Focus on the bed’s first impression

For a revamp that can be as impactful as repainting, switch duvet cover sets to a different pattern, colour or material. Many duvet cover sets are made of blended materials. Cotton blended with lyocell or viscose offers a soft, silky feel and extra durability. Polyester blends are easy to care for and wrinkle free.

Enhance the room’s comfort appeal

Lots of layers and textures creates a luxurious look and feel. Think coordination or a new combination as part of your hotel room decoration ideas.

 

  • If you’ve changed the duvet covers and pillowcases, be sure the existing cushions and bedspreads match.
  • If you didn’t swap out the duvets, consider updating or adding cushion covers, bedspreads or throws.

Play with the decor

Decorative objects – trays, vases, bowls, plants, artwork, coasters, glassware – accentuate a hotel room’s style and feeling of quality. What signal do you want the decor to send? Calm, natural touches? Modern, lively metals? Make small or big displays. Just aim for curated (and easy to clean), not cluttered.

Switch out a lamp or two

Unplug. Plug. That’s an easy hotel room renovation! Lighting is an almost instant game changer for a room’s look, feel and function. Whether a work lamp, table lamp or floor lamp, lighting effortlessly reflects your hotel’s style. Playful, minimalist, romantic, industrial, sophisticated. Every lamp has a personality.

Assess the window treatments

First, check that curtains or blinds are functional. Do guests need to make the room darker or more private? Are block-out curtains still doing their job?

Next, consider the window treatments in relation to the bedding. Do they match or complement each other? If the bedding is a solid colour, would patterned curtains liven things up? Vice versa?
