How to transform hotel bedrooms with a stylish spring refresh
With spring well on the way, now's perfect to create a welcoming hotel for guests. So, why not use this time to spruce up your hotel bedrooms for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience for all? Seasonal updates are important in the hospitality industry to ensure you meet high standards of cleanliness, comfort and pay every attention to detail.
Making the bed
Make your bedrooms more relaxing and add premium comfort by paying attention to the finer details on each bed, from mattress protectors and pillows to bed linen and blankets
Aesthetics will also be key in bedroom design and the best place to start is with the bed. This is the focal point in any hotel room and it deserves special care to give your guests the sleep they deserve. After all, this could affect repeat bookings, reviews of the room and the overall perception of your hotel. Firstly, think clean and comfortable - let's begin with the mattress.
Mattress comfort and protection
Make sure the mattresses in all of your bedrooms are cleaned properly and well maintained. Thoroughly air each mattress by removing old mattress covers for natural ventilation and vacuum. Turn and rotate them in each room if the manufacturer recommends this as this will help to evenly distribute the filling for long-lasting support and a relaxing stay for guests. All mattresses in the bedrooms should not be cleaned with water or steam however, as this deteriorates the stuffing and eventually causes it to decompose.
Protect each bed in every room
A cost-effective solution to maintain fresh and hygienic conditions for a hotel bed is with a high-quality mattress cover or encasement. These are good for all bedrooms to protect the mattress on each bed from bacteria, dust, bed bugs, stains and allergens. A mattress cover can also protect against wear and tear, which will ultimately extend the life of the bed. Simply replace the protector when you change the bedding in the room after every guest changeover to create a consistently high standard of cleanliness. We also recommend mattress protectors if you want to add a layer of comfort and a mattress topper will create a firmer bed.
Invest in pillow love
Pillows layer the look against the green headboard in this bedroom at the Brama Hotel in Bromley. They are encased in our 300TC Roma pillowcases, which feature bespoke embroidered stitching for a luxury finish
For guests to get the rest they deserve, a high-quality pillow will be paramount in their hotel room. Some hotels offer pillow menus so visitors can pick the support and firmness to suit their individual needs. This spring, why not consider pillow quantity in each room? In an elegant hotel setting with luxury furnishings, at least two pillows per person will help to enhance every guest's stay.
Protect your pillows
Again, as with the mattress, proper protection is essential. Pillow protectors will extend the pillow's lifespan and act as a barrier against allergens, dust mites, bacteria and sweat. As a result, this will mean less pillow replacements for each room and guests will enjoy a fresh, clean sleeping experience. Simply wash with every guest changeover - we recommend replacing protectors regularly to maintain their effectiveness.
Luxury linens that last
Our 300TC Brooklyn bed linen features a range of envelope hem duvet covers with matching pillowcases and flat sheets, as seen here in this luxury room at the The Great House Exmoor
If your bed linen looks and feels premium quality, then your guests will experience a more comfortable stay in their room. This is often why a luxury hotel bed feels so inviting. Sateen cotton sheets, for example, not only feel and look sumptuous, but become softer with every wash. A high thread count (200 or above) makes a great choice, as does durability to withstand regular machine washing.
Check your linens
Spring is ideal for a style refresh and expert quality control, so ask your team to look closely at bed linen in each room to check for grubby marks or signs of wear and tear. If replacements are needed, look for Egyptian cotton with a variety of hem finishes to suit your preferences and pick sustainably sourced fabric.
Adding the finishing touches to the bed
Layer your look with our Manhattan Supersoft Merino Lambswool Throws, which come in a variety of colours, for guests to enjoy a comfortable stay
In a hotel room, pristine, white bed linen offers a finishing touch with style and a practical element, too. However, a colourful blanket will complete the look, this style is on-trend in hotel interiors, and this will add an extra layer of comfort, too. At night, guests can pull a blanket over their bed linen or they can cocoon themselves in a throw to cosy up in their room with a hot chocolate, or in the hotel grounds, to enjoy garden views.
Our Lisbon Cotton Herringbone Blanket doubles up as a throw with an elegant hem stitch finish to lift the look and add versatility to any hotel room
Mat protection
Don't forget to invest in luggage mats for the bedrooms. It's well known that guests put their dirty suitcases on a bed in a hotel room, instead of a luggage rack to unpack. So, why not protect your bed linen and blankets in each room with a chic, cotton mat featuring embroidered stitching for a luxury finish?
Setting the mood
Lighting choice can add instant ambience to a room, so consider dimmable lights then guests can adjust levels of brightness and create their own relaxing atmosphere. A luxury hotel and its guests will benefit from smart features, which will control the room temperature and lighting, and you can add a level of style and cosiness every night with a soft glow from table lamps.

For homeowners, if you want to create the look of a hotel-style room, this is all about blending elements of comfort, thoughtful design and luxury. Hotel interiors tend to start with a neutral colour palette, so make sure bed linen is chic and white for a modern feel. You can add colour with painted walls, a colourful headboard, accent chairs in a bold fabric and patterned cushions plus a vibrant, cosy blanket to complete the look. Think spa-style luxury and add a couple of bath robes to visit the bathroom in style and comfort at night.
