How to decorate a hotel: three styles compared

In our previous column, we looked at how to create the perfect decor for our B&B, furnishing its few rooms in a distinctive, original way while linking them with a common theme.

Unlike a B&B, hotels are buildings that can vary enormously in size and number of rooms. That's why they need a particular kind of decor that immerses guests in a unique atmosphere.

You'll need to aim for a consistent look throughout the building, and in this Pixtury guide we'll suggest an interesting way to do it well. Throughout the article, we'll recommend a range of designer pictures for decorating the various rooms of your hotel, all available to buy online directly from our gallery.

Decorating your hotel in romantic style for a lovers' getaway

If your hotel is in the countryside, or in the beautiful historic centre of a remote village, all you need to do is create a true love nest: a romantic, welcoming setting is just what's needed to turn your guests' trip into a relaxing escape, far from the routine of home and, above all, from the stress of the city. The rooms should be painted in soft colours, preferably cool ones such as lilac, to create a perfectly cosy atmosphere, perhaps reminiscent of the Japanese decor of a Zen home. To create an elegant, refined style, it's important to choose carefully the pictures and hotel prints for the various spaces.

You can add a touch of originality with the romantic prints we recommend below.

Modern pop style for formal hotel decor

Is your hotel close to offices and used mainly by business travellers? A fresh, contemporary style is the one for you. The main theme will be a contemporary take on the pop decor typical of the 1970s: the colours will be strong and bold, such as red, white and black paired together. The shades shouldn't be muted, but glossy and clean.

The architecture prints we recommend feature forms that are perfect for urban-inspired decor, and they should be strictly monochrome:

How to decorate a seaside hotel

Our last style is the most classic: if your hotel is near a seaside resort, fresh and cheerful decor is just what you need! Take inspiration from Pixtury's guide to decorating a seaside home with original pictures.

First of all, we recommend painting the walls with a white base for a striking, clean and fresh total white look, paired with combinations of warm colours such as orange and yellow.

The prints should feature the sea and its characteristics, as these photographers have done in the sea prints section of our gallery.
