What is Design?

But more importantly. How important is design in the hotel environment? The school of design tell us that design is all about progress. It’s about devising a course of action that changes existing situations into a preferred one. Long gone are the days when hotel guests expected simply hygiene and cleanliness. Research shows that there is a clear link between the success of a business and its interior design. After all. You only get one opportunity to make a first impression. Visual aids can lead to assessments of a brand within around 50 milliseconds. And this is no different for hotels.

Nowadays you need to offer a high-class, sophisticated design in the hotel environment. From the latest colour trends, to the latest texture trends, to the design trend of 2019. Eco-friendly design. Design today is such an integral cog to the wheel of a hotels business. And it’s not something that is that new! Statistics from 2016 show us that UK hotels increased their refurbishment spending by as much as 57% in that year alone. Hotel refurbishment is now an investment.

But. Not every hotel has a bottomless pit of funds. Yes. I get it. A facilities manager of a hotel would love to spend millions on an amazing refurbishment. We all want to stand out from the crowd. Sadly though. For most hotels a crazy investment is not realistic. So. What are the options?

The future of hotel design

How do architectural films help? I hear you ask. Let’s break it down for you. Ingrid Velasquez brilliant piece on the psychology of colour demonstrates that there are so many in trend colours for hotel design. Different colours resonate with different moods, which are ever changing in the different areas of a hotel. With 3M DI-NOC and Cover Styl’ architectural finishes these trends can be met with ease. With over 1500 patterns in the range, the design potential is unlimited! The only thing holding you back could be your own imagination.

Save time and money with film! Traditional refurbishment take so much time, make so much noise, and let’s face it, can be very messy too. With film you can wrap any surface, from fixtures to walls, lifts, doors, columns and even ceilings. You can even apply in situ! Just think. How much money could a hotel save by keeping the hotel open during a refurbishment?

We have all gone eco mad, haven’t we? The last decade has unearthed the importance of looking after our environment. Guess what? Architectural finishes can help tick the box of the design trend of 2019 too! Wrap it, don’t rip it! It lasts as well. With a durability of 10 years plus, the next refurb is a long way away.
