Rooms: How Luxury Up Your Room for a five star experience - It is not often guest rooms are deemed luxurious. Then we get busy with the most visible areas and well used to the house, the spare part is often an afterthought: a plonked bed in the middle, a decorating scheme to chance and the odds and ends of furniture do not naturally possess a house on the other.
Your guests will probably not mind - they will just happy to have a place to lay their heads after an appointment if necessary or catching celebration. But if you have your head on decorating and feel like treating your friends and family to a five star experience, why not imitate the look of a chic boutique hotel in your own home? Just updated with new bedding with Egyptian cotton sheets and luxurious velvet cushions, or go on a more permanent device such as a private bathroom. Before you know it, your guests will want to come back for more. Maybe it's time to start asking for advice ...

Choose a neutral palette
Some of the best boutique hotels equip their rooms in a neutral palette easy-on-the-eye. It is a classic look that remains timeless and will not need redecorating so early, but the blend effortlessly sand, buttermilk, dove gray and mink can also be laminated to remarkable effect, especially in a mix of rich fabrics and plush textures.
sumptuous, full length curtains, headboard and layers of silk, velvet and buttoned cotton are warm, inviting and opulent while the wall-to-wall carpet enhances the luxury factor little more.

Take a shine
Now this is a luxury, guests will love. By installing a fireplace in a bedroom, your visitors can hunker down for the night and the dream vacation in a rustic log cabin - even if they are smack bang in the middle of urban sprawl.
Choose an easy electrical or gas fire, which will be easier to install, use and clean as the real thing, and let the golden glow cast his magic.

Bathe in style
This must be the ultimate statement of luxury hotel. If you have the space and the expertise of designing, installing a freestanding bath in the bedroom and your guests will feel like they have not in a five star establishment.
Remember that cast iron bathtubs can be heavy, so why not opt for a modern day, the curvaceous design in a lightweight composite that is velvety and half the weight? Chuck in a bottle of champagne and you might not see your guests all night ...

Add a bathroom
It goes without saying that all top-notch charming hotel room requires a bathroom of its own. So (space permitting) emulate the look at home with a clean, modern bathroom, where guests can cool off whenever they want without interrupting the main household. If there is space, but only just, consider a compact wet room instead.
A simple glance Scandi style mixing open storage timber, neutral tiles and a large pool, white, as in this scheme is a sure-fire way to inject a timeless look in ablution daily. Do not forget to stock up white towels, also stacked rolls cared for a special extra touch.

Max out on a large bed
Surely one of the best aspects of staying in a top hotel (except breakfast for us) is to have the space to spreading, horizontal, if we wish, in a luxurious mammoth-size.
So, if you have the available area, buy the biggest bed you can find and your guests will love you forever (or just stay in bed for the rest of the day).

hang up a screen
Although I am not a big fan of a TV in the room, when I'm on vacation (even if it is only 50 miles down the road to the house of a friend ) I do not like lie and channel hop to my heart's content.
Try not to a TV, the focal point of a guest room, though, as it will change the overall feel of the space.
Mounting a flat screen TV on the wall helps keep the technology as unobtrusive as possible. You can also consider a drop-down screen and projector mini television, or invest in one of these smart gadgets TV-in-footboard, where the screen is miraculously rises from the bed base Now you see it, now you do not ...

Fit into a dressing table
Make sure your guests can prepare for a night in a relaxed, uninterrupted fashion by squeezing in a dressing table and stool . A three-way mirror will wear makeup properly invited to embellish without the inconvenience of propping a hand mirror on the windowsill or waiting for the bathroom to become free.
Dot dressing table with aromatherapy candles, pretty glass jars (filled with cotton) and trinket trays, but also ensure that you let your guests plenty of room to spread out their own lotions and potions.

Create storage sassy
provide some towels and a single rail to hang clothes is fine, but if you want the hotel - at-home tempo, then invest in the storage room customized to house all the clothes and shoes of your visitor.
A section of cloth may be stacked with clean, fresh towels and bath towels for guests, while the wardrobe can be used all year to store your own songs off season. Just move your clothes temporarily in another room in the house when you have confirmation of arrival dates.

Suspend a dress or two
It is unlikely that visitors will have space in their travel bags for a plush robe or dress snuggly room. So as a luxury treatment, have a pair of terry robes spare handy.
Plump for pure white robes in a few different sizes that can cater to all sizes and types (and remember to wash between customers!)
Now the only problem you might face is that you sleep enough fantasy in the spare yourself.
