Living in Mantua gives you access to resort-style amenities, so why shouldn’t your bedroom feel like the ones found at resort hotels? By incorporating a few elements into your bedroom design, you can create a hotel-inspired bedroom, allowing you to unwind and recharge in style. Here are some tips for creating a luxury bedroom in your new Mantua home.
Splurge on Sheets
The first rule of creating a luxurious, hotel-inspired bedroom is to splurge on sheets. Invest in high-quality, white or neutral-colored bedding with a high — at least 300 — thread count. Hotel room sheets are usually made of percale or sateen but use what works best for you. Add a plush throw and a soft rug to mimic the style found in bed-and-breakfasts and boutique hotels.
Perfect Pillows
Luxury hotels don’t skimp on the pillows, and neither should you. When it comes to the type of pillow that’s up to you. Most hotels opt for firm down-alternative pillows, but you can go with feathers, bamboo or latex. Just make sure you pile them high.
Dreamy Drapery
Luxury hotel rooms usually sport floor length drapes. They add a touch of elegance and frame the room. To get the look, you will need double curtain rods so that you can have sheer curtains and heavier drapes. If you have a wall of windows, be sure to use at least four panels. Invest in blackout curtains so you don’t wake up when the sun does.
Soft Lighting
Install dimmer switches or use bedside lamps with warm, soft lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. Avoid harsh overhead lighting, and opt for soft, diffused light instead.
Art & Mirrors
To get that luxury look, hang artwork and mirrors on the wall. Display large canvases or framed art. Choose landscapes you find soothing such as the beach or the mountains. If you are going for a modern look, invest in an abstract piece. Mirrors can make a room seem larger and channel light into the room. Choose mirrors that complement the artwork for a seamless look.
Fresh Fragrances
You don’t want to come home to a smelly room so invest in a diffuser and top-notch scents. Crisp and clean should be your go-to scents. Linen is a favorite. However, if you have a preferred scent go for it. You want a scent that relaxes you. Candles are also a good investment as they add fragrance and a touch of romance to your bedroom.
Beautiful Bathrooms
Once you’ve created a luxury bedroom, pay attention to the bath. Check with your builder to see if you can add some spa-worthy amenities such as an oversized shower with two showerheads, a deep tub or more. Keep your counters clutter-free. Jewelry organizers and pretty baskets usually do the trick. Purchase high-end bath products. Find a soft, robe and hang it on the door.
