2. Big up your bedside table
Any boutique hotel worth its weight will always have beautifully styled bedside tables flanking the bed, and doing this at home will instantly upgrade your bedroom. Not only are bedside tables practical for storing things you might need, like the novel you are currently reading, glasses, hand cream and birth control(!), they are also the perfect place to add a little style into your room.
A stylish bedside lamp is a must, not only because you need it for reading, but they can really add symmetry and style too. A few coffee table books, a lovely scented candle, and while you are at it, some fresh flowers too. You're worth it.

3. Upgrade your bed linens
Bedlinens form an essential part of the whole boutique hotel experience, and here I have once advice: Buy the best you can afford, and you will feel the difference.
Most luxurious hotels tend to opt for white linens, it looks serene and delicate and makes it easier to use other colours and accents in the room without it looking too busy. When it comes to material, Egyptian cotton is the best (and what all the nice hotels go for), and the thread count should be at least 300. This just means that the linens will feel incredibly soft and satin-y against your skin, and trust me, you want that feeling.
Once the linens are in place, use throws, bedspreads and cushions for adding a little colour and texture to your bed.
4. Think symmetry
If you think about any boutique hotels room you have been to, I am sure they will – most often – have featured symmetry. As in, two identical bedside tables, two of the same lamps, the same amount of decorative cushions on either side of the bed.
Symmetry is comfortable for our eyes, and it gives any room a very balanced and luxurious feel.

5. Splash out on something shiny
Subtly gleaming surfaces, especially in pale shades, add a little sophisticated glamour and is perfect for incorporating into your new, boutique hotel-style bedroom.
From polished chrome and glass to glossy satin and rich velvet, the materials in this room give it a super-luxurious feel.
