Idyllic Stays: Stylish Interiors with Hotel Linen Hire

When running a hotel, one of the most important considerations you’ll need to think about is the design of your hotel rooms.

As important as quality customer service, cleaning services and room service all are, the design of your hotel rooms plays a key part in making or breaking your customers’ stay with you - not to mention, it also plays a part in attracting customers to your hotel in the first place.

There are many factors to consider when designing your hotel rooms; keep reading as we discuss what these are, so you can create stylish rooms that match the design vision of your hotel.

Before going into the specifics of designing your hotel rooms, you’ll first want to consider the aesthetic you want to achieve and choose a design focus that you can work towards. Think about the clientele you’d like to attract to your hotel and which aesthetic they may be drawn towards.

Modern

The term ‘modern’ can be interpreted in different ways when it comes to interior design. In general, however, a modern aesthetic is defined by simple, sleek and monochromatic features. It is often minimalistic and spacious, all whilst exuding a quiet sense of indulgence.

To create a modern interior design in your hotel room, consider the following features:

• Monochromatic colour scheme
• Warm lighting
• Shallow beds
• Large windows
• Industrial accents
• Sleek furnishings
• Modern art pieces

Clean

An alternative aesthetic that is especially popular at the moment is the clean aesthetic. Similar to the modern aesthetic, the clean aesthetic is all about simplicity.

It’s all about creating a space that feels light and airy yet still cosy and with a somewhat homely feel. This aesthetic matches especially well with beach or seaside locations, which is worth considering if your hotel is located by the seafront.

To create a clean interior design in your hotel room, consider the following features:

• White or light bedding and linens
• Pale wooden accents
• Dried plants or fresh greenery
• Minimal decor
• Natural lighting
• Mirrors
• Natural materials

Luxurious

Perhaps the aesthetic most commonly associated with traditional hotel design is luxury. Staying in a hotel is seen by many to be a luxurious experience, especially when going on holiday - a time where many allow themselves to indulge.

This is where plump pillows, plush duvets and crisp white bed sheets come to mind, complete with a chaise lounge, flat screen television, mini fridge and tasteful accents.

To create a luxurious interior design in your hotel room, consider the following features:

• Large beds
• Plush bedding
• Crisp, white sheets
• Sophisticated decor
• Clean finishes
• Strong attention to detail
• Unique accents

Regal

Lastly, if you wanted to be a bit more adventurous in your hotel design, then you could consider a regal aesthetic.

Whilst garish to some, others may be attracted to such opulence - especially if visiting the UK from abroad, given our royal history. Think chandeliers, warm colours, patterned fabric, historic artwork and gilded accents. Such interiors really give off a sense of wealth and exclusivity that many like to bask in when staying in a hotel.

To create a regal interior design in your hotel room, consider the following features:

• Gold accents
• Chandelier-style lighting
• Four-post bed frames
• Long, colourful drapes
• Warm colour palette
• Luxurious fabrics (e.g. velvet)
• Traditional artwork

Once you’ve decided on your chosen aesthetic, then it’s time to go in and consider more specific elements of your hotel rooms’ design. Remember, the best interior designs effectively combine aesthetics with functionality.

Lighting

Lighting is one of the most important aspects to consider within interior design. Not only do you want lighting that fills the whole room, but you’ll also want to incorporate accent lighting into the space.

Think about where your guests are most likely to require this; consider having accent lighting by the bed, so guests can read or settle down in the evening without harsh ceiling lighting, or perhaps there’s also a desk for guests to get ready at - complementary accent lighting here would also be beneficial.

You’ll also need to decide whether to use cool or warm light bulbs - cool lighting is best suited for task activities, whilst warm lighting is associated with better relaxation.

Sockets

Sockets are essential for travellers, from charging their electronic devices to plugging in the hairdryer after a shower, they’re bound to be used by the majority of your guests.

Of course, you may be limited with socket placement based on the electrical wiring in your building, however if you have got more freedom over where they can be placed, then make sure you choose to do so intuitively.

The most convenient place to put sockets is next to the bed - ideally sockets on each side for any beds that are double size or larger.

Storage

One thing that some hotel owners will overlook is the amount of storage solutions they provide in their hotel rooms.

There are three various types of storage in a particular that are good to offer:

Luggage rack(s): this offers guests a designated place to store their suitcases rather than having to keep them on the floor. Linen Cupboard: a linen cupboard is ideal for storing spare linen for any guests that may wish to use fresh towels or pillowcases at some point during their stay. Safe: offering a cupboard that contains a safe in it is appreciated by many guests, since this offers them a safe space to keep their passport, important travel documents and any cash or other valuables during their stay whilst they’re out and about exploring.

Colour

The psychology of colour plays an important role in interior design. Always think about the colour scheme and general aesthetic you wish to achieve before you start sourcing furniture and accessories to decorate your rooms.

Remember that different colours also evoke different feelings, for example:

• Blue… is associated with confidence, success and security
• Purple… is associated with imagination, royalty and spirituality
• Red… is associated with passion, love and excitement
• Orange… is associated with optimism, youth and freedom
• Green… is associated with prosperity, safety and nature

Linen

One of the most inviting feelings upon arriving at a hotel is laying on the bed after a day of travelling. As such, you want to use high quality bed linen that is both attractive and comfortable.

Many think of crisp, white bedding when they imagine hotel linen, which is a trusted aesthetic that you can’t go wrong with in your hotel room. Not only does this offer a sense of luxury, but it’s also incredibly versatile, as you can inject colours and textures elsewhere throughout the rooms to achieve your desired aesthetic, without the bedding distracting from this.

Not only that, but hotel linen also extends to the bathroom. It’s just as important to provide soft towels for your guests, along with bathrobes if you really want to offer an elevated and luxurious experience.

When sourcing linen to use for your hotel, it’s best to utilise linen hire services. By hiring your linen from a reliable and experienced supplier, you can rest assured that you will be provided with only high-quality linen that is delivered in crisp, clean condition.
