5 Tips to Choosing the Right Hotel Contact Furniture

Too many hotel owners are focused on short term saving rather than long term profits. A bad choice in hotel contract furniture can damage the potential to gain and retain clients, meaning that all the money you spent in building and launching the hotel will be wasted. Although choosing hundreds of pieces of furniture may be a daunting prospect, and durability is one of the main factors in your choice, you cannot afford to sacrifice style just so you save a relatively small amount of money in the present.

Here are the top five tips to consider when choosing your hotel contract furniture to optimise the number of first time and returning visitors, as well as your profits.
1) Architecture is everything. It is more than likely the case if your hotel is housed in a building with some architectural concept. If it's a graded building or has some historical features, decorate the interior of the hotel with corresponding furniture. Likewise, traditional furniture in a contemporary building will only confuse your guests.

2) Stick To A Theme. This point is similar to the first but concentrating solely on the interior decorating. If you have chosen to use classical furniture, use it throughout the hotel. Do not make the mistake of using classical furniture in the reception and then cheap, prototype furniture in the bedrooms. Guests will feel a sense of disappointment if the furniture in the reception is of a higher quality to their bedroom. Art Deco and contemporary furniture also work well in the varying rooms of a hotel.

3) Pictures Can Speak A Thousand Words. Brochures, newspapers and internet websites all contain pictures of the exterior and interior of the hotel. Even if the exterior of your hotel is palatial, pictures of cheap and poorly designed rooms will only work to turn customers away from your establishment. Choosing badly designed furniture will prevent you from booking guests. Likewise, if you use attractive furniture in your advertising and poor furniture throughout your hotel, people who do visit once will not return!

4) Make The Most Of The Services You Offer. Hotel bars and restaurants can make huge amounts of money, attracting patrons from inside and outside the hotel. That is of course, only if you have a well designed, comfortable and enticing area. Making a design statement with your bar or restaurant can earn you interest from a number of parties. Hotel reviewers, restaurant critics and lifestyle magazines all comment on the atmosphere in which they have eaten their food or enjoyed a cocktail. A feature from one of these industry professionals can give you a reputation that will attract non-hotel visitors and your profits will soar.

5) If In Doubt Ask The Experts. If you still have no idea where to begin when choosing the furniture for your hotel, take advantage of the services that a number of the best furniture suppliers offer. They can send you samples, visit you with a moving showroom and provide you with a personal designer to help you plan your design. Choosing a supplier with years of experience in the hotel contract furniture industry is the best choice that any design conscious hotel owner could make.
