12 Bedroom bliss
It doesn’t take a lot of imagination or effort to create a space that delivers a boutique hotel vibe for you or your lucky guests, 12 Bedroom bliss. WORDS: Kate Houghton
1. BEST OF BRITISH
Ercol has been nurturing the best in British design talent and craftsmanship since 1920. This gorgeous bed was inspired by a piece first created in 1956. The bright oak set against a dark background gives this mid-century modern collection a wholly contemporary boutique hotel vibe we just love. From £899, www.johnlewis.com
2. ECO SLEEP
We love a bit of clever thinking – and the new Smartdown® range from Nimbus has really got us smiling. With the warmth and sensation of the highest grade 100% Hungarian Goose down, yet made using recycled PET plastic bottles to create the softest, silkiest fibres, you really will sleep easy knowing you’re doing your bit for our planet. www.nimbusbedding.co.uk
3. Design inspiration
Boutique hotels eschew corporate sameness for a more unique and individual style. Here, using an extra wide headboard brings together the bed and the cabinets for a sleek, neat look with a definite shot of luxe. Maxwell Bed, from £1,020, www.livingitup.co.uk
4. DRIFT AWAY
When it comes to unlocking the secret to weightless-like sleep, it would appear that our European friends are ahead of the curve. A quarter of contemporary bed bases sold in Sweden, and a staggering 70% in the Netherlands, feature precise electronic adjustment. The Simba Adjustable Bed Base incorporates custom-engineered mechanisms to help achieve your optimum sleep position. From £1,790, simbasleep.com
5. A little bit lush
Luscious colour adds a luxe feel to a neutral space, and who can resist the allure of velvet? Keep the rest of the room fresh and minimal, but not stark. Choose soft tones to create a feeling of welcome, just like the very best New England beachside guest houses. Dumpling bed, from £945, www.loaf.com
6. DESIGNER STYLE
Definitely not one for the guest room, this is your luxury hotel moment every night. Constructed in walnut or burnt oak, with a headboard in leather or crocodile skin, it’s a truly beautiful piece of design and an heirloom in the making. Nelson bed, £4,815, www.chaplins.co.uk
7. KEEP IT NEAT
It’s rare that a guest room is spacious, so keeping décor simple is key to success. A minimal colour palette can have huge impact and a hint of sweet pastel lifts from stark to stylish. Hedonistic black bed, £698, www.frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk
8. SUPERB STORAGE
With its elegantly stylish winged headboard, the Horton Ottoman provides a huge storage space for keeping bed linen and other items stored out of sight. The slatted section of the bed can be easily lifted to give access to the storage space inside the bed. The bed comes with the choice of two sumptuous velvet colours to provide a perfect solution for your bedroom. From £974. www.danielstores.co.uk
9. DECORATIVE DETAIL
Clean lines and a softly curved decoratively detailed bed frame handmade in the UK to very high specifications. Presented in crushed velvet and a choice of other fabrics. Reading Bedding www.reading-bedding.co.uk 0118 321 5553
10. COUNTRY HOUSE GRANDEUR
A little bit of Downton never goes amiss. Guests will love their Princess and the Pea moment on this fabulously deep, handmade sprung mattress topped with a sumptuous blended latex pillow, while you’ll love the hidden space in the power-assisted divan base, making your spare room doubly useful. Willowford latex, www.rest-assured.co.uk
11. Sleep soundly
Each Silent Night Eco Comfort mattress is made up of 150 recycled plastic bottles. That means every year, Silentnight saves 110 million bottles from ending up in landfill or the oceans. And if this wasn’t enough, it’s a pretty darn good looking bed too. From £539, www.silentnight.co.uk
12. TUCKED UP
Why is it that the bed linen in high end hotels is always so dreamworthy? Perhaps because they invest in the very best, something we should consider for ourselves if a good night’s sleep is the result. Tielle Love Luxury is the sister company to Tradelinens, who have been supplying premium linen to the world’s leading 5 star hotels for over 30 years. This 600tc (thread count) linen is seriously smooth and luxurious, perfect for high end snoozing. From £169, www.tielleloveluxury.co.uk
