Forget stashing the bath products, now you can take home the furniture and homewares you love from your favourite hotels. Here’s where to shop the look.

Beds

Elements of Byron Resort sells its custom-made beds to keep you dreaming of the NSW north coast beachside hideaway when you get home, while The Langham’s Blissful Beds come in extra long double, queen and king sizes. Don’t forget to include the hotel’s signature Teddy Bear.

Sheets, towels and pillows

Now you can dress your bed and bathroom to mimic the sophisticated style oozing from guest rooms at Melbourne’s Crown Resort. Like Crown itself, all its homewares are oversized – take home giant duck down pillows, frothy bathmats as big as rugs, luxuriant towels you’ll want to spend the day in and gold and blue piped sheets and doona covers.

Pillows, blankets and linen from Westin Hotels are also available for purchase online; the Langham in Sydney and Melbourne offer their duck down pillows and everything but the turn-down service is on sale at the Marriott shop, think mattress toppers, doonas and sheets.

Headboards, cushions and vases

Forget seashells and incense sticks as souvenirs from a holiday in Byron Bay, now you can take home the leather headboards and bespoke cushions found in the new villas at Elements of Byron, opening in October. Using fabrics that reflect the surrounding coast and rainforest, colour palettes include blues, white and gold. Label lovers will drool over Karl Lagerfeld book cubes, Kenzo Takada pillows and hand-painted porcelain vases and Christian Lacroix cushions used in uber-chic suites at Sofitel So Singapore, Bangkok and Mauritius

Coffee tables, sofas and artwork

You don’t exactly expect to arrive home from a spell in an Airbnb with a cutting edge coffee table in the car but this Fitzroy studio ain’t your ordinary Airbnb. A gallery doubling as a hotel room, the Melbourne inner-city digs showcases local furniture maker Ross Didier’s table, artwork by Jeremy Blincoe, a sofa by CULT’s Adam Goodrum with cashmere throws by Robinson Man to soften the rustic vibe. At the three-bedroom Gallery House in St Kilda, also one of local architect Ben Edwards’ unique Airbnbs, you can buy the art on the walls which is from Melbourne’s Daine Singer, Backwoods and Lindberg Galleries.

Chairs

The kooky look at QT Sydney and Melbourne that somehow perfectly blends an assembly of eclectic pieces can be yours if you head to the online shop of Stellar Works and Living Edge. Designed by Nic Graham, the QT Collection of chairs uses contemporary fabrics to update retro designs. Choose from three different armchair styles, a high back and a sofa. Coffee tables are also part of the quirky mix.
