Hotel Design Trends 2017
It may sound odd for travelers, but the look of hotels is also not fixed and it tends to change every year or even season. At least, MatchLine Design Group is sure in that, and so the company released its opinion on the most popular trends in hotel design for summer and autumn 2017. The Dallas-based interior design company regularly works with the most famous hotel brands and performs a wide range of activities, from a mere touch-up to a serious full-scale renovation and development of the design for newly built hotels. MatchLine works with such famous hoteliers as Marriott, IHG, Hilton, Starwood, Kimpton, Fairmont, and more.
Large geometric and floral prints remain one of the top trends for this year. These prints can be found everywhere, from carpets and artworks to walls and textiles. When it comes to the main style concept, classic modern is definitely the most popular one. Designers keep playing with the classic style but try adding a fresh twist to it. The material is another important aspect, and metals are still on peak here. In 2017, designers particularly enjoy mixing warm and cool metals, adding copper, rose gold and bronze to metals with silver finish.
A healthy lifestyle is a big trend these days, so hotels have to support it and make adjustments to design in order to make it more wellness-oriented. That means the addition of new fitness and wellness amenities to keep guests rejuvenated while away from home. The lobby becomes a more important area in modern hotels. According to current trends, the bar goes down to the ground floor and becomes a part of the lobby. By the way, public spaces, indeed, have fewer walls in modern hotels. In order to break up the spaces visually, designers use different materials for flooring, for example, tiles with carpet insets. Finally, local art in hotels is a big trend these days. That is particularly true about artworks that tell the history of the city the hotel is open in or highlight its main landmarks.
