9 Easy Ways to Make Your Bedroom Look More Luxurious

Transform your space into one that exudes elegance and comfort.

If you've ever experienced a stay at a luxury hotel, you'll know the bliss that is getting tucked into their cloud-like beds and indulging in the unbeatable level of comfort and attention to detail. Recreating that 5-star hotel feeling at home is possible, and it doesn't have to break the bank!

Bedrooms are where the magic happens. And by that, we mean they're the space where we can escape the daily hustle and bustle, relax, and recharge for the next day. So why wouldn't you want to make it a luxurious room to be in?

If you want to elevate the amount of luxe in your bedroom, follow the below tips that will help create a space fit for royalty – because you deserve nothing less.

1. Keep it simple

Luxury doesn't mean over the top. Keep ‘refined simplicity’ at the forefront of your mind and opt for subdued colour palettes and sustainable, natural materials with a luxurious quality such as linen, marble, and timber.

2. Play with lighting

Lighting is a powerful tool in interior design. It makes a huge difference in the ambience of a room. Don't rely on harsh downlighting – opt for soft, warm lighting from table lamps and floor lamps to create a cosy atmosphere.

3. Add layers

Whether it's a Throw or Quilted Bed Cover, layers bring richness and comfort to a room. Pick a tone a shade lighter or darker than your existing linen to help create depth and keep things sophisticated.

4. Pay attention to the details

Don't forget the small decorative elements that add a touch of luxury, such as a decorative tray, fresh flowers in a chic vase, or an elegant candle – scent also plays a huge role in making a space feel inviting to be in! These finishing touches can elevate the overall aesthetic of the room.

5. Upsize your duvet

Did you know most beds featured in magazines or on Instagram are shot with an oversized duvet? This is one of our favourite bed styling tricks and an easy way to add a luxurious feel to your bedroom. This allows the duvet to hang over the edge of the bed, or even fall to the floor, making the bed look bigger than it actually is.

So, if you have a double bed, consider buying a Queen duvet and duvet cover. If you have a Queen, purchase a King duvet and duvet cover. (Hint: these options are available with our bedding sets.)

6. Keep your space clutter-free

This tip is great because it won't cost you anything.

Nothing cheapens the look of a room faster than disorganisation and clutter. Ensuring you have a clean and organised space will help your bedroom appear calm and open.

This includes your nightstand – that classic spot where all kinds of things get piled up.

7. Check your window treatments

Daggy curtains adorning your bedroom? It might be time to dress your windows for success and replace them with some chic floor-to-ceiling sheers! Curtains have the potential to make or break the look of a room so opting for a stylish, clean design will do wonders for your space.

8. Use plush pillows

If you've ever properly looked at nice hotel beds, they're always fitted with delightfully plush pillows that make the bed look comfortable and luxurious. Old, flat pillows look uninviting, so opting for a fresh, fluffy set will add that subtle luxe effect – your neck will thank you as well!

9. Keep it symmetrical

Symmetry is an essential foundation for sophisticated design, so try and keep your bedroom layout symmetrical for a sense of order, harmony, and opulence. If you can have two side tables and two lamps or sconces then do so.
