Hotel chic

Hotel chic home accessories

Hotel chic home accessories add depth to a room with dark colours, gloss and soft textures. Think brass, glass, marble-effect finishes, black, brown, smoked glass and soft fabrics. This style works best when you choose accents deliberately. Too many small accessories quickly make the space feel busy, so prefer a few distinctive pieces that together create a calm, polished look.

Which hotel chic home accessories suit your space?

Start with the place where you want to create more ambience. A tray on the table, a table lamp beside the sofa or a candle holder on a cabinet may already be enough. Hotel chic is all about contrast. Combine dark with light, matt with gloss and soft fabrics with glass or metal.

• Choose colours such as black, dark brown, smoked glass, cream, gold, and brass.
• Use glass, metal, marble-effect finishes and soft textures sparingly.
• Repeat colours and materials in several places for greater cohesion.

Accessories that quickly add ambience

Table lamps, candle holders, scented candles, glassware, trays and decorative cushions fit this style well. A tray brings smaller accessories together and keeps the arrangement organised. A table lamp adds ambience, particularly in the evening. Glassware or a bowl adds shine to a dining table, coffee table or cabinet without taking up much space.

Combining hotel chic with other interior styles

Dark academia works well with hotel chic when you want the room to feel darker and more classic. Raw luxury is a good match when you want to combine shine with a stone-effect finish, a rough texture or dark metal. Choose one interior style as your foundation and use the other for a few accents. This keeps the room balanced.
