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

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.

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
