La-Z-Boy: hotel-inspired decor

One of the most decadently enjoyable parts of being a tourist is being able to savour and enjoy the stylish indulgence inherent in luxury hotels. Most of us are willing to sink our hard-earned cash into being granted the opportunity to experience such exquisite luxury, even if it is just for a few days – after all, you are on holiday, and you deserve it…

However, don’t you think that you deserve to experience this kind of sumptuous comfort on a daily basis – even if it is just in a small way? Claire Gibson, from La-Z-Boy, thinks that it is possible to achieve a lavish and luxurious lifestyle at home. These are her tips: Quality furniture and materials When decorating, always choose the best quality items that you can afford – it is better to have less, but the few items that you do have are high-end pieces. Items that you should never skimp on include flooring, beds and bedding, rugs, window dressing and seating. Choose a neutral colour palette The colour scheme must scream class and sophistication; lean towards a more neutral colour scheme. You can always add a pop of glamour by including a dash of metallic or more saturated tones Simplicity Always choose furniture that is sophisticated, timeless and plain, over pieces that are overly fussy and intricate. You can use pieces with clean, sophisticated lines to create a neutral and clean foundation, which you can spruce up using smaller pieces that can be easily swapped out as fashions and trends change. Rest areas Like a hotel room, your home should offer refuge from the stresses and strains of life. It is important to pay attention to rooms in your home where you relax and unwind: be sure to layer these areas with sumptuous materials that are inviting and comfortable. Lighting Include a layered lighting design in every room, where the lighting can be dimmed or made brighter, depending on the mood you are going for. Remember to regulate the temperature, appeal to all your senses, avoid clutter, bring nature into the space and think of creating recreational areas – dedicated to entertainment and relaxation.
