From hotel furniture upholstery to window treatment, almost every area of your hotel or resort makes use of fabrics. Ever changing style trends and technological advancements are changing the way that the hospitality industry selects and applies fabrics and materials throughout their properties. What can you expect from hotel fabrics this year? Read on.
The Luxury Look For Hotels & Resorts
Hotel and Resort designers are finding cost-efficient ways to bring a new and luxurious look to hotel fabrics. Of course, they must also always keep durability in mind.
Velvet gives off a classy aesthetic and feel. However, the fabric is expensive and not really made to endure the frequent usage that occurs in hotels and resorts. As such, many properties are opting instead for velveteen, velour (or a combination of the two). These fabrics have a similar velvet look without compromising durability. Some brands also use a blend of different materials such as polyester, rayon, and cotton while making sure to include viscose to give the fabric an ultra-soft feel.
Another way to add a luxurious look is through artisan hand-made fabrics. This may be crocheted or hand-sewn textiles. Of course, these pieces are extremely high-priced and lack durability. To achieve a similar look in hotel interior design, some designers are choosing several unique patterns and printing them on various types of base cloth. The kind of base cloth depends on the application.

Fashion-forward Fabrics For Your Hotel
Much of what’s popular in fabric design follows the trends of the fashion industry. This could be bold, statement-making patterns such as animal print, large floral prints, or abstract patterns. While fabric patterns may be bold, trending colors are less so. Softer palettes such as dusty rose are coming back into style, together with neutral colors like greys, pale blues, or off-whites. Hotel fabrics often use a combination of wild and mild, which might pair a more pastel toned sofa with lively accent pillows.
