Staying at a small boutique hotel is on the indulgence experience list for many of us. It’s the longing for that experience of comfortable, recharging sleep, the luxurious feeling of the bedsheets on our skin, the wellness atmosphere of a special retreat.
Today’s interior styling inspires us to create a warm minimalism ’boutique hotel-style bedroom’ within our homes. It also shows us how to use one bold key color that elevates our emotions even if we are usually most comfortable with the subtle minimalist earthy or monochrome tones.
What makes a sleeping experience at home similar to the one we love at a boutique hotel? How do we create this atmosphere with less, in a warm minimalism style? These questions I’m constantly exploring and was something I considered closely when redesigning my own bedroom.
Color scheme – we all have heard that colors have a direct impact on our feelings, sensations, and mood. I used to feel only comfortable and relaxed surrounded by earthy or monochrome colors. This is what most people think minimalist or nordic style is about. What I discovered however is that there is a way to work with color for the bedroom design that uplifts our emotions without the visual overstimulation. By choosing a main subtle color such as grey, beige, white, muddy greens as a backdrop to the room we set a tone of calmness to the space.
Now it’s time to add one colour element. Scary? Take a look at different colours and ask yourself what one colour you feel drawn to and ask yourself why. Describe to yourself how this colour makes you feel. If the answers resembles the feeling you wish to have in your bedroom then you have found it. Challenge yourself to ask, again and again, you will start to eliminate the choices and will end up with one special for you at the moment colour.
Now that you have chosen the bedding colour, time to add just a few more accents in the same colour. We have talked about colours, furniture and decor accents so far. One last recommendation we can give you from the heart is – use only ecological, consciously made materials, fabrics for your bedroom. The feeling of wellbeing is then guaranteed!
