Note on Hotel Interior Design

My notes: //this is just an opinion..

Re: hotel room interiors the hotel room is so functional and within a room, there are the creation of new objects and spaces- e.g. it is possible to have a 'sink area' in the hotel room; it is possible to have a curtain area with seat, curtains and then the bed area..and this could comprise the hotel room..and then a television space too with a table also..these are functional spaces or areas...

Can you create such functional areas for ordinary rooms. It is difficult because the rooms themselves are overall functional whereas the hotel room is functional in that it serves a composite purpose ; you live within that one room, wheras a room in a house is just 'a room within a house'.

The use of mirrors is important too.

This is a good guideline for designing the interior of the hotel room.. and then there is the question of designing the interior for the theatre..where functions are important but design interest is heightened re: seating and then space has to be controlled..in a suitable way..where the height of the theatre..depth,space and width are important; indeed there is more architectural interest..

Curtain design too is at the heart of hotels and the theatre...

And where an interior has a high function e.g. the theatre , a hotel lobby, the curtain design gains added importance ; there is also lighting ; If the interior of the theatre is given high importance, then so must the lighting..and so must the curtains...

There is also the wall treatments...maybe fabric wallpapers.... the carpeting and flooring is important.

Perhaps a contrast between carpet and floor is important//sometimes this is done on staircases..and a wooden flooring in the corner/Maybe there can be more interesting degrees of contrast..and maybe contrast is the wrong word.. you can aim for color correlation ; Maybe it is better if you use different materials for different areas of the floor area//

Imagine a lobby in a hotel room and consider its function ; it is to welcome ; Or it is another world..take a functionalist approach e.g. long mirrors at the side with tables- silver colors... functional.. use of sinks and taps...and then long seating area- daybeds-- or sofas. Maybe seating with no backs...long seats -wide and large seats but with the backs a large bit away but backs nicely and elegantly upholstered-
