Easy Decor Tips For A Resort-Style Bedroom Sanctuary

Here are five easy, inexpensive ways to recreate that Maldives or Bali feel in your own sleeping space – product ideas included!

August 16, 2016

If you love the idea of lounging on a villa in the Maldives or Bali, getting a much needed city detox, why not bring that feeling into your living space too? To be surrounded by nature is a luxury for city-dwellers, but it is not impossible to recreate this environment in your home. According to Anthony Lark of beachfront resort Trisara Phuket, three important features make up the experience of a villa bedroom: stunning views, privacy, and spaciousness.

“Imagine your home as part of a garden. Your bed should face a view and the interior should be simple; don’t let it distract you from the surrounding environment,” he says.

Not in a home surrounded by nature? Bring nature indoors. Susan Colley and Marco Scarani, interior designers of the Nihiwatu resort in Indonesia, suggest using materials such as rope, woven fabric and wood.

“The authenticity of artisanal accessories such as handmade baskets and traditional ikat prints will also add character,” they advise.

As villa bedrooms are often spacious and uncluttered, be careful not to overdo the accessories, and choose items with similar hues and details to unify the look. Now, find out 5 ways to turn your bedroom into a relaxing haven:

Easy Decor Tips For A Resort-Style Bedroom Sanctuary
1. Bring in the colours of nature

You can bring the outdoors in by using colours inspired by the landscape; Nihiwatu uses terracotta-hues, greens and blues. Ikat or tribal prints on artisanal linen are used as decorative elements in this guest room in Nihiwatu. The designers kept the use of colours to a minimum for a fresh look.

2. Soft, muted furnishings help create a quiet space

This room in Phum Baitang, a resort in Cambodia, maintains a rustic and organic look with woven rugs, a wooden headboard, and a neutral colour scheme.

To create a sense of privacy and tranquillity, Geraldine Dohogne of the resort says that they focus on features that ensure total relaxation. This includes quiet air-conditioning, dimmers to create various atmospheres throughout the day (though natural lighting is still the best option) and a firm and thick mattress with quality linen.

3. Incorporate natural materials

You might not have an outdoor bedroom like the one in this Nihiwatu guest room, but you can steal the idea of its bamboo structures! Natural materials are another way to bring the outdoor in for that weathered, rustic look.

4. Scents complete the space

Whether it’s a floral aroma – Trisara offers hints of jasmine and lemongrass through its soap and shampoos – or something “spicy”, such as Phum Baitang’s bespoke sandalwood-grapefruit-clove concoction, fragrance your room with its own signature scent!

5. Don't forget the bathroom

In Trisara Phuket, the designers extended the elements of nature, such as plants and wood, into the bathrooms. They opted for a dark brown and white colour scheme, in the form of teak furniture and white orchids.
