We're increasingly seeing guests, especially business travelers, choosing to spend less time in their rooms and more time in the hotel's public areas, prompting Renovation Contractor to experiment with creating multi-purpose spaces through spatial segmentation. This can be easily achieved through hotel furniture design.

Choose the right furniture to create a dedicated area, perhaps a high-back sofa, a coffee table, a casual gathering spot, or a private area. Opt for soft, upholstered furniture to emphasize relaxation, and your social and leisure zones will become easily defined.

Your hotel lobby layout needs to create space for single guests who prefer the solitude of their room but don't want to be disturbed by others. A simple yet effective approach is to use screens with ornate cutouts to create smaller, private areas for single travelers, allowing them to sit and relax without feeling completely disconnected from the larger social area. This encourages visitors to spend more time in the lobby and bar area. Not only does this increase potential opportunities, guests can also purchase drinks from the bar, as well as some food.

Don't neglect business visitors who won't take their laptops out of their luggage but will be able to have a drink at the bar while responding to emails. A bit taller table and one or two chairs will then be more practical. Pair this with an area where they can plug in their phones and laptops, and you have a workspace. Due to electrical practicalities within the building, don't limit your workspace to your room.

You can use feature walls when you want further divisions and clearer separation of spaces. You should work with your Renovation Contractor on the details of the design. Many hoteliers choose greenery for this purpose, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors and creating a lovely, fresh feel. Large mirrors, wall art, and loose furniture can all have a dramatic impact. You can also have local artists create artwork that you put on the walls in order to highlight the local origins of the hotel. But as your creative space grows, ensure the overall hotel decor complements and flows seamlessly.
