Makes us want to hang around the room all day
After two years of on-and-off lockdowns, the wanderlust is real. While vaccine rollouts have made short adventures around the country slightly safer, not everybody is prepared for staycations (let alone far-flung vacations) just yet. And so the most effective way to satiate that desire is by transforming the house to feel like that of a hotel. We don’t mean big refurbishments that cost a fortune, small adjustments like a change of bedding do the trick. Here, we come prepared with five simple things that will instantly give your bedroom the hotel ambiance you desire.
The Bedding
Most people would probably agree that bedsheets are the main highlight of a hotel room. And so, mimicking that, we brought in Primeo’s Premium King Duvet. There’s a list of great things to say about the sheets, but to sum it up in a few words, it is hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, fade resistant, and very absorbent. Furthermore, it’s white, making a great blank canvas for all your colorful throws and cushions.
The Pillows
If we were supposed to sleep on our problems and deal with them tomorrow, then it only makes sense that we have pillows that can instantly whisk us away to slumberland. Being the epitome of comfort, GOURDOS’ Hotel Atelier pillows naturally become the first choice. They’re hypo-allergenic, made from 100% combed cotton, and filled with polyester microfiber — a.k.a the perfect headrest for years to come.
The Curtains
Right, one detail that contributed to your fantastic sleep at hotels has got to be the curtains. The closest we can get, if not better, is Home de Luxe’s 100% Blackout Silky drapes. Providing not just the dimness you need for rest, they block out harmful UV rays as well. In case you need the extra protection when working from home, these dual-layer ones do a fantastic job. Oh, hypoallergenic too.
The Scent
It’s not just what you see, what you smell greatly affects the way how you feel. Like how lavender essential oils calm you down at the spa or sandalwood exudes bougie vibes at the hotel, your room needs a bespoke scent. While it’s entirely up to your preference to decide on the aroma, know that Maison Berger’s chocolate one is a failproof winner. After all, chocolates are the best kind of pick-me-ups, they always lift the mood.
The Lighting
The luminescence of ceiling lights has never been easy to control. It’s either you have them all in the room turned on or off. Though, this affordable option by Retail Therapy PH lets you get behind the wheel to better set the mood. Also making a great centerpiece for the room, this table lamp garners considerable attention via its gilded hollow stand with flower cutouts — frivolous yet low key at the same time.
Far-flung vacations can wait. Now we can just make do with a bedroom that’s emitting hotel vibes. And before you can achieve that, hop on over to ZALORA Philippines to shop for the right home decor.
