Alyssa tells us that her "Clients are asking us to model their bedrooms after fine hotels".

"They want it all" she said, "Bathroom vanity, shower screen, platform bed - Right down to an ice bucket and tongs". </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It seems like the hospitality industry is capitalizing on this trend as well, marketing everything from their linens and mattresses to their bathrobes and bath products for at home use.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">... and why not get your inspiration from a hotel room?
