make your home like a hotel

With an MD who used to run famous design boutique Svenskt Tenn, and a hotel manager with an interiors background, its hardly surprising that the rooms at Berns Hotel in Stockholm are the very definition of Scandi chic.
You cant actually buy products from the hotel itself (with the exception of their Egyptian cotton bed sheets, available in the inhouse shop from SEK 1,295), but should you take a shine to a sofa or a liking to a particular light, theyll happily point you in the direction of the relevant store, so you can go and pick up one for yourself.

Keeping your walls, flooring and furniture neutral, brighten up your room with bedding in a graphic design and bright color. Take a collected approach to your linen closet and go for bed sets in different colors to rotate through all year long.

Give your bedroom the personality of a boutique hotel by layering on decorative pillows in a limited color palette, but play with various textures and patterns. Time to layer on luxury.

Playing in a single color family can give your bedroom the Zenlike ambiance of a fivestar contemporary hotel. Choose a neutral like this silvery mint, and keep it interesting with as many shades and materials as your space can handle.
