Interior style
Hotel chique
Hotel chic is a luxurious style of living that brings the feel of a high-end hotel suite into your own living room. The style revolves around premium materials such as marble, velvet, polished metal and real leather, brought together into a refined, comfortable whole that looks rich without being overloaded. In our showroom at Hogelandsingel 49 in Enschede you will find a wide selection of furniture and accessories in this style, from velvet armchairs to marble side tables.
What defines the hotel chic style
Hotel chic is best described as understated luxury. Where a sleek modern interior deliberately adds very little, hotel chic is allowed to show richness: glossy surfaces, soft textures and a few striking statement pieces that set the tone. The base stays calm and neutral, so the luxurious accents get all the attention. That makes the room feel well kept and welcoming, exactly like a suite where you come to rest.
Which furniture and materials fit
Choose furniture where the materials themselves tell the story. A velvet sofa or a pair of leather armchairs often forms the heart of the room, complemented by a marble coffee table on a polished metal base. For the dining room a sleek dining table with a marble or tinted glass top looks wonderful, with dining chairs in velvet or leather around it. Marble graces table tops and side tables, polished metal returns in legs and handles in gold or silver, and real leather develops a lovely patina over time.
Colours, textures and mood
The palette starts neutral and warm: champagne, taupe, muted grey and soft black form the calm foundation. Against that you set one or two statement shades, for example emerald green, deep navy or burgundy, in a sofa or a few cushions. Stick to one metal as the main accent: gold brings warmth, silver a cooler elegance. The charm lies in the contrast between matt and glossy, so alternate velvet with marble, glass and a single natural element.
How to combine hotel chic in your interior
In the living room a velvet sofa works opposite a marble coffee table, flanked by leather armchairs and a mirrored sideboard that reflects the light. Lay a soft, plain rug underneath to anchor the seating area. In the dining room give a chic dining table the leading role, with comfortable chairs and a striking pendant light above. Light sets the mood: work with several sources at different heights and use dimmers for a warm, intimate feel in the evening.
Practical: timeless, care and combining
Hotel chic is a timeless choice, provided you keep the base calm and limit trends to easily swapped accessories such as cushions and throws. Marble and polished metal need attention now and then: wipe stains away quickly and use coasters, while velvet and leather stay attractive for a long time with regular dusting. You do not have to start over, because a single luxurious statement piece alongside what you already own lifts an existing interior to a more elegant level straight away.

Frequently asked questions
- What is hotel chic as a style of living?
- Hotel chic is a luxurious style inspired by high-end hotel suites. It is characterised by polished metal, marble, velvet, leather and heavy textiles. A calm base palette of champagne and taupe is combined with a few rich accent colours for a premium look.
- Which colours suit hotel chic?
- Work with a neutral base of champagne, taupe, dark grey and muted black, complemented by one or two statement shades such as emerald green, navy or deep burgundy. Then choose one metal as the main accent: gold for warmth or silver for a cooler feel.
- Which materials belong to this style?
- Marble on table tops and consoles, polished metal on legs and handles, velvet on sofas and armchairs, and real leather that develops a lovely patina over the years. Heavy textiles such as jacquard and soft throws complete the picture.
- Does hotel chic suit a small apartment?
- Yes, provided you style it carefully. Choose a single statement piece, for example a velvet armchair or a marble coffee table, and keep the rest neutral. Polished surfaces reflect light and make a smaller room look visually larger.
- What is the difference between hotel chic and modern?
- Modern is minimalist and restrained, with neutral tones and clean lines. Hotel chic is richer and more sumptuous, with premium materials such as marble, velvet and polished metal and a few warm accent colours. Modern works with little decoration, hotel chic with striking statement pieces.
- How should I plan the lighting for hotel chic?
- Work with several light sources at different heights: ceiling lighting, a floor lamp and table lamps. Dimmers are all but indispensable for creating a warm, intimate mood in the evening. Polished metal and mirrors amplify the light in the room.
- Which styles does hotel chic combine with?
- Hotel chic sits well with a country base, where warm materials are softened with luxurious accents, and with a modern scheme of clean lines plus premium materials. Do keep it calm and choose one clear main direction.
