Do you love the style of lavish hotel rooms and boutiques? You can create the same look right in your home. This is easier to do than you might think. With a little lighting and plumping of the bed, you’ll have a sophisticated, yet simplistic room in no time.

Let’s start with the bed, as that will provide the most comfort. Don’t skimp on sheets - go for the 400-thread count or even higher.

After you’ve got some elegant sheets on the bed, splurge on big, fluffy pillows in elegant colors. This will not only liven up the appearance of your room, but will also provide you with added comfort. You may want to add extra padding to your bed as well.

Many people think that extravagant window treatments are necessary, but this really isn’t the case. If you don’t want to put a valance across the window, don’t. It’s your room and simplicity can be very elegant.

Matching heavy curtains and coordinating sheer curtains are both functional and beautiful. Look for curtains that match the style of your new room.

The heavier curtains will block out more light. This can be very luxurious on a lazy Sunday morning. It’s also very helpful for anyone who works nights and must sleep during the day. But by opening the heavy curtains and using only the sheer curtains, you can allow sunlight to come through. If you have a desk in your office or just like to enjoy your bedroom when you aren’t sleeping, you’ll appreciate this. Try relaxing in your new room with a book on a sunny day.

The elegance of a hotel suite is not reserved for those who travel frequently or have the budget for extravagant vacations. You can create your own luxurious bedroom that suits your own style. The most important guidelines are to stay simple with colors and have a plush and fluffy bed. Ahhh - now go relax in your new elegant room!
