Bringing Hotel Luxury Home
by Natasha Christou Digital Marketing ConsultantIt’s fair to say that by now, all of us are
yearning for the smell of freshly washed pressed Egyptian cotton feather filled
pillows, cotton bed sheets, and some high-quality room service
Well, you are by no means alone with this.
When lockdown was announced on March 23rd, the luxury of hotel
visits was taken away. There aren’t many better feelings in life than packing
up our suitcases and heading away for a hotel break, even if it’s just for one
night.
On average, us Brits spend around 10 months
asleep in hotel rooms throughout our adult life, forking out £62,000 to do so.
To say we love our hotel experiences would be an understatement.
Since now hotel rooms remain vacant and
spas are out of use, Royal Station,
along with the Angel Hotel,
have put together a guide on how to continue the hotel lifestyle but from the
comfort of your own home.
Hotel Standard Bedrooms
Although the pool and food service might be
admirable, the ultimate success of the hotel all relies on the quality of the
bedroom.
A well decorated bedside table can be
utilised perfectly, transforming your bedroom from a measly five and a half
into a solid nine. Furthermore, you don’t have to spend a fortune to create a
divine ambience.
To transform your bedroom from a measly
five and a half into a solid nine, a vase with fresh, colourful flowers will
not only provide a beautiful aroma, but also brighten up your setting too.
Flowers with a high pollen count such as lilies, however, are best avoided.
Instead, opt for garden roses or hyacinths, flora which projects subtle scents.
Instead, swap the flowers for a
slow-burning candle if flowers aren’t quite your style. We recommend using a
gentle scented alternative, with some citrus and floral scents becoming
slightly overbearing. As for the sheets, you’ll need a top-quality crisp cotton
percale.
Ironed with DIY linen spray that can be
made easy with a few splashes of vodka and some essential oils after having
freshly washed and pressed sheets, can help you get an amazing nights sleep.
Implementing the triple sheeting technique is also recommended, which hotels
use all around the globe. By using two high quality sheets and a soft blanket
to top, you can achieve that crisp, clean feel that hotel room beds create so
well.
After your long soak in the tub, add a
cherry on top of the cake by selecting your favourite magazines to place on top
of the dressing table to peruse afterwards.
Stunning Spa Bathrooms
For many of us, Spas are the main reason we
visit hotels. What a glorious feeling it is to emerge from a jacuzzi and be
able to relax with a glass of prosecco in your thick white bath robe — second
to none, eh?
Although you might not be able to do the
exact same at home, you can still make use of the tub you have at your
disposal.
The first port of call should be a spotless
clean. Once the bathroom is glistening you need to turn your attention to the
various products that’ll be enough to allow your mind to float off to times of
tranquillity.
To help take you back to your special
place, muscle soak for the bath and lavender scents are certainly a starting
point. Turn your phone onto airplane mode and relax with your favourite music.
Transforming Your Garden
Although it is unlikely you will have acres
of free land to roam in, you can still make the most of what you have and
transform your outdoor area into something Alan Titchmarsh would be proud of.
By purchasing a cheap set of deck chairs and an outdoor dining table, lighting
the barbecue and dusting down the cocktail shaker, you can truly embrace the
sense of hotel luxury.
To add the colour necessary to replicate
the botanical garden style typically found in hotels, purchasing a few plants
from your nearest supermarket can add exactly that. Shut your eyes, embrace in
the sunshine (if there is any), and you could easily forget that you aren’t in
fact sat at home.
Whose to say you can’t enjoy yourself just
because lockdown is preventing you from a night’s stay at your favourite hotel
or lodge? Follow these simple tips from Cairn and you’ll fill a void left empty
and in no time you’ll be back basking in that all-important pampering!
