Hotel interior designers start with a a color palette when designing a guest room. The interior design scheme is carefully studied to tie in with the main hotel interior design theme or the location of the hotel (such as the tropical, modern,desert or beach theme). You may similarly want to develop a concept for your bedroom that reflects your personality. The bedroom is a place of private refuge in the home for you to rest and relax. Your bedroom is the one place that you can personalise to reflect your taste and design style. Have fun and start with some bold themes that you have dreamed of but never really followed thro. Follow these tips to make the space as luxurious and multi-functional as a first-class hotel room:
The Space
In a hotel guest room, small spaces are creatively designed for the guest for multiple activities like sleeping ,entertaining and study. You can do the same with your bedroom and create areas for sleeping, reading, a coffee niche or mini refrigerator, desk and the bath and closet. You can design this living environment with any sized room. First step is to plan and decide which activities you want to perform (aside from sleeping!) and plan the space accordingly.
Comfort design Tips
Rexamine the room’s insulation for acoustics, ventilation and system controls. If necessary add extra insulation between walls, install carpet pad, add fabric walls with padded upholstered wall panels or on the headboard. These steps help increase comfort. Place your bed away from air vents and make sure you have access to fresh air. Common mistakes are air vents blowing directly over the bed. Conceal all speakers at key areas for a sound system should not be overlooked. Install a three-way switching control near the bedside located above the nightstand for easy access.
Lighting Controls for Bedroom.
Just like first-class hotel rooms, the following techniques are often utilized:
- Three-way switch at entry for bedside lamp
- Closet light that turns on automatically when door is opened
- Reading lights at bed that are individually controlled
- Ample lighting in bathroom – lighted makeup mirror, wall sconces and overhead lighting at vanity, lighting in tub area and lighting under vanity for night light
- Dimmer controls on everything!
- Late Night Snacks
Incorporate a station for coffee, beverages and snacks. If you want to really get snazzy, add a mini bar or wine cooler, and a sink (can be located near bathroom entry). What better way to relax than not having to go the kitchen for a cool beverage!
Flexible Interior Spaces
Think “multi-use.” Incorporate a pivoting desk so you can watch television (or the sunset) while working on those expense reports. If there is room for additional seating, rather than a standard chair, use either a chaise lounge, built in seating or two upholstered chairs with leather ottomans. Ottoman can be used to rest tired feet, as a surface for a board game or as a dining surface. Also, add a mirror above the desk so you can use it as a make-up vanity if your better half has control of the bathroom!
Natural Light
Ensure drapery treatments stack past windows to maximize views. Ensure that drapery panels overlap at least 4″ at center draws so that a “blackout” environment can be maintained when you want to snooze. Plus, line the drapery panels with a top-notch liner! And as an over-the-top idea, motorize window treatments with open/close switches at entry and bedside.
The Bed
- Buy the best bed you can. This will be the best investment you have ever made for your peace of mind. Consider a pillow top.
- Do away with the bedspread. Use a dust skirt and making the bed becomes a breeze.
- Purchase top quality bedding, including 300 thread count sheets and duvets.
- Add throw pillows for color and pizzazz and include a throw blanket at the end of bed to protect that duvet and provide a cozy cover-up while reading a book in your favorite chair!
- Lastly: Make it Personal and Unique
