Hotel Chique Living Room: Everything About This Interior Style

What is hotel chic?

With interior styles like industrial, modern, and rural, you often know what’s meant, but Hotel Chic is relatively newer. We can understand if you’ve heard the name but aren’t exactly sure what this style entails. As the name suggests, this style is inspired by the more elegant and stylish hotels. It exudes class and luxury, but that doesn’t mean it’s an overly expensive style. With your creativity and attention to detail, you can certainly create a Hotel Chic atmosphere in your home. In short, Hotel Chic is a luxurious design style that incorporates rich materials, warm colors, and a strong focus on details that complete the look.

Hotel Chique Interior in 5 Steps

Now that you know what hotel chique is, it's time to come up with an idea for your own living room. Inspiration is, of course, key, and our experts are happy to help. How do you create a hotel chique living room from scratch? Especially in the case of a complete makeover or a move, it can be difficult to know where to start. Below, we’ve outlined 5 steps that will help you easily create a hotel chique interior. Take a look at each step and discover your preferences, slowly developing your own style and hotel chique living room!

Step 1: Hotel Chique Colors

Once you know which colors work well within a hotel chique interior, you're already halfway there! The great advantage of the hotel chique color palette is its flexibility. In short, there’s plenty of room for variation, and you’re not limited to just a handful of colors. Hotel chique is primarily known for warm, rich colors like dark green, burgundy, and emerald green. We also often see gold accents and more neutral shades like gray and cream. Tip: order a fabric sample in a hotel chique color and see at home if it really suits you. Additionally, don’t just focus on the main pieces of furniture in your living room. Accessories offer a smart way to incorporate different colors. For example, what about luxurious lighting?

Step 2: Hotel Chique Materials

Can you already imagine yourself sitting at that robust rectangular dining table in a hotel chique kitchen? And do you have a dark blue sofa in mind that will become the focal point of your living room? Then you're already well on your way! However, it's also smart to keep the materials of your new furniture in mind. Some materials are just a better fit for hotel chique than others. For a luxurious look, we quickly turn to ceramics for tables, for example. A ceramic coffee table exudes class without sacrificing practicality. Ceramic is less fragile than marble and can handle a bump or two. Plus, it's easy to clean. There's one material, though, that truly embodies hotel chique, and that’s velvet. You can incorporate velvet in many ways—whether it’s on your seating or as part of your accessories. You can go as big or as subtle as you like. True velvet lovers don’t shy away from upholstering a large sofa in velvet, while others may opt for a more understated approach.

Step 3: Hotel Chique Accessories

Accessories, of course. You can take almost anything and give it a hotel chique twist. The most obvious elements in your living and dining areas are items like a rug, a small table, or a side table. Perfection is also in the details, so think carefully about the accessories in your hotel chique decor. A few candles in the perfect color, a nice item on the windowsill, or a bouquet of flowers in various colors that match your palette: these are all opportunities to complete the look and subtly bring back certain colors, which is exactly what we recommend. Top off the look with the right accessories and truly complete your interior.

Step 4: Hotel Chique Wallpaper

It's not a strict requirement, but what stands out in a hotel chique living room is that wallpaper is often used to bring certain colors and patterns into the space. Nowadays, classic wallpaper is less common in our living rooms, but we still want to mention it as a tip. We don’t sell matching wallpaper ourselves, but you can opt to make wallpaper part of your color palette by incorporating one or more of your chosen colors into the design.

Step 5: Get Inspired and Seek Advice

If by steps 1 to 4, you have a pretty clear idea of what you want to do, it's time to make some decisions. This works best when you really know what’s possible. Inspiration and advice are key here. Browse various mood boards on Pinterest and flip through magazines to get a good visual of your ideas. If you’re further along and want to purchase hotel chique furniture, we’re happy to help.
