Stick to White Bed Linen
Introduction
You may have slept in a five-star hotel in your travels and enjoyed the luxury and peaceful night of sleep that comes with it. You find it hard to resist the crispy bed that softly comforts you as you sleep- you wake up so relaxed in the morning ready to face the new day with confidence and a mind free of anxiety.
Although you already have your bedroom back at home neat and clean, the coziness strikes you and start wondering how to replicate it in when you get there. The quality of the bed, linens, mattresses, and the organization skills displayed in a five-star hotel bedroom you can replicate at home with some of the following tips.
Stick to White Bed Linen
White color can match with anything else with so much simplicity. Your bed, being the center of attraction in your bedroom, looks great and stylish with white linen despite the colors that you have chosen for the walls, ceiling, etc. White linen gives you a calming mood while you sleep- it is pleasant to look at, and it has a fashionable appeal that never ends. Besides, here are other benefits of sticking to white linen on your bed:
- White is easy to clean since you can bleach it.
- Using white, you do not need to worry about having a feminine or masculine appeal- white is neutral.
- It reflects simplicity while still being classy.
- It gives your bed a prominent and clean appearance in the bedroom.
Use Cotton Bed Linen
Cotton is the best material to use as bed lined because it can remain durable and soft despite the frequency of washing. It is absorbent and helps keep the colors intact- you do not have to worry about fading. Its versatile nature makes it look great in any furnishing that it comes in, from the bedsheets to towels, and pillow covers. Egyptian cotton, in particular, is the ideal choice for your five-star look bed.
Remove Clutter from Your Bedroom
Clutter anywhere is an eyesore and undesirable. Hotels do not achieve attractive looks for their bedrooms by adding things- instead, they remove them. Here are a few tips to observe while decluttering your bedroom:
- Keep all jewelry and other small items in trays or bowls to prevent them from spreading all over.
- Keep shoes, ties, socks in separate baskets.
- Have a laundry basket inside your bedroom to keep dirty clothes- chose a classy laundry basket. Get rid of shoes or clothes that you are no longer wearing even if it means donating them.
Iron-Press Your Bed Linen
Bed linens will look better and give your bed an organized look when you iron them. Ironing by itself goes a long way into adding into the sleek appearance despite the quality of any garment. If the ironing board is too small, use a table that you probably use for folding- make sure you cover the table as a protective measure against possible heat damage.
Choose a Sleek Mattress
You may have achieved everything else in an attempt to replicate a five-star experience in your bedroom, but it is not complete without a matching mattress. If you do not have one already, be prepared to invest in a suitable option. A perfect bed is no doubt luxurious and provides a “sinking” feeling, as if a calming cloud has engulfed you- this is a feeling that is necessary in giving adequate peaceful sleep. As such, a sleek mattress is beyond the appearance but also encompasses comfort.
If you already have a perfect mattress in place, ensure it always stays clean and removes it from dust. You can use a vacuum to suck up dust or stain removers. Remember also to take care of your feet- clean feet will help maintain the cleanliness, not only of your mattress, but also the sheets.
Tuck the Bottom Sheet around the Mattress Using Hospital Corners
Your bed needs a professional appearance to make it replicate the five-star look. Avoid using the fitted sheet and use larger ones that you can tuck around the mattress. Use a hospital corner to tuck it in tightly and ensure that you lay the top sheet upside down so that the top side will be the one, which is visible when you finally fold the top part. It is quite simple to make a hospital corner.
Use Quality Pillows
A beautiful-looking pillow arrangement reflects a level of coordination- apart from the classy appeal, it also gives you a comfortable feeling in your sleep and sturdy support. For beds that have headboards, it is easier to attain the ideal pillow arrangement style. The best option is to have four pillows.
Press the Pillows so They Can Stand
You need two pillows standing against the headboard. To make them stand on their own, press them with your hands until the thickness reduces to almost half the original size.
Get a Sleek Headboard to Improve the Look of Your Bed
Your bed does not need to have had a headboard, to begin with, but you can upgrade it with a quality headboard to enhance its appearance- this would save you the unnecessary cost of getting a new bed that may be too costly. You can get an upholstered headboard at less than $ 300 and fix it yourself on your bed, or have a contracted artisan do it for you.
Give Your Ceiling a Customized Touch of Paint
Consider having your ceiling color changed, especially if it is darker than the walls. The purpose of this is adding warmth and enhancing natural lighting in your bedroom- it is optional, though, primarily if the recommended conditions already exist.
Customize the Bedroom lighting
A dark bedroom is sometimes a turn-off, which is why five-star bedrooms have excellent lighting systems. Besides, you cannot perform other functions like dressing or scanning through a novel while relaxing with a poorly lit bedroom.
Adopt a recessed bedroom lighting system to have control over when and how to get what amount of light- the trick is to keep the lights balanced and enjoy a crispy-dimming effect when you need it. Properly arranged, recessed lights can light your bedroom in a balanced way. You may also choose to have a table lamp for your reading desk if you have one in your bedroom.
Do not forget to add Personal Items that Give You Joy
Have ornamental items, flowers, a sleek glass, and a drinking water container, among others that have a way of getting into your heart and arousing your joy. Your bedroom needs to reflect your personality- so feel free to give it a personalized look and feel.
Conclusion
Customizing your bedroom to look as sleek as a five-star hotel takes a lot of commitment and investment- you invest your money, ideas, and time into a process to achieve the desired design. However, it is not rocket science- when you get your hands into it, you can ultimately make it. You only need to be keenly attentive to detail, have an open mind, use the right materials, and of course, your personalized ideas, which together with the above guidelines will help make it possible.
