An important stage in developing the hotel concept is the correct choice of hotel interior design. If you are currently thinking about what style to choose for your future hotel, we suggest you consider 4 style options in the hotel interior that are popular among guests around the world.
Country
This style is associated with nature, simplicity, because its details are somewhat reminiscent of rural life. The philosophy of this direction of interiors is the pursuit of roots and the observation of beauty in familiar things.
As for the decor elements, the country style in hotels is pictured by light shades of the interior (terracotta, brown, beige, blue, white, light green, gray, yellow), fresh colors and, often, a fireplace. As a rule, in such hotels, the floor covering is made of parquet, laminate or tile. A long-pile carpet is also available.
Advantages of Country style:
Creates a cozy and warm environment, especially in small spaces with low ceilings.
Disadvantages of Country style:
Bad combination with all the modern appliances.
The country style was used in hotels: Sophia Country Club (Valbonne, France), Casolare Le Terre Rosse (San Gimignano, Italy), Errigal Country House Hotel (Coothill, Ireland), etc.
Scandinavian
The Scandinavian style is also simple and functional at the same time. It is known all over the world for its coziness and comfort.
The main color in this style is white, complemented only by light shades, as well as graphic lines. When decorating hotels, it involves the use of natural materials (wood, leather, ceramics, cotton, linen, etc.). Also, its main highlight is the presence of a large table made of solid wood.
Interior designers especially love it, so it is often found in hotels of various categories around the world.
Advantages of choosing a Scandinavian style:
- The care of spaces made in the Scandinavian style is quite simple. So, it will not take much time to dust off several decorative elements or wipe the wooden floor.
- It is one of the inexpensive ones. Therefore, if you want to choose a comfortable and at the same time not particularly expensive style for your hotel, then Scandinavian is exactly what you need.
Disadvantages Scandinavian style:
- This style looks quite uncomfortable and cold in winter due to the prevailing cool tones.
- The clutter in the Scandinavian-style room is more noticeable because of its minimalism. This factor may confuse guests who will put their things in it.
Scandinavian-style hotels: Bergen Børs Hotel (Bergen, Norway), Arctic TreeHouse Hotel (Rovaniemi, Finland), Tramuntana Hotel (kadakes, Spain), etc.
Art Deco
The art Deco style is characterized by combining the past and the future. Everything comes from its history. It appeared after the First world war, when people wanted to return to normal life and at the same time develop new technologies to improve its flow.
The art Deco style of hotel decoration includes materials such as wood, stainless steel, smooth stone/ceramic tiles, and leather. It is also characterized by gloss, table polishing, which is now performed in a modern style. The interior uses zigzags (when laying ceramic tiles) and trapezoids (on the backs of chairs).
Advantages of choosing Art Deco style:
- It looks solid and presentable. If your target audience is the creative intelligentsia, then the Art Deco style is perfect for you.
Disadvantages of Art Deco style:
-
It is quite expensive. This interior does not tolerate cheap things, finishing hotels in this style should look solid. Also, most of the costs will be allocated to decorative items.
- This number of decorative elements and furniture requires careful cleaning, which may take a little longer than in hotels in a different style.
Art Deco style was used in the Wall Street Hotel (Odessa, Ukraine), Fairmont Peace Hotel (Shanghai, China), Art Deco Imperial Hotel (Prague, Czech Republic), Waldorf Astoria New York (New York, USA), etc.
Eclectic or mixed style of the hotel interior
This style contains elements that may be inherent in different styles. At the same time, they all look harmoniously with each other. When choosing this style, you will dive into a unique design and you will have a field for experiments.
But it should be noted that eclecticism in the interior does not tolerate an excessive number of decorative items and furniture of various styles, since all this makes the space heavier and uncomfortable.
The advantages of the mixed style:
- "Field" for fantasy.
- You can create a unique design.
Disadvantages of Eclectic style:
- You can overdo it and the space will be uncomfortable and loaded.
This style is mainly used in hotels of the Ribas Hotels Group.
For example, at the Bortoli hotel we created an absolutely modern design, closer to modernism, with Viennese chairs designed at the beginning of the XX century. In our projects for Ribas Hotels Group, we have always adhered to a modern style, but we were also not afraid to introduce furniture or decor inherent in another style into the interior, " said Vitaly Shvaltsvalder, co-founder of Imla, a company that designed and supervised the construction of Ribas Hotels Group hotels.
The interior design of the hotel certainly affects its further occupancy. However, to correctly determine the style, you should take into account the location of the hotel, its target audience and the allocated budget. Professional management companies that manage the facility from its beginning to its commissioning always take these factors into account. Entrusting all processes to one team is often a more profitable and correct decision, since it controls them and is responsible for maintaining the quality and timing on each stage of development.
