Bring top hotel decor trends back home

Luxurious design ideas give home a vacation from ordinary

- By Meghan Rooney Domaine

Thankstoso­cialmedia,we’renow able to travel the world with a few scrolls through an Instagram feed — vicariousl­y, of course. And when it comes to styling, luxury resorts and eclectic boutique accommodat­ions have become more than just a place to stay but more of an aspiration­al lifestyle.

To help incorporat­e the luxurious designs of some of the most popular hotels and resorts popping up on your social screens, we’ve enlisted the help of designer Liubasha Rose of Rose

Ink Workshop to introduce us to the current trends that can easily translate to the home. Her resume speaks for itself: Rose is the designer behind the insanely chic 1 Hotel South Beach inmiamiasw­ellasthere­designof swoon-worthy The Riviera in Palm Springs, California. To say she knows a thing or two about how to nail down luxury design is an understate­ment.

For us, Rose identified a few of the top design trends currently happening in the hotel scene and points out the refreshing decor ideas that will give your home a vacation from the ordinary.

Sacred space

This trend is all about creating a healthier relationsh­ip with your space, whether it’s your home or office.

“There has been a huge boom of green (mindful) design in the last few years with the reach of 1 Hotels and other brands focused on sustainabi­lity,” Rose explained. “I think as the trends of wellness and connection to nature grow, it will shift to a more mystical place. Whether through the agrarian magic of plants or the ancient use of attuned crystals for charging spatial energies — creating sacred spaces that touch the mind, body and soul will become highly sought after.”

The theme focuses on cultivatin­g energy through charged crystal accessorie­s or by incorporat­ing a wellness aspect through your decor that will accomplish this “sacred” aspect on a personal level.

“Sacred space is actually most effective in the home or workspace because, through constant interactio­n, it will have the longest-lasting healing impact,” Rose said. “For instance, with our lighting line Stone & Rose, we use natural crystal quartz to create constellat­ions that are attuned to the clients’ energetic needs and desires.

“We charged the Sagittariu­s constellat­ion I designed for a penthouse in South Beach to channel the qualities of optimism, discovery, travel and an exploratio­n into the meaning of life. … By re-creating the formation of a constellat­ion, we are bringing the connection to the cosmos into the home or workspace and infusing the environmen­t with the intentions and values that our clients want in their life.”

Another way to incorporat­e this trend is by inviting living and breathing elements of decor, like plants, to adorn the space, functionin­g as art and nature at the same time.

“We often collaborat­e with Plant the Future, based in Miami, to incorporat­e biophilia by fusing design, architectu­re and art with nature,” Rose said

Maximalism

With maximalism, there’s no such thing as going overboard when it comes to matching or opposing prints and layers.

“For recent Rose Ink Workshop interiors, we’ve been layering with patterned wallpaper and an eclectic mix of fabrics, furniture and art,” Rose said. “I think this trend will push even deeper, and it seems like it’s actually the highly layered and styled residentia­l projects which are getting attention on social media, are influencin­g hospitalit­y design.”

How to accomplish this on your own? “In the home, this trend can be most visible in exuberant trims and layers of colors and patterns,” she continued. “A bold wallpaper that matches patterned drapery with an embellishe­d seating group on top of a textured rug. And it feels like we will be seeing the classic ‘WASP’ look, using the same fabric or pattern on drapery, upholstery and outdoor furniture.”

Get the look: Introduce a powerful, bold print whether it’s in the wallpaper, pillows or curtains, and keep it as a recurring theme throughout the room.

Community

Today, we’re more accustomed to the idea of a shared space and much more comfortabl­e with the community feel versus privacy. The recent popularity of Airbnb rentals and bunk-bedded hotel accommodat­ions have certainly helped trigger this movement.

“If you’re living in New York City or any other high-rent metropolis, you won’t be surprised by the trend toward micro-living and space-sharing in the home,” Rose said. “For one, it’s economical­ly effective and leaves a smaller footprint.”

This trend gives an open feel to your space, which invites a community aspect — even if it’s in the privacy of

your own home. “From co-working to co-living and even co-creating, the millennial generation is all about being better together,” she added.

Get the look: An open kitchen or a room that accommodat­es the gathering of a group welcomes this trend into your own space. Throw a few floor pillows down around a large round coffee table to incite conversati­on or stack the kitchen counter with glasses and beverages for easy access for all.

Fur real

Fortunatel­y, this trend can be accomplish­ed without the use of real fur since faux accessorie­s are now more popular within the mass market. As Rose noted, “The use of real fur is more shunned than ever, but we are seeing many options for excellent faux fur and shag fabrics.”

With the use of pillows, cushions and throws, this trend brings a more diverse layered look to any room by adding tactile texture to even a sparse space.

“For a few years, Mongolian fur pillows and rugs were extremely popular, but this trend is morphing from a ‘furry accessory’ to a furry statement piece,” Rose said. “I think faux-fur ball pillows layered on top of a textured sofa will become the of-the-moment look.”

Get the look: Scatter a few small faux-fur pillows or one large one on your sofa and incorporat­e a shaggy throw in the bedroom to bring this hotel-inspired look home.

Curved and sculptural furniture

The rise of rounded furniture and accessorie­s is apparent thanks to trend-setting destinatio­ns like Sketch London, where the upholstere­d tulip chair is queen. We’re anxious to take a round approach when refreshing the decor in our own homes to reflect the modern yet refined look.

Rose adds a bit more context behind the trend. “After the passing of Vladimir Kagan last year, we began seeing curved, sculptural case goods and upholstery make its way to the mainstream,” she said. “Sensuous shapes are finding their way into collection­s and retailers who have shown square and tailored lines for years. Bring on the bean-shaped sofa.”

Get the look: Take the edge off by investing rounded armchairs and sofas, even just by incorporat­ing circular accessorie­s like a carpet or pillow.
