How Furniture And Furnishings Making Hotels More Comfortable!

The furniture design in hospitality is taking a significant turn in terms of, both, aesthetics and functionality, even as the space becomes more bespoke and eco-friendly in its choice of materials.

NOVEL NUANCES

The organic look and feel of reclaimed and unpolished wood are a new element that is being incorporated into interior design. The trend started in the early 20th century as a move from heavy and ornamented furniture to a natural and modern space. More colours, patterns and finishes are becoming available easily. This is making experimenting with mixed materials a new trend. For example, metal accents and plush furniture are being paired together.

People are being more adventurous and using vibrant colours for a bright and bold feel. These colours also have a practical purpose as people can find important areas such as the dining room in a hotel or a reception. We are witnessing a revival of the usage of dark hues and moody tones. Browns, lacquered blacks, vermilion reds, and deep purples; all these colours are being used in furniture. They create an environment for relaxation when paired with warm lighting, says Chandrika Sahay, Director and Principal Architect of Meraki Dezine.

HYGIENE MATTERS

Post-pandemic, people are looking for spaces which offer good hygiene. Furniture is an element where people sit and eat, touch with their hands, and sleep. Anti-bacterial fabric is used as furniture cushioning as it protects against bacteria, mould, mildew, and other hazardous microbes. Guests prefer hotels and villas for comfort, seclusion, and aesthetics. Crafty work desks and living areas to host meetings became popular.
