If there is one place where luxurious bedroom style and elegance is highly apparent, it would have to the Ritz-Carlton. If you do not want that luxury feeling from vacation to end, here are some easy guides to bring the décor right into your personal and everyday life.
Clean up your bedroom. With your post-vacation energy, take out everything in your bedroom that can be removed. Only a few of it will go back in. Clean well.
Think of the elements of a Ritz-Carlton room. Check out photos that feature it and take notice of the designer bedroom furniture used. Also consider these ideas.
Polished hardwood flooring
High quality oriental rugs
Elegant pieces of furniture, like the deep toned wooden 500 Series 5 Drawer Chest by Lifestyle Solutions
Matching bedside tables like the Jane Nightstand – Pair of 2 by Mod Loft with delicate lamps
A luxurious club chair
Matching prints or anything suggestion of vacation time or old wealth. Just make sure that you frame them properly so they do not look cheap
Electronic equipment that is well hidden but easily accessible
Writing desk and chair
Mini bar fridge
Neutral walls
Choose sumptuous bed linens. If you do not have the budget for a luxurious bedroom set like the Summerfield 5 Piece Full Bedroom Set by Powell, get yourself luxurious bed linens instead.
Get a high thread count cotton sheet set with at least a 200 count. The rich softness of these sheets will all be worth the cost.
Roll pillows, European pillows, square pillows, and bolster cushions, guided by good taste and elegance
Get a duvet and duvet cover as large and fluffy as you can afford. Down comforters work well, as with substitute comforters for people with allergies.
Assess the things you took out. Following the checklist above, make decisions on what you think carries that “hotel room character”. What looks elegant, chic and simple all at once? Keep these things. Also sort out your knick knacks.
Avoid eclectic and clashing styles. Go with neutral color schemes like golds, beiges, bones and creams. You can also enliven with deep green, deep blues and maroon accents.
Treat your room to fresh flowers. Do so weekly if possible. This should add color and live to your bedroom.
In place of prints, try getting prints made up of your real stay in the Ritz-Carlton. Get them framed and hang them around your room. Make sure that you recycle the items that you have decided to no longer keep after your bedroom revamp.
