Furniture: your choice should not be a matter of chance
Making your hotel even more attractive requires creative thinking to find the right furniture that will combine comfort, quality and aesthetics while adapting to the story telling of your hotel. Furniture is the best tool to improve the image of your hotel. Find in this article, some advices to choose it well.
The decoration, an element that confirms your identity
Defining the style of a hotel is the object of a long reflection preceded by the drawing of inspiration. Indeed, inspiration can come from anywhere, at any time, and in any circumstances. So don’t hesitate to check out the most fashionable establishments. Also, visit trade shows that focus on the latest furnishing trends. An easy way to spot trends is to look at Pinterest.
Every detail is important! You can consider matching your furniture to the major theme of your hotel: classic, traditional, romantic… Play with materials, shapes and colors to create your own atmosphere.
Your entrance sets the tone for everything that follows, so don’t neglect it. Set the tone of your interior directly with your exterior design choices.
Less is more: embrace the minimalist spirit
The minimalist style reached its peak in the 1960s. A trend in aesthetics and interior design that aims to reduce materials to a minimum. To bring this minimalist touch to your hotel, avoid flashy colors and opt for neutral tones such as gray, beige, white or midnight blue.
In addition, your real estate should be uncluttered and discreet. Minimalism is above all a style that blends objects with their surroundings. Avoid all heaviness and extravagance and leave room for discretion in your storage.
Concerning your materials, prefer raw materials such as glass or lacquered wood. However you can add more character by playing with textures.
Confort and biofeeling
Beyond aesthetics, your furniture must contain a form of comfort, ease of maintenance, and practicality… To be avoided: a too imposing furniture in restricted spaces; your decoration must not slow down your staff in its movement.
Think of arranging your café and restaurant in a cosy way, so that customers can relax and take time for themselves.
Biofeeling is a movement that believes that shapes and environments have a direct impact on emotions. So, to keep your guests calm and collected, design rooms with geometrically defined lines, soft chairs, and a warm atmosphere.
What about you? Where do you get your inspiration to furnish your home? Do you do it yourself or do you call a professional?
