Home improvement projects are fun because you get to change up the decor in your home to give it a different look and feel. Here are a few ways that you can make your home look and feel like a luxury hotel.
Renovations
Renovations are cosmetic changes that you make to your home. Although many luxury hotels have a living room area, the bedroom and bathroom areas are more of the focal point.
Bathroom
When it comes to a luxury bathroom, the number one thing you’ll want to focus on is your shower/tub. For even more luxury (and if it’s within your budget), you’ll want to upgrade both your bathtub and your shower. Many luxury hotels have these two as separate: a walk-in shower and a huge bathtub perfect for soaking. You can also upgrade to a smart toilet and update your vanity as well.
Doors and Windows
Another key component of a luxury hotel is the large windows, and there’s nothing more luxurious than having floor-to-ceiling windows in your home. Switching the windows in your bedroom (or whichever room you choose) to floor-to-ceiling windows is considered a remodel rather than a renovation because this may require a structural change to your home rather than a simple cosmetic change. You’ll need to hire a professional to get floor-to-ceiling windows in your home.
You can also have sliding glass doors installed in your bedroom, living room, or wherever makes the most sense for your home. These door and window upgrades are a little more on the pricey side, but it’s worth it if it’s within your budget!
Furniture
Sometimes you can find the most comfortable furniture in a luxury hotel, and other times you’ll find not-so-comfortable furniture. When it comes to your home, you’ll want to invest in the most comfortable furniture (and furniture accessories) you can find, especially when it comes to your bed.
For your bed, you’ll want to choose a mattress based on your sleeping position or what your doctor/chiropractor recommends for you. Everyone has a different idea when it comes to a comfortable bed, whether it’s a firm mattress, a soft mattress, or somewhere in between. Invest in the type of mattress that’s most comfortable for you to have the most comfortable sleep.
A luxurious bed doesn’t stop at your mattress— you also need luxurious bedding for comfort and a good night’s sleep. Invest in the best linens and cotton sheets, and you should also invest in some good pillows.
Decor
Hotels, both luxury and otherwise, are known for their decor. Of course, different hotels have different interior design styles (and, therefore, different decor styles), but they all have a few decor elements in common that you can add to your home to give it a more luxurious feel.
Art
The majority of hotels (of all types) have artwork hanging on the walls, whether it’s abstract or realistic. You can find inexpensive artwork at any crafts store, or you can make your own art to display in your home. For the ultimate touch of luxury, you can invest in artwork by famous artists.
Curtains
Curtains in hotels aren’t like the average home curtains. They’re usually thicker, and they’re much longer than residential curtains. Hotel curtains are also wall-mounted curtains and slide back and forth much easier. You’ll want these types of curtains if you opt for the floor to ceiling windows.
Lighting
Hotels typically have fancy lighting fixtures, and updating yours can give your home a more luxurious look. Choose chandeliers or other hanging light fixtures and install a dimmer to control the intensity of the lights. You can also install wall lights over or on either side of your bed to get the feel of a luxury hotel.
Plants
Not all hotels have plants in the rooms, but many do in the lobby area. Add large plants to your living room, bedroom, and other rooms to create this luxurious look. If you have the time to devote to taking care of real plants, go ahead and choose these over artificial plants because they also provide mental and physical health benefits. On the other hand, you’ll want to stick to artificial plants if you don’t have the time to avoid having your plants die.
These improvements can make your home look and feel like a luxury hotel, so choose whatever’s in your budget. Also, keep in mind that you don’t have to have all of these upgrades at one time. Gradually incorporate all of these to create your luxury home.
