What to consider when designing a hotel

Whether you're designing a five-star hotel or furnishing a motel, you need a plan for how you're going to furnish both each individual room and the common areas such as restaurants, hallways and reception.

When we choose a hotel to stay in, the first thing we notice is the room price. But factors such as cleanliness, atmosphere and style are also very important. In short, the interior design of a hotel includes all these characteristics. As an interior designer, you need to consider the following aspects to make the hotel more appealing to customers.

1. Think through the room or location

First and foremost, conduct extensive site studies. Evaluate the space you are going to design by imagining different ways to use even the smallest elements. Create a drawing of the room with exact measurements.

2. Budget

One of the most important factors to consider is the budget. If you are building a large five-star resort, the decor will affect your budget significantly, and you will spend a lot on each room. However, if you are building a motel, you may not want to spend as much on the interior.

3. Design

Ensure that the entire hotel follows a consistent theme. It is important that guests are not disappointed when they see that the room does not match the overall theme of the hotel.

4. Paintings and works of art

Paintings can significantly enhance hotel decor. Having paintings in guest rooms can make guests feel more at ease. In addition, artwork in the hotel's welcome area makes a strong impression on all guests who enter.

5. Consider the customers

Analyze the clientele the hotel wants to attract and design accordingly. Before buying furniture, appliances, carpets, paint or decorations, consult the hotel owner. Inform the cost of each item and obtain approval before proceeding. Develop a design strategy.

6. Organize the hotel items correctly

Once you have purchased all products:

- Arrange them according to your design plan.

- Give clear instructions to all staff, including electricians and painters.

- Place the tables and chairs with sufficient distance from each other.

- Hide all unsightly cords to avoid a messy impression.

- Include plants, paintings and lighting.

7. Additional details

Add plants, lamps and other decorative items to make rooms more appealing. The lobby should be given special care because it is where customers get their first impression of the hotel. Maintain the cleanliness of rooms and bathrooms. When choosing artwork, make sure the colors of the paintings match the decor. A unique work of art can make a lasting impression. Always choose art that appeals to a broad audience and avoid images that may be offensive.
