Move around your furniture, invest in new linens and a mattress, and dim those lights for a five star experience
Anyone who has ever stayed in a plush hotel room knows that the only downside to revelling in pure luxury for a night or two, is that sooner or later, reality will kick in and you will have to return home.
“Choose a mattress which supports your sleep style and dress it with a luxurious duvet and pillows with fresh bed linen for ultimate comfort – also, your colour palette should be reflective of your personality and what you consider restful. So, choose a calm base using soft shades of blues and greens for serenity or browns, greys and taupes for a luxurious feel.
Of course, everyone has a different style preference and Colin Horgan who designed the Love Out Loud room at the Hard Rock Hotel in Dublin says that when refurbishing your bedroom it’s important to “ask yourself whether you want it to provide a sanctuary for relaxation and head space or to be reflective of your personal style”.
Horgan says that soft furnishings are also crucial to creating the perfect chill-out zone and in the bedroom, it’s important to choose the best quality you can afford. “When designing bedrooms for our guests, there are two factors we consider – clever storage to keep the room looking neat and personal and tasteful decor which adds a little local personality into each room,” he says. “These elements can also be considered for a personal home bedroom.
“If you buy well, you buy once – so, plump responsibly-sourced feather stuffed cushions are not going to sag over time and will retain their plumpness and the better quality the furniture, the more it will stand the test of time and fleeting trends. On that note, an occasional chair in a bedroom, is very useful and restful because storage is very important and the more you have behind closed doors and drawers, the neater the room will look.
