Choices in Hotel Furniture

Choosing hotel furniture can be overwhelming for a new hotel owner or designer. There are so many rooms, lobbies and public spaces to furnish and a number of hotel furniture suppliers that offer different furniture models. One of the first steps to complete before shopping around is to calculate the number of furniture sets and lobby furniture that will be needed for the hotel. This can be done by counting the number of rooms, their sizes and the number of public spaces that will need to be furnished. A hotel owner that does not have a lot of rooms and wants to go with a more eclectic, bed and breakfast type of look may want to consider local antique shops or furniture liquidators. If matching furniture is not a concern, these places may have unique pieces that can be used as hotel lobby furniture or hotel room furniture. Hotel owners may be able to find good deals with furniture liquidators and used furniture stores but he or she should be sure to check the condition and quality of the furniture before purchasing it.

The size of each room is also another calculation that should be made before buying furniture for hotel. The room sizes and layouts should be planned out before the hotel owner chooses a certain set of furniture. An owner or designer may not need to be as careful with the size of hotel lobby furniture because the lobby is usually a larger and more open space. Hotel room furniture, however, may need to fit into a smaller or oddly shaped space. Hotel furniture suppliers should be able to help a hotel owner buy hotel furniture that will fit into these small spaces as long as he or she can bring the measurements of the room for guidance.

It may be a good idea for a hotel owner to first speak with a representative from a hotel furniture supplier in regards to the hotels furniture. Once a representative from the company knows the scope of the project and that the owner wants to buy hotel furniture from the company, he or she may be able to offer a discount or special offer on the furniture. There may also be older sets of furniture that are discounted in price for those hotel owners that are not concerned with having the latest models and designs. Since there are many choices in furniture design, a hotel owner should first know what kind of style he or she will be implementing in other parts of the hotel.
