A boutique hotel-style interior brings the luxury of a five-star hotel into your home — think elegant details, rich materials and a warm, refined atmosphere. This look is all about luxury, comfort and symmetry, with high-quality finishes and timeless elegance. Velvet fabrics, marble accents, dark wood and gold-toned details are hallmarks of the style. How can you adapt this glamorous look for summer? In this article, we take you on an inspiring journey to transform your home into a luxurious boutique hotel-style oasis this summer.
What is boutique hotel interior style?
Boutique hotel style has been popular for years because of its exclusive look and indulgent feel. It takes its inspiration from the lobby of a boutique hotel: sumptuous fabrics, subtle shine and a harmonious colour palette. In summer, deep brown, burgundy and emerald green give way to lighter variations without losing their luxurious appeal.
Summer luxury: boutique hotel style for the season
How do you give a warm boutique hotel look a fresh summer twist? The key is to introduce light colours and airy elements while keeping the luxurious materials. Replace heavy winter curtains with lightweight curtains or linen sheers, choose accessories in light, neutral colours and add plants. Do not forget fragrance: choose a luxurious scented candle or reed diffuser from Meraki with a summery scent. This creates a treat for all the senses.
Boutique hotel accessories for a summer interior
An antique Leaves candle holder for glamour and ambience: nothing says boutique hotel style quite like reflected candlelight. A striking candle holder such as the Leaves candle holder by House Doctor makes a real focal point. Use a pair to create symmetry — on either side of a mirror, for example — and make the look even more elegant.
Warm LED light on summer evenings: the Mansion Atmosphere gold LED mood light 15x20cm is ideal for warm summer evenings indoors or out. Its cylindrical design and built-in LED candle look luxurious, while the gold colour adds a touch of glamour.
An elegant silver tray as a luxurious statement: choose a silver-coloured tray by Meraki as a practical yet stylish accessory. Arrange a few candles or summer decorations on it for an eye-catching display worthy of a hotel.
Chic brown tones: warm, natural elegance
For a warm, natural boutique hotel atmosphere, brown wooden trays such as this set of 2 Serve trays are another stylish choice. Use them as the base for arrangements of candles, shells or small accessories — perfect for a coffee table or console. Their rich colour and smooth finish bring calm and luxury to the room.
A vase with character and depth: add a sculptural touch to your boutique hotel setting with an antique brown vase such as the Flood vase. The glossy ceramic and deep, warm tones create a luxurious look. Fill it with large white flowers or pampas grass for an elegant contrast with a summery feel.
Soft cushions in a luxurious fabric for summer comfort: the cream Fort Erie decorative cushion by House of Nature has a stylish pleated pattern and is perfect for summer lounging on the sofa or in an armchair. Combine several cushions in light shades for a refined, comfortable look.
