Staycation at home

A home that is done up like a hotel is the ultimate staycation — and you do not have to worry about bookings, check-in/check-out times or whether you can get a room during the holiday season. More designers are adopting the homeaway-from-home concept for hotels to make them cosier and more welcoming. On the other hand, hotel-inspired homes are gaining popularity in the interior design world as they exude an understated luxury and comfort in terms of details and furnishing. The best part about designing your home like an elegant hotel room is that it does not require an extravagant budget. Here are five types of homes for those who need inspiration.

Stark sophistication
A vanity section serves as a divider between the wardrobe and sleeping area. Strategically placed mirrors help make a room appear larger, while black lines give it a well-defined look.

Modern minimalist
A minimalist design and colour palette will help create a tranquil effect in your bedroom. Create a peaceful ambience with basic furnishings and a grey-meets-wood décor.

Chic and sleek
Keeping it sleek and streamlined — just like what you would expect in many luxurious hotels — creates the perfect oasis of calm for a master bathroom. Scented candles and warm downlights complete the picture.
