3 Top Tips for bringing
hotel style into a bathroom
1) Make some space
“Part of the appeal of a luxury hotel bathroom is that sense of space,” says Roselind. “A large, generous
bathroom will always feel more luxurious, so make sure you allocate as much square footage as you possibly
can to your bathroom to create a feeling of space and luxury.”2) Go for luxury
“Opt for an indulgent, freestanding bath for the ultimate in relaxing soaks,” says Roselind,
“and make sure you include his-and-hers basins to add a touch of hotel glamour.”3) High tech solutions
“Give your bathroom that hotel feel with embedded speakers and Bluetooth so that you can listen to your favourite
music and podcasts while in the bath or shower,” says Roselind. “It’s also worth thinking about other high-tech options such
as smart glass’ shower enclosures and room dividers that can turn from clear to frosted at the touch of a button.”and metallics can completely transform a space
and help create a truly individual look. “In
our experience,” says Roselind, “it’s the tactile
elements in a room such as a chunky woven rug
or a luxurious velvet cushion which are the ones
that make the greatest impact.”
Layered Lighting
We all know that lighting is an essential part of
creating that luxury hotel room experience. After
all, when you’re in a hotel bathroom in which the
lighting really works you certainly know about it
- nothing lifts the spirits like looking your best as
you’re getting ready!
For the bathroom of Roselind Wilson Design’s
Eaton Mews North project, the team placed great
emphasis on the lighting scheme and the way in
which it was controlled. “The circuits were split
to allow the spotlights to be operated separately
from the wall lights and under-counter lights,”
says Roselind. “And wall lights were introduced to
provide task lighting for applying make-up
or shaving.”
Lighting is also important in terms of setting
the mood and feel of an interior scheme. “This
is especially important in hospitality design in
which beautiful hotel rooms create mood and
atmosphere through a carefully considered
layered lighting scheme,” says Roselind. “Ambient
lighting can really help recreate that hotel feel.
To get it right, you should focus on two things:
what the light fixture looks like and the effect you
want the light to achieve. Lights that can adjust
and dim are ideal for the sleeping area, whereas a
bright table lamp is perfect for a desk area.”http://www.roselindwilsondesign.com
