The Design Team The design team is responsible for the selection andplacement of various design components such asfinishings, window coverings, wall and floor coveringsand amenities.

The goal is to create;

attractive

comfortable

easy to clean areas.

The design team is made up of: actual designers,project architect, appropriate satff members,representatives of the owners, or the ownersthemselves.

Owners provide guideliness on; the target market the services and amenities offered by the Clients how much money they are willing to spend.

The desing team creates a theme (image) with the helpof the guideliness provided by the owners.

Elements of Interior Design Once the guideliness andthe theme is determined,the selection of designelements take place.

At this stage,housekeeping staff givesadvice to maximize thecleaning efficiency andminimize problems ofdamage and theft.

Design Components Design components include; furnishings,wallcoverings, floor coverings and carperts, windowcoverings, fixtures and amenities.

These items are basic to every area; their layout orplacement is critical to the way the room works. Here,the basic consideration is CONVENIENCE.

“Ease of maintenance” should also be considered inthe selection.

Furnishings Chairs, tables, desks, beds, etc.

Establish the room’s purpose, style, quality

Depend on the type of guest the clients wishes toattract

Also depend upon the room’s shape e.g. chairs may begrouped near the window to take advanatge of naturaldaylight, tables and dressers are usually placedopposite the bed or next to a chair out of the way oftraffic, enough space must be present to move aroundthe room easily even if drawers are open and chairs arepulled away from tables.

Wallcoverings Three basic types are: tile, paint, and wallpaper.

Tile: is long-wearing and bears up well in areas wherethere is high moisture and grime. Easy to maintain.May give a cold look and be expensive.

Paint: is inexpensive, extremely versatile, easy tomaintain. But any scuff or mark on the wall surfaceshow itself immediately and distinctly. Frequenttouch-ups take time and create inconvenience for thestaff and guests.

Floor Coverings and Carpets They not only cover surfaces but help channel traffic,act as soundproofing agents, add color and texture tothe atmosphere. E.g. Contrasting colors or patternscan be used in hallways to lead a person to a new area;patterns on the floor can break up the tedium of longhallways or designate separate areas for meetings,check-in or waiting for an elevator. Patterned ormultitoned carpet also prevents small spots or stainsfrom being noticeable.

The selection of the floor material depends on; guestand employee traffic, acoustics, and the image of thehotel. E.g. marble is durable, easy to maintain, has anaura, but because of its cost and inability to absorbsound, marble is not suitable for the lodging facilities.

Other types of floors are – wood, tile, and linoleumused in high traffic areas like hallways, restrooms andkitchen.

Wood floors are rarely seen because they require agreat deal of care. Add warmth to an area likeceramic or stone.

Linoleum is quite cost effective. With technology,linoleum is now replaces ceramic, stone and wood.Provide a greater sound barrier, easier maintenance,more comfort underfoot. Is not as durable as stoneor ceramic. Available in different colors and patternsunlike other floor types.

Carpet is the first choice in the guestrooms wherepeople like to kick off their shoes. Muffles sounds soalso ideal for hallways and lounge areas. Easy tomaintain, requiring only a daily vacumming and aperiodic cleaning. Wool carpeting lasts longer,keeps its color but builds up static electricity andmore difficult to clean.

Window Coverings Nowadays they are not just closing the room offfrom the outside world, they are an integral part ofthe room’s look. The basic idea is to make the mostuse of the daylight in keeping with the room’simage. E.g. Half-window (café) curtains might beused in a bistro setting.

Based on the style of the room. Regular vacummingis required to keep them dust-free periodic cleaningis a must as well.

Style and Color Scheme Color scheme refers to the use of one or two colorsthroughout the facility to create a unifying look.

Style refers to the “look” of the components whichcreate an atmosphere. E.g. The “look” would be an“English country”, “Ottoman” etc.

Often the style suggests the color scheme.

Trend Trend is a special term used in interior design to refer acolor or style that is used and replaced by every level oflodging facility all across the country.

Here, the problem is that overusing a color or styleminimizes its impact and therefore requires change inthe short term. However, if the colors and styles areharmonious with the region and the type of guests,frequent changes would be prevented.

Designing with a Purpose

Clients are concerned to satisfy their guests in a cost-effective manner. To be cost-effective, they are tryingto use the space they have in the most efficient way.Therefore, nowadays, most of the properties havestarted to have multipurpose or multifunctional areasinto their design and offer special services or facilitiesto attract some other people.

Multipurpose Areas

Multipurpose use of space means exploring the space’spotential for additional uses. E.g. A hallway can alsoserve as an art gallery, the bar, lounge area in or near ahotel lobby as a lobby bar/lounge.

Such areas create a pleasant atmosphere where guestscan socialize and bring additional revenue for thehotel.

A variable of multipurpose area is the “double-duty”room. Nowadays, business travelers have started tomeet outside of their offices to accommodate largegroups, lodging facilities have found it necessary tooffer meeting rooms where meetings can be held andfood may be served.

Meeting rooms are quite important for the designteam. When selecting furnishings, designers considerthat people will be sitting for long periods. Acousticsare a critical part; no one should hear the speaker’swords so that high ceilings or soundproofing isneeded.

Special Services

Special services are offered to attract guests and keepthem returning to the property.

Special services are; athletic clubs, exclusive orspecialty restaurants. Sometimes these features maybecome very popular, and people visit the property forthem not for the guestrooms.

For the office equipment rentals such as photocopying,facsimile, telex transmissions, clerical assistance,computer services are offered.
