Hotel restyling: the 10 golden rules for design

The golden rules for flawless hotel restyling

Hotel restyling – Anyone who owns a hotel will often have been concerned about renovating its look. Not everyone, however, completes this project as the time required to carry out the restyling project and the costs, more often than not, frighten and the first consequence is to abandon the idea. Here are the 10 golden rules for design that allow you to achieve optimal results in a short time and for not much money.

1 Where to start for an artful hotel restyling

Hotel restyling should be done periodically, normally every ten years at the most. This serves to maintain a high level of competitiveness on the market through trendy and carefully thought-out furnishings. Indeed, every choice has a definite impact on the environment and the guests who visit it. Therefore, it is good that every choice is made starting from the target of the customers to guarantee them the highest level of satisfaction.

Therefore, in the hotel restyling project, to avoid making trivial mistakes, it is necessary to plan everything, not only that which concerns aesthetics, but also the structural and functional aspects. One thing is certain, there is no limit to the possibility of customising furnishings such as chairs and tables, wardrobes, beds and bedside tables, in materials and colours that best represent the image of the hotel.

2 Furnishing with pieces of Italian and local art

A first contrivance for a quick and easy hotel restyling without spending exorbitant sums is to renovate the rooms with pieces of Italian and local art. Welcome are not only paintings of a certain value, but also objects of ancient local tradition ideal for evoking the true essence of the place. Obviously, it is necessary in all cases to choose pieces of luxury art, by local artists and craftsmen, that do not deviate too much from the image of the hotel and are in harmony with the surrounding décor. These, even if they are only small details, contribute to the overall impression of the environment in which they are placed.

3 New design for the restyling of unkempt spaces

In the event that there are spaces in the hotel that are poorly designed, it is a good idea to start with these with the renovation. In fact, even if they are set apart from a more well-positioned area, they influence the final feeling of the guest who will almost certainly be tempted to leave a negative review. In this case it is good to start by combining:

• creativity,
• functionality,
• efficiency.

Equipping the space with various comforts, such as a sofa, a bar corner and wi-fi stations to allow customers to work undisturbed. Whichever furnishing style is chosen, it is a good idea to take existing structural elements into account during the design phase. There is no need to buy new furniture, in fact, for a breath of fresh air it is possible to decorate existing furniture with the decoupage technique or with luminous enamels that create a metallic effect, depending on the style of the hotel. It is always better to renovate than to refurbish!

4 Colour palettes and materials suitable for hotel restyling

In hotel restyling, the colour palette and materials of the furnishings play a key role. These must be matched with balance for a guaranteed harmonious result. Trendy today are neutral colours, from white to beige to sand colour, skilfully combined with stronger tones such as blue, coral and olive green. Obviously, if you only want to renovate certain rooms, it is necessary that their furnishings fit in with the existing ones. While, as far as materials are concerned, natural ones cannot be missing, such as marble floors or exposed wooden beams and rough stone, if it is a more rustic-looking hotel.

 

5 A new room with an unforgettable buffet

The hotel’s hall should be renewed periodically. In this environment, it is of paramount importance not to leave anything out. From the flows for serving at the buffet, to the furnishings characterised by colours and materials in harmony with the design of the surroundings. Among the most popular buffet arrangements is the one that makes it look as if it is set against the wall. However, in reality there is a space between the wall and the countertop that allows staff to pass easily with a trolley for a neat, tidy and unobstructed set-up for guests.

6 The back-kitchen: what it is, what it is for and how to enhance it.

Also with regard to the restyling of the hotel room, if you are planning a real renovation, you can already set up the increasingly popular back-kitchen at the planning stage. This is an extremely functional space for the staff in the lounge. In fact, it facilitates work by providing a real foothold hidden from the prying eyes of guests, useful for keeping dishes warm and cold and finishing off dishes on the way out.

7 Renovating rather than refurbishing from scratch

As mentioned above, renovating just a few rooms and the entire hotel does not necessarily mean putting in place a real renovation. In fact, for the restyling of the hotel you can think of simply buying new exclusive and luxurious furnishings, such as those available on ArredareModerno, which knows how to distinguish itself also thanks to its collaboration with designers who are experts in contract fittings. In fact, even with just a new layout, it is possible to give the entire room a new and distinctive look.

8 Beautiful bedrooms thanks to colours and textures

Colours materials and textures are also very important in the restyling of hotel bedrooms. First of all, it is necessary to make sure that mattresses and slats are in top shape. Only then, if you have an adequate budget, can you think about replacing the furniture and fitting new furniture.  You could think about mixing the furniture in the various rooms in a new key, and play with different colours, materials and textures for a breath of fresh air.

9 Tastefully harmonising different elements with each other

After restyling the hotel, it is good to emphasise that the end result should not only be personalised but also harmonious and leave guests satisfied. Those on a tight budget, for example, might decide to surprise them by using recycled and changed objects as decorations. For example, an old sewing machine could be placed in the hotel lobby next to a comfortable sofa, or the wheel of a walking bicycle could be used as a chandelier. There is no limit to the imagination!

10 Coordinating Prints, Paintings and Photos with Wallpaper

Last but not least, given the essential function of prints, pictures, photos and whatever else is affixed to the walls, it is essential that these decorative objects are coordinated with the wall colour or wallpaper on the walls. Lately also popular for an exclusive and refined effect are trompe l’oeil, frescos painted directly on the wall.
