Selecting artwork to suit your hotel decor may seem daunting, but it is as important as choosing the right furniture. Art contributes to the overall decor and feel of the place and has a great impact on human comfort. Abstract art has a positive effect on the brain, whereas art showing nature can do wonders for small spaces or areas without a great view. You don’t always need an art consultant as the artists or suppliers can curate the images for you based on the theme, your brand, and the message you want to convey to the guests. At Ready Images, we have team members with years of architecture experience who put together the proposals for businesses. Reach out anytime for any of your small or large projects and we will be very happy to help at no cost.

Here are the top 5 reasons why it is important to have artwork in the hotel –

1. To have a competitive edge
2. To have a ‘wow’ factor as the guests walk-in
3. To keep up with times
4. To make a room feel larger
5. Give insights to local surroundings

1. To have a competitive edge – Most hotels use art to stand out from their competition. Art can help distinguish your brand. By selecting a good quality art you can offer something memorable to your guests.

2. To have a ‘wow’ factor as the guests walk in – Having a ‘hero’ piece in the entry/ reception area can significantly improve the first impression. Fun pieces of art can give a remarkable character the guests enjoy. Careful selection of artwork to signify the brand and experience you want to create for your guests can help uplift how the hotel is perceived and remembered.

3. To keep up with times – One of the areas where hotels struggle is to keep it exciting and in line with the current trends. Be open to changing art or even swapping the pieces every now and then to keep it fun. Another option is to go for timeless pieces such as abstract art or images of the local surroundings.

4. To make a room feel larger – No matter how big the room is, having a large wall art makes it feel larger than what it is. You can have an entire feature wall with an image by printing on a wall vinyl or wallpaper. Correct selection of art helps in calming the mind providing extra comfort to the space making you the first choice for your guests.

5. Give insights to local surroundings – Artwork can transform the hotel into a gallery where guests learn about the local area. It can help talk about the history and identity of the area. Having a series of local photos on a wall in the reception or restaurant area can be a nice conversation starter and your guests will definitely thank you for additional information. After all, we all enjoy knowing more about our surroundings every day.
