The Position of FF&E in Hotel Design
As FF&E covers a wide range of areas and has many technical requirements in design, FF&E designers should maintain close communication and cooperation with interior designers, and form a harmonious and comfortable space together with interior design on the basis of fully considering the interior design style and the requirements of owners and managers.
1. Plan
The planning stage is the need to analyze the space area and then put forward the corresponding requirements. For example, public areas should be spacious, open design needs to achieve functional use, and consider changes in arrangement; The ballroom and the conference hall have no columns; Number of rooms between floors and fire safety factor; Noise isolation and interference, etc.

2. Design Concept
FF&E designers should generally arrange the functions and the overall layout of the hotel, and then elaborate the style, characteristics and key design parts of the hotel, including the effect prediction of key areas and the selection of furniture. FF&E designers can show their ideas through diagrams.The process of making concept boards by FF&E designers is the initial thinking of FF&E.

3. Design Development
The design development stage is the in-depth stage of the design concept, which requires FF&E designers to design every area of the interior. The perspective of all the required spaces shall be completed according to the requirements of the customer from the plane section drawing, elevation drawing to the detail node drawing. The display of FF&E should be detailed to each space.

5. Construction and installation
Construction and installation is the last step of project implementation. FF&E designers must provide on-site construction guidance and instructions, answer questions that arise on the construction site, and have a vertical understanding of the entire project. The construction and installation of FF&E are carried out in the later stage of interior fixed decoration, so it is mainly reflected in the selection and installation of construction materials.The procurement designer shall provide detailed technical specifications and samples for procurement in the design document process.

1. Space and function
FF&E designers need to grasp the unique elements of each category of space, such as curved windows and well-lit lobbies. These characteristic space elements will become the design focus of designers. Different functional areas have different hardware, so they will bring inspiration and innovation to the interior design of the hotel.

2. Proportion and symmetry
For the space in the hotel, the coordination of proportion is one of the important ways for designers to express the interior space. Sculptures, ornaments, carpets and other components can play a role in filling the space. These elements often need to be larger than the proportion of the human body to appear magnificent.Designers also need to pay attention to how to use the decoration of the interior space to achieve a symmetrical visual effect.

3. Color and texture
The key to color and texture is contrast. Interior designers tend to use more subtle contrast materials to contrast, thus making the interior space more abundant. To highlight the material, you can also use lights to create an effect. For example, materials such as leather and polished metal have different textures under light. In terms of color,The collocation of cold and warm tones and overall tones requires higher requirements, requiring different tones to reflect different styles and characteristics.

4. Lighting and Decorative Lamps
Lighting design requires designers to closely cooperate with the interior design style. Under different functions, the lighting effect requirements of space settings are also different. Therefore, designers must follow this principle to design. For example, the interior design of Western restaurants in hotels requires the use of warm light sources to illuminate food.The dining tables of independent restaurants need to be illuminated with cool colors and high CRI lights.
