should have some prints if possible, though
white is easier to launder so maybe self prints
can be designed. For upper upscale or five star
properties, extra cushions on the bed can bring in
colour, while suites and presidential suites should
have more colours through bed runners/extra
cushions or bedspreads.
Too long, too late:
Does design get dated
Yes, design can get dated if the hotel takes 5-6
years or more to be built. Not only design,
but there are new materials every year in the
market. There are cheaper ways to do things as
technology and construction methods are also
improving and the methods have advanced.
Therefore, the faster the hotel is built the better.
It then looks like a new design concept. Mostly,
we use contemporary designs to avoid the risk of
the design looking dated.
More or subtle
It is important to focus on simple designs and focal
points rather than ‘no’ or ‘more’ approach. The
function or operational benefits cannot be ignored,
but a design needs to be blended and woven into
aesthetics. Without aesthetics any space is boring.
With smart and subtle design, every space can
be pleasing.
