While hotel rooms need to be fully functional so that guests can use all the offered features, the visual aspect also must capture a guest’s interest. Guests who are wowed by the luxurious interior designs when viewing hotel spaces on websites, in magazines, and on Instagram will actively make it a point to stay at such an establishment. People make it a point to photograph and post what their hotels look like. So every detail has to embody sophistication and relaxation.
Hotel bathrooms are no exception. Moving away from stark and utilitarian designs, bathrooms have become conversation starters. When seeking out design ideas, consider the following trends that you may wish to incorporate into your hotel bathroom spaces.
Residential Ideas in Bathroom Spaces
Walk into a residential home, and you will notice that the homeowner went to great lengths to splurge of luxuries in the bathroom space. From Jacuzzi tubs to his-and-her showers, hotel owners are taking design cues from residential bathrooms and incorporating more high-end and elegant features into guest bathroom spaces.
Elaborate finishes and amenities vary depending on the hotel theme and available space. Some features include heated stone floors, small fireplaces, and Carrara marble vanity tops. Vessel sinks paired with Polished Chrome or Satin Nickel finish faucets that sit on top of the vanity top or are semi-recessed can give an extravagant appearance.
The Duro® Two Handle Widespread Lavatory Faucet offers a tall faucet spout allowing guests to freshen up before enjoying the rest of their hotel amenities.
Seamless Design Themes Throughout Guest Rooms Spaces
When thinking about relaxation and comfort in hotel guest rooms, you may imagine a uniform look without any contrasting elements. Hotel bathrooms are the perfect spaces that can tie in a design theme to give a seamless appearance. For example, you may have Brushed Bronze accents in the bathroom such as towel racks, hooks, and sink/tub fixtures. Carry this elegant design into the guest bedroom by placing in beautiful gold-tone bedposts and mirrors with black wood headboards as showpieces that tie in the theme of both spaces.
Dia® Brushed Bronze Bathroom Accessories offer a uniform look to a space so that nothing looks out of place.
In addition to appearance, also consider functionality when tying in the bathroom and guest bedroom spaces. Well-known hotel chains such as Hilton and Marriott are looking at technologies that can be incorporated into bathrooms.
According to USA Today, Hilton’s vice president of design believes future hotel bathrooms will have built-in speakers with Bluetooth capabilities that can sync with guests’ smartphones. People who listen to music in the bedroom can continue listening to it in the bathroom at the same audio level when bathing or grooming their hair.
At Marriott’s Innovation Lab, they are in the testing phase of placing programmable capabilities in common room features. One feature would allow yoga videos to play on guest bedroom mirrors. The mirror will be programmed to automatically turn on the shower when the video ends so the guest can wash off after their workout.
Open Bathroom Designs to Increase Spaciousness and Visual Interest
Open design concepts are still the rage. Having a bathroom that can be seen and accessed from the bedroom easily is highly desired by many people. Open-concept bathroom design can help increase the spaciousness of hotel rooms, especially in smaller economy and standard guest rooms.
If going for an open-concept bathroom design, increase the visual interest of the room. Go beyond just having a functional space. You want the shower/bathroom to be conversation fodder since word-of-mouth from previous satisfied guests can help sell hotel rooms. When promoting your hotel spaces on social media sites such as Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat, show the best visual side of your interior design.
Hotel bathroom design trends can make ordinary guest rooms into extraordinary experiences. Consider the above ideas to create a bathroom that guests will find visually appealing as they will want to return again.
