Want to add a little luxury to your living spaces for the New Year?
There’s nothing better than spending a long weekend in a stylish boutique hotel, enjoying the decor with a touch of luxury – from fine fabrics and elegant furniture to thick bath towels and Egyptian cotton sheets. So, here’s our guide to giving your home a boutique look, ensuring you can enjoy five stars all year round. Unfortunately, room service is not included.
Use a checkered color palette
The lost poet
From the gold and green of the Chiltern Firehouse to the burgundy and blue of Zetter Townhouse, all London boutique hotels have one thing in common: strong color choices. As a shortcut to the home’s cozy, intimate spaces, use rich, choppy shades on your walls, like midnight blue and forest green, both of which pair well with dark woods. Then, keep it contemporary with flashes of white, whether it’s with fresh white linens in the bedroom, white towels in the bathroom or a white patterned chair in the living room.
Add vintage-inspired furniture
Nothing says magic like the 1920s. We love the Swoon Lobby Sofa from DFS, which is filled with Art Deco details, from the elegant scalloped backrest to the elegant support cushions. With a choice of 10 velvet finishes, including Midnight, Teal, Forest Green and Aubergine, it can be lifted straight from Wes Anderson’s film collection. If you prefer something a little more relaxed, check out the Webb sofa, which marks the line between mid-century elegance and modern loft living. With wide armrests, padded backrest and a rich wood base, it exudes luxury and comfort.
Combine brass and marble accents

Sprinkle some extra boutique charm with flashes of brass and marble. The clean, crisp surface of the marble works perfectly with the warm copper finishes for a sense of modern luxury and luxury. Both antique and brushed brass look great in any room. Get the look with gilded lamps and mirrors in your living quarters, or brass fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom. Instead, go bold with a pretty gold sideboard or elegant marble and copper coffee table.
Go to the extreme with fabric and print
Firmdale Hotels
Five-star hotels don’t skimp on their prints and textures, so get ready to take a tougher approach. The trend is exemplified by bold pattern, such as floral, geometric and animal print, used across wallpaper (especially effective in bathrooms against marble tiles), as well as curtains and pillows. Next, layer in luxury with velvet upholstery, faux-fur throws and soft washed rugs, all designed to encourage you to leave your worries at the door.
Create instant sparkle with a bar cart

Each boutique hotel comes with a well-stocked self-service bar. To recreate the same level of indulgence for home entertainment, invest in vintage mad MenInspirational bar cart. Decorate it by pairing your favorite spirits bottles with mismatched glassware, including decanters, mugs, and cocktail glasses. Then add pops of color with a vegetable vase or vase filled with flowers, a bowl of lemons and limes to use as garnishes, a cutting board, and a small squeezer. A neat stack of books is another elegant way to fill any empty space on the shelf.
Finish the personal touch
Artist Residence Hotels
Boutique hotels are all about bespoke interiors, so add some extra personality with the help of coordinating wall art, custom headboards, table lamps, and decorative shades. Another easy way to create warm and inviting interiors is with your favorite scents. Whether you invest in a diffuser and fill it with delicious oils, or prefer scented candlelight, the heavenly scent is a five-star essential.
