Most of the time, the only information your guests have about your hotel is how it looks from the outside, and that can become the decision-maker of whether or not to go in. The guests that do decide to go inside, will notice every little detail your establishment possesses. Besides service, accommodation, and food provided, the atmosphere created also has a great impact.


If guests do not feel pleased with your hotel's interior design, they will likely look for another place to stay next time. Everything matters, from bottom to top. It includes comfortable accommodation, bedding, lighting, and the decor used to set the mood. Here are some ideas on how to enhance your space: 

 

Bedding

The first thing your guests will expect to feel is the bed. It has to be comfortable and beautifully done. The proper hotel bedding includes the appropriate size and quantity of pillows, clean and wrinkle-free sheets and pillowcases, and the right weight duvet. White is the most commonly used color for these items because besides being durable and easy to maintain, it helps your guests make sure that everything on the bed is clean and fresh. But modern bedding also calls for better and high-end finish looks. This is where the decorative bedding gets placed. Bed toppers, such as bedspreads and coverlets, bed skirts, either plain or with a pattern, and bed scarves or throws serve this purpose exceptionally well. Coordinate the bedding decor with the color scheme, drapes, and carpet you have in the room to achieve a maximum level of design. 

 

Drapery

To make a room feel as exquisite as possible, just the right amount of light should be allowed inside. During the day, guests expect an illuminated and open space. During the night, a dark and peaceful environment gets a good night's sleep. Drapery helps you to achieve both expectations, with different percentages of coverage and materials. They could be wall or ceiling mounted, as well as fire-retardant or not. To achieve the best visual possible, the drapes should be well-designed and fit your windows perfectly. You can combine them with sheers, valances, and ties. 

 

Decor items

Choose items that match your furniture and color scheme. Whether you have a traditional or contemporary style, decor items are important to make every space look better. Some examples are candle holders, which can cover an extensive variety of styles, from rustic ones made from bamboo to modern ones made from metal and glass in different shapes and sizes. Another option to make the best out of your rooms is side tables and decorative metal balls. You can also add detail to blank walls by hanging coat hangers and decorative shelves.  

 

Clocks

Wall clocks combine functionality and artwork in only one piece. You can certainly find a piece that combines with your hotel room style, whether it is classic or theme-oriented. Today it is possible to find abstract, paintings and themes on the back of wall clocks, besides of course, the traditional ones. Help your guests keep track of time in a modern and functional way while making the most out of your walls. 

 

Artwork

Besides the bedding, this is probably one of the items your guests will notice and remember the most. A proper piece of artwork can set the mood of a room, so choosing the right one is extremely important. First, you have to consider the style you are looking to achieve: traditional, vintage, or contemporary. Secondly, it is necessary to find the subject or theme for the painting: abstract, cityscape, still life, landscape, geometrical, etc. And lastly, if it is framed: traditional wood or other material, thick or thin, glass framed, or if there will be no frame at all. By adding a piece of artwork, it is possible to give a wall a purpose and transform a room, so choose the perfect fit for your hotel and make your statement. 

 

Mirrors

Open up a room and add style and light to any space. Choose among different sizes and frames: wood, metal, beveled, etc. Accentuate a particular wall with an alternatively shaped mirror, such as a round one, or with a fashion designer. Shelf mirrors are also an option to embellish your walls. For a special and elegant touch in the bathroom, you can always use a LED mirror, that may offer a touch switch and anti-fog features. Mirrors are a must-have for any room, offering your guests a glimpse of reflection as they get ready, and bouncing light throughout the room for a brighter feel.
