Make Your Home Feel As Nice As A Hotel

Close your eyes and imagine a stunning luxury hotel room—the impeccably made bed, the gorgeous flower arrangements, the way everything seems ideally placed within easy reach—and feel your mind and body instantly relax. We consulted experts from properties around the globe for advice on how to bring a bit of that hotel magic into your own home so every night can feel like a vacation.

INSPIRATION

CALDERA HOUSE

TETON VILLAGE, WYOMING

You’ll find a fresh take on American West style at this small, eight-suite hotel near Jackson Hole. Timber wall panels, stone fireplaces, and textured rugs give the interior some outdoorsy charm.

MIX AND MATCH

Introduce natural elements, like a shearling rug and weathered wood furnishings, to make the space cozy. Even if the color palette remains neutral, the atmosphere is warm.

TO BUY: Sheepskin Throw, from $95; the-citizenry.com.

ADD VISUAL APPEAL

The hotel’s designer, Sarah Kennedy, accessorized streamlined furniture with patterned textiles, including pillows, rugs, and drapery. This created a balance of sophisticated and playful.

TO BUY: Plum Plaid Pillow, $88; schoolhouse.com.

KEEP IT TIDY

The simplest way to capture the serenity of a luxe, minimalist hotel room is one that’s often overlooked: Don’t leave your stuff scattered everywhere. Place a jewelry box on your dresser to collect loose items and tuck your laundry basket into a closet.
