Luxury Design Ideas from Top Hotels for Your Bedroom

To attract guests, boutique hotel owners compete to make their design more interesting. They also don't forget about comfort: functionality and convenience of bedrooms in expensive hotels at height. The most accessible and effective tricks from the arsenal of professionals we share in this article.

Dimmer switch near the bed

What is convenient in hotels (not only in designer ones, like The Barceló Torre de Madrid hotel in Madrid, but also more affordable ones) is the presence of a general light switch located at the head of the bed.

Raise your hand if you thought about this detail in your bedroom without a designer's hint? It's so pleasant to turn off the lights with one hand after reading before sleep, rather than getting out of bed on the other side of the room.

Minimal furniture set

Some people prefer several armchairs, various coffee tables and maximum number of shelves, but what hotel interiors teach us is how to live with minimalism. Residents of Called A-Place apartments in Warsaw know this very well.

High bed headboard

Design on the headboard in kapton technique doesn't end, as it may sometimes seem. On the contrary, experiments with shape, texture, and upholstery design are welcome. The decoration of bedrooms in Covent Garden Hotel in London was handled by the owner herself: rooms can be considered as a catalog of ideas.

Perfectly made bed

Ironed and perfectly made sheets, soft pillows in several sizes, and a large blanket – all designed for maximum comfort and convenience. A clear example: in One Barcelona GL hotel rooms in Barcelona, beds are made with Egyptian cotton bedding.

Unfinished walls

This technique can save money on paint and wallpaper if you have a limited budget. This is how designers gave new life to a historical building of G-Rough hotel in Rome and integrated Italian-designed furniture and decor into old, worn-out walls.

Integrated storage systems in the interior

Built-in wardrobes styled to match the interior, or a wardrobe styled like a chest of drawers – these are features you can find in most hotels. In Il Sereno hotel designed by Patricia Urquiola, the wardrobe facades are veneered like the walls. They are almost invisible but practical – exactly the effect we dream of achieving in organizing space at home.

Wallpaper with pattern

Hoteliers usually don't like white walls – too boring. Take a cue from French architect and designer Philippe de Montebourg: he chose wallpaper with a pattern imitating the bed headboard, shelves, and moldings in the bedroom of the Joyce hotel in Paris. This way, you also save on decor.

Mix of prints

Don't be afraid to combine several prints in one room – this adds dynamism and makes the interior more stylish. Are you afraid of making a mistake? Use different patterns in wall decoration and textiles, but in one color – as designer Kelly Wistler did in the Proper hotel in San Francisco.

Rich colors

A vibrant color palette for a single bedroom in the house, like in the rooms of The Shoreline Hotel Waikiki boutique hotel in Hawaii, might be too bold a move. But for guest rooms – that’s exactly what’s needed.
