvet, and suede.
Quality rugs
Beautiful, good quality rugs are non-negotiable for a well-styled home. While patterned statement rugs like abstract rugs, persian rugs and geometric rugs add personality to the room, plain and textured rugs make the space more cosy.
When you first walk into a home, you don’t notice the huge chandelier or ostentatious artworks. What you first notice is something far more personal. It’s the scent of the home. And masking underlying odours isn’t enough. To achieve a truly luxurious home, there needs to be a subtle, pleasant aroma. We would suggest picking a signature fragrance for your home and sticking to it, so it feels comforting and familiar. While there are a bunch of different ways to lend a nice aroma to your place, like scented candles and sprays, our pick would be reed diffusers!
Classy, elegant tableware is the ultimate mark of a well-thought-out home. Beautiful Victorian plates with dainty floral prints, sleek flatware, and exquisite porcelain serveware are just a couple of elements that echo impeccable taste.
Investing in high-quality soft furnishings will go a long way. Our pro-tip would be to layer your cushions. Not only is adding lots and lots of cushions to your bed or couch one of the top decor trends of the year, but it also lends an inviting, cosy vibe to the space. Style multiple voluminous, well-stuffed cushions together.
Our pro tip? Invest in cushions with high-quality inserts like duck or goose feathers. Whereas, plant-based options include kapok and cotton.
Adding a huge artwork on a wall in your living room will instantly give it a lot of character. Be mindful of the vibe you want to convey. You can go for traditional artworks like Gond Art or Pichhwai if you’re aiming for a rustic, earthy vibe, or opt for a piece of abstract art if you want to keep things cool and contemporary.
If the various science-backed benefits of keeping plants in your home aren’t enough, let us bring to your attention that houseplants also elevate the aesthetics of your home, adding life and colour to it. And, if you’re picking the right planters, they double up as accents!
Don’t underestimate the power of a good coffee table and sideboard. These elements practically anchor the room. Once you have a beautiful coffee table and a side board, the next step is to style them well. Use elements like coffee table books, candles, coasters, trinket trays, plants, and accents.
Having an elegant home bar gives you a nice little corner to relax and let loose. It also has great potential to impress your guests! And it doesn’t have to take up a lot of space—you can opt for a compact mini bar.
