Q: We had our master bedroom built in 2006, but because we had a very limited budget, it didn't turn out the way we wanted it to! The space is big, but it lacks style and character. We were hoping for hotel-like interiors but we have no idea how to get that look.

Do you have any tips on how to convert our bedroom into a relaxing sanctuary that we could look forward to seeing after a long day?—Cecile de Larrazzabal

A: Here are simple but effective ways to make your bedroom seem more elegant and sophisticated:

  • Be inspired by the best hotel bed you have ever slept on! Get a similar feel with white fluffy pillows and white bed linen. 
  • Personalize the room with things that you like, such as family photos, flowers, and candles.
  • Speaking of candles, light strongly affects the feel of any room! Use a pair of matching table lamps or a pair of matching floor lamps with warm white lights for a relaxing space.
