How To Create A Unique Hotel Lobby Design

Hotel lobby design has been changing over the course of the last few years, as the average tourist and hotel customer has shifted from the Baby Boomer to the Gen Xer to the most current generation, Millennials. The prepackaged hotel lobby design of the Baby Boomer generation and the Gen Xers have now shifted to the hand-tufted touch of authentic-craftsmanship-needs of the Millennial.

Because of this change (Millennials now make up well over 50 percent of the hotel guests), the design of the hotel lobby has to follow suit to what this particular generation expects.  

Hotel Lobby Design: The Social Space

The hotel lobby is becoming the social space for both work and for play (like Starbucks before). The lobby is now transforming into a more communal space that can be occupied by more people for socializing and food serving. Since the lobby will have more foot traffic, this would require the use of a more durable material to prevent wear and tear for both area rugs and surfaces such as for tables and chairs.

Vinyl

Hotel Lobby Design

Such durable material that can be used in some cases is vinyl. Here at PierPoint, our vinyls have been tested to meet 200,000 to 500,000 Wyzenbeek Rubs, which is a test to see the durability of fabric. Anything above 30,000 double rubs is highly durable. This means that we offer goods that are well above the industry standards.  

We also offer a wide array of vinyl that comes in a variety of colors, patterns and textures.

What This Means for You

At PierPoint, we assist you in making sure that your design for those unique spaces are not only durable but comfortable. Our vinyls give you that option. Some look and feel like fabrics while others may make you wonder if they are leather.

Why a Customized Hospitality Area Rug Can Help the Customer Experience

When it comes to your hotel, one of the last things on your mind may be the importance of a customized area rug in your lobby. But this should not be your final thought; it should be your first. Area rugs offer a great way to segment spaces in a large area or to make certain areas a little more intimate, all without needing walls.

The hotel experience has changed drastically over the last couple of years. The hotel lobby has moved beyond just an area to simply check-in; spaces have evolved to be more of a great room for socializing and gatherings.

We are seeing the F&B merge into this area to further enhance the guest experience.

The Consumer

The consumer has changed over the years. Before, consumers wanted a more escapist approach when it came to their travel; but with the resurgence of a new generation—the Millennials—experiences are what the consumer is looking for.

 Customized Hospitality Area Rug

Millennials make up a good one-third of the tourist and traveling population, which means catering to the needs of this new generation is a priority that hoteliers cannot miss out on.
