How to Create a Hotel-Inspired Bedroom

Calm Colours

The colour palette you’ll find inside luxury hotels and boutique bed and breakfasts is almost always restrained. A blend of warm neutrals, soft taupes, and the occasional moody accent to add depth and drama. There’s even a science behind these pared-back schemes, as they allow the eye to rest and your brain to prepare itself for sleep. 

Hotels rarely try to do too much, so your bedroom shouldn’t either. Start with the largest surfaces in your space, like your walls, carpet, and even curtains, covering them in a soft neutral like oatmeal or warm white. Then introduce depth through one or two secondary tones in grounding and luxurious colours. Olive green, rich mocha, and champagne. Whatever shades you settle on, you should be able to count the colours in your palette on one hand. 

Subtle Storage

Clutter is a key area that hotels get right. These rooms are beautifully edited, with wires hidden inside walls, plugs built into headboards, and even television remotes tucked away inside a dedicated drawer. Good storage is the foundation for why hotels feel so calm. There are no reminders of our everyday stresses – only a blank canvas where you can be present and rest.

Bedside tables are the perfect place to start storing your own stressors. Our designs have been carefully crafted with in-built cable management, to keep things neat, tidy and stylish. Our Juniper tables in dark mango wood have a warm profile and natural grain finish. As practical as they are pretty, they provide a place to tuck away chargers, glasses and anything else that would otherwise be strewn across the surface. 

If you're searching for something cleaner and more contemporary, look to our Manhattan bedside tables. These offer discreet storage in a clean ceramic white finish, making them an ideal piece for a lighter, more minimalist scheme. 

Five-star Beds 

Your bed is, unsurprisingly, the heart of your bedroom. It’s the room’s centrepiece, and usually the first thing you notice when you walk in. The same is even more true in hotel rooms where space is at a premium and the bed can take up most of the area. For bedrooms that are similarly tight on space, ottoman beds are a brilliant way to create a statement and store your clutter. 

Our Naomi king size ottoman bed pairs a beautiful dual-tone velvet headboard with a practical hydraulic lift-up base. Generous hidden storage is the perfect place for spare bedding, out-of-season clothes, and anything you'd rather keep out of site and out of mind.

For a more dramatic finish, our Amalfi super king size bed marries the same practical ottoman storage with a striking ribbed velvet headboard. This piece is part of our wider Amalfi collection, which spans double, king and super king ottoman beds upholstered in an array of premium colour options, from sage green velvet to mocha plush.

Ambient Lighting

Hotels rarely ever rely on a single overhead bulb to illuminate their rooms. Instead, they layer several softer light sources at different heights to create their desired effect – from cosy and cocooning at night, to bright and invigorating in the morning.

Bedside lamps are the perfect place to begin layering your own lighting. Our Amalfi table lamp combines a ridged, amber-coloured glass base with brushed brass detailing, and a dual-lit function that lets you choose between ambient glow and focused light for reading. For a slightly more sculptural look, the Sanza table lamp pairs a natural linen-effect shade on a marble base, with brushed brass accents to complete the look, it casts a soft, diffused light that makes a room feel instantly more relaxed in the evening. 

To finish the layering, our Leonie wall light adds a touch of warmth and drama to your wall. Position it beside your headboard for a hotel-worthy finishing touch.

Luxurious Textures

Hotel bedrooms are created with contrast in mind. Smooth velvet against natural linen, or cool marble against warm wood – mixing textures gives a room depth and makes it feel expensive, even when the palette remains simple and restrained.

Always combine materials rather than matching everything perfectly. A bed covered in rich velvet upholstery, paired with a linen-shaded lamp, and a wood-toned nightstand already give you three distinct textures working in harmony. Add a woven rug underfoot for warmth, and your room will feel instantly richer and more intentionally designed.

Added Accessories

Accessories are where a hotel’s personality really come to life – so don’t be afraid to bring yours in here too. And, again, it all starts with the bed.

A folded throw across the foot, a cluster of cushions in varying sizes and textures, and perhaps a bolster for a more tailored finish all add up to a more luxurious look.

Commit to two or three coordinating tones pulled from your existing colour palette, then keep the textures varied. Place a bouclé cushion next to a velvet one, or loosely drape a chunky knit throw rather than perfectly folding it. We’re looking for abundance without clutter – a bed that looks beautiful and inviting. Not a display you're too nervous to unmake and disturb.

None of these tips require a full renovation or an unlimited budget. Creating a hotel-inspired bedroom comes down to intentional design, and smart decision-making. A calm, restrained palette, storage that keeps the clutter out of sight and, of course, a bed that feels like a genuine statement. Change one piece at a time, tweaking as you go, and you'll have a space that feels less like the room you sleep in and more like the retreat you look forward to coming home to.
