There’s something about a hotel room that makes you feel instantly relaxed, pampered, and a little bit spoiled. The crisp bedding, plush pillows, perfect lighting, and often overlooked but incredibly impactful flawless curtains. Whether you’re in a luxury suite in Dubai or a chic boutique hotel in Lagos, the curtains are never just there for privacy; they’re an integral part of the atmosphere. They set the tone, control the light, and frame the view like a piece of art. The good news? You don’t have to wait for your next vacation to experience that feeling. With the right knowledge, styling, and products from Ceejayinteriors, you can recreate that luxurious “hotel curtain” look in your own home.
Why Hotel Curtains Stand Out
Hotel curtains aren’t just regular window coverings. They are part of a carefully curated design formula that creates a mood of sophistication and comfort. Several key factors make them stand out:
1. Full coverage and height – Hotel curtains often start from ceiling height and sweep down to the floor for a dramatic, seamless look.
2. Layering – A sheer layer for daytime privacy paired with a blackout curtain for total darkness at night.
3. Luxurious fabrics – Think heavy drapes, rich textures, and fabrics that fall in graceful folds.
4. Professional tailoring – Perfect hems, lined panels, and flawless pleats.
5. Functional accessories – Stylish tiebacks, hidden tracks, or sleek rods that complement the overall look.
Ceejayinteriors Tip: We offer custom measurements and tailored finishes so your curtains fit your space exactly like those in a high-end hotel room.
Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving the Hotel Curtain Look at Home
Step 1: Choose the Right Fabric
Hotels never skimp on fabric quality. Fabrics like velvet, jacquard, thick cotton blends, or linen blends add a premium touch. The weight of the fabric matters too, heavier fabrics hang better and give that luxury “swish” when you pull them aside. Sheer fabrics for the inner layer should be soft and flowy, allowing natural light to filter through without feeling cheap or stiff.

Step 2: Go for Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains
One hallmark of hotel curtain styling is the illusion of height. Curtains are mounted at ceiling level, even if your windows are much shorter. This draws the eye upward and instantly makes a room feel grander. When combined with wide coverage that extends beyond the window frame, the result is an expansive, elegant feel.
Pro Tip: At Ceejayinteriors, we offer custom length adjustments so your curtains fit perfectly from top to bottom, no matter your ceiling height.
Step 3: Master the Art of Layering
Layering is essential for both style and function. Start with a sheer curtain layer for daytime light control. This is paired with a heavier blackout curtain for privacy and sleep quality. The layering not only looks visually rich but also allows you to control light levels in your room throughout the day.

Step 4: Stick to a Cohesive Color Palette
Hotels keep their curtain colors in harmony with the room’s décor. Neutral tones like beige, grey, charcoal, or cream work beautifully and add a timeless appeal. If you want a pop of color, opt for rich, muted shades like deep emerald, royal blue, or burnt gold rather than bright, flashy tones.

Step 5: Invest in Proper Lining
Professional hotels always use lined curtains. The lining protects the curtain fabric from sunlight damage, improves drape, and enhances insulation. Blackout lining ensures a restful sleep, an absolute must if you’re trying to recreate a five-star experience at home.
Pro Tip: All Ceejayinteriors blackout curtains come with premium thermal lining at no extra cost for select collections.
Step 6: Get the Hardware Right
Even the most luxurious fabric can look underwhelming with the wrong hardware. Hotels often use hidden ceiling tracks for a seamless flow or high-quality rods in matte black, brushed brass, or polished chrome for a visible statement. Tiebacks should complement the curtain material without overpowering it.

Step 7: Don’t Forget the Pleats
Perfect pleats are part of the hotel magic. Pinch pleats, goblet pleats, or wave folds create that crisp, tailored look. Avoid casual or sloppy folds; precision is key. Ceejayinteriors offers professional pleating options to ensure your curtains look freshly styled every single day.
Step 8: Enhance with Lighting
Hotels often use curtain lighting to highlight textures and create ambiance. Consider installing LED strips above the curtain track or using warm-tone spotlights to cast a glow over your drapes. This enhances the sense of luxury and draws attention to the fabric’s beauty.

Step 9: Keep Them Spotless
Hotels maintain their curtains meticulously. Regular dusting, gentle vacuuming, and occasional dry cleaning keep fabrics fresh and vibrant. Using the right care method for your curtain fabric will extend its lifespan.
