New year, new hotel trends!
Hotel industry design trends should be in tune with the quality of services and comfort that are provided in the hospitality industry, creating a high benchmark for the furniture as well. Hotel interiors are as diverse as the hotels themselves. Let’s see what this new year brings us in terms of trendy hotel furniture.
Repurposed and Upholstered
Although we are entering a new year, it seems like furniture trends are gearing towards the more antique end of the spectrum. Look for more repurposed and handcrafted furniture to become more prevalent in hotels. As we have seen the sustainability movement grow in health and clothing, it seems like furniture is the next area to jump on the eco-friendly train. Hotels are seeking to reduce and reuse, including the furniture they purchase.
Locally Sourced Products
As the go-green movement continues, more and more hotels are seeking to make changes to become more environmentally friendly. As with repurposed furniture, hotels are looking to local suppliers for furniture, reducing their shipping costs from overseas manufacturers. With an eye on both sustainability and cost-effectiveness, locally sourced furniture will become more and more popular in hotel interiors.
Scaled Down Furniture Designs
Technology seems to have encouraged more space efficient furniture designs. These minimal pieces of furniture are being incorporated more and more in hotels, just like the prevalence of flat screen tvs.
Natural and Neutral Tones
Warm and inviting tones are made a huge comeback last year in home interiors and this year they seem to be making their way into the hotel interiors, including furniture. Hotel furniture will see a resurgence of greys and browns, allowing for guests to feel at ease during their stay.
Furniture “Mash-Up”
This year is likely to see the combination of traditional pieces mixed in with a playful contrast of more contemporary designs. The juxtaposition in furniture styles creates a unique, unexpected space for guests to enjoy.
Intermingling of Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Hotel furniture will begin to take on elements of the outdoors, such as using more natural materials. The use of these natural elements in furniture design will give off a very relaxed, earthy look and feel.
