Visual perception plays an important role in determining our sense of wellbeing. In a hotel or restaurant, not only the things we see but also the way they are presented contribute significantly to the impression with which we leave the establishment.
First impressions are crucial and that why Lighting is such a key area. Guests have to be able to find their way around easily: they need to be guided to the specific areas of the hotel such as the reception desk, elevators and staircases. Hotel Solutions can advise on lighting for these areas, as well as for the following:
The Hotel Bedroom
The hotel bedroom is a guest’s temporary home and plays a special role in providing a pleasant stay in unfamiliar surroundings. Lighting should therefore be convenient with attractively designed fittings that can lend a distinctive air to a hotel bedroom.
External Facades
For hotels, lighting that is both inviting and helpful in showing the way is extremely important. Many guests arrive in the evening and are not familiar with the locality. Exterior lighting is more than a polite gesture but perhaps it shows the standard of comfort the guest can expect inside.
Reception Areas
The reception area is normally the first place where arriving guests come into contact with hotel staff. Lights should produce a wide angle beam so that faces are clearly discernable.
Corridors
Good lighting in corridors gives us a reassuring sense of security. A great deal of attention should be paid to corridor lighting. It is especially important after dark, allowing guests to find their bedrooms comfortably and with confidence: guests should not be made to feel nervous of what is at the end of the corridor or around the corner!
Restaurants
Lighting is an essential element in creating a certain ambiance in a Restaurant; however you also need to make sure your guests can see the menu and their delicious food! Therefore, creating the appropriate lighting atmosphere calls for careful planning. Right from the outset, full account must be taken on the architectural surroundings and any special functional requirements the new lighting system needs to meet.
Conference Rooms
As every experienced seminar organiser knows, a seminar group’s capacity for alert, active participation is significantly enhanced by an adequately high level of lighting.
Please note: we are also able to offer replacement lamp shades for any of our lights.
