This bedroom scheme looks every inch the hotel suite we all dream of, but if you take a closer look, you'll see that all the essentials are there too.

Make it work for two

Start with matching side tables and designate one for each of you. You can then add extra features like a 'his' corner space with comfy chair, and a 'hers' dressing space with a vanity table.

Get the right storage

Keep clothes and accessories at bay with a smart wardrobe and chest of drawers. Place a storage ottoman at the end of the bed for extra bedlinen and blankets/

Use de-luxe finishes

High-gloss furniture, a velvet carpet or tufted rugs, as well as linen and silk fabrics, all help to create that smart and decadent hotel feel.

Stylist's top tip

Keep the look balanced by positioning lamps, cushions and other accessories in pairs symmetrically either side of the bed.
