You needn’t check into a hotel for a good night’s sleep in a luxurious bedroom.
Staying in a luxury hotel is a bit of a treat. There is someone there to clear up after you and tend to your every need, a chance to properly kick back in comfort plus the opportunity to get some well deserved rest. However there is no reason why your bedroom should not look and feel like that of a five-star hotel by following these simple steps.
1. Pay particular attention to your bed.
Considering you spend a third of your life asleep, it is worth investing in a quality mattress and bed sheets to match. Whether you prefer a hard or soft mattress, this is one area not to cut corners and it really pays to take time when selecting the right one for you.
2. Look at your window dressings.
Black out curtains and blinds will prevent you from getting woken by light in the morning or light from street lights? The room will plunge into darkness making it the perfect environment for the light sleepers among us.
3. Create a soft floor.
Put a rug in your bedroom to brighten the space but also for the comfort of your feet. Place it just by your bed with a pair of slippers for that even more luxe feel.
4. Tweak your lights.
You’ll probably spend a fair amount of time in a hotel reaching for the labyrinth of light switches. It needn’t be this complicated but if you have spotlights overhead, change the bulbs for a soft rather than bright white to reduce the glare, and get some nightlights for your bedside tables so you don’t get bright lights in your eyes.
5. Think with your nose.
Hotels spend considerable time and money getting their lobbies and rooms to smell on brand. This can easily be achieved at home with a scented candle or diffuser and there are a variety of choices on the market to suit your taste and mood.
