According to Zara O’Hare, interior designer at Land of Rugs, it’s not difficult to create that charm at home.
According to the expert, pillows are the secret to hotels making bedrooms feel more luxurious.
“Hotels have perfected the art of creating luxurious bedrooms and a key element is the generous use of cushions,” she tells Fabulous.
“The soft, fluffy pillows give the room a luxurious and relaxing feel.
“Put extra pillows in your bedroom.
Experiment with different sizes, shapes and textures to create a personal and luxurious retreat.
“Consider adding a throw pillow or two for a pop of color or pattern.”
Zara then explained how important the bed is as the focal point of any bedroom.
“The bed is the most important part of your bedroom and the first thing you can change to completely transform it is the headboard,” she says.
“Whether you opt for a sleek upholstered design, a vintage-inspired headboard or a modern minimalist piece, you should consider the style of your furniture and overall decor.
“This ensures that it complements the existing elements.”
“High-quality sheets are the next step in transforming your bed,” she adds.
“Investing in high-quality sheets is another essential step towards a more luxurious bedroom.

“Your center ceiling light is there to provide general lighting, but there’s nothing more boring than a few bulbs that only provide basic lighting,” she says.
“A well-lit bedroom can instantly improve the atmosphere and transform it from ordinary to extraordinary.
“You need to layer the lighting to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
“And the best way to do this is with beautiful lamps and dimmers, with which you can adjust the atmosphere to your own wishes.
“If you want something extra, a statement chandelier or pendant lights can add a touch of luxury to your bedroom and serve as both decorative and functional elements.”
