Get the Look: Boutique Hotel at Home

From elegant hues to lavish fabrics, here we give you a few ideas to help transform your home into a place you’ll never want to check out of…

Furniture – the beauty of this decorative look lies in combining classic furniture with tantalising textiles. Chesterfield armchairs and crushed velvet sofas are indicative, however, if you’re looking to incorporate accents to existing pieces, throws and cushions can bring the essence of the style with ease and comfort.
Colours and patterns – deep, rich palettes are at the heart of this look; promoting timeless elegance and intimacy. Look to your favourite shade, opting for a hue or two darker. If you have enough wall space, create the feeling of elegance by pairing your colour scheme with a stylised wallpaper, like Zoffany’s Ebru pictured below.

  

Lighting – setting the right ambience is imperative and lighting plays a key role in adding substance to the overall décor scheme. From matching side lamps that offer softer lighting to crystal cut chandelier shades which subtly manoeuvre light around a room, it’s always important to consider the demands of your room and design the lighting accordingly.


Accessories – be selective with room accessories. Attention to detail is important, so keep to only a handful of attractive, artful pieces. Cut-glass and mirrored photo frames, candle holders and decorative collectables will add exquisite touches of glamour. Or if you’re wanting to make a statement, a large wall-hanging or appropriately sized sculpture make perfect focal points.

Whether you have a large or compact space, the beauty of this style is its malleability to suit your home and individual taste. If you’d like more boutique design inspiration, check out our dedicated Pin board or share your design ideas with us on Facebook and Instagram.
