Accommodation & Hotel Interior Design Trends For 2023

Interior design in hotels plays a vital role in making your guests feel welcome, comfortable and invited. The line between good interior design and bad interior design can be what determines whether your guests will want to return or be a cautionary tale to anyone who plans on staying. Choosing a hotel can be a stressful process, whether you’re travelling for business or for pleasure; you want to feel comfortable in order to have one less thing to worry about. If done right, your accommodation can be a home away from home for those who choose to stay with you. 

Whether you own a hotel or a bed and breakfast, choosing the right theme for your premises can seem like a daunting process, as that creates the first impression for your guests. Colour scheme, furniture and the overall theme of your rooms need to be considered carefully before you commit to a decision in order to produce the right impression. 

If you’re unsure about where to start, we at Plover Cottage have compiled a list of interior design trends for 2023, that you can implement in your accommodation.

Sustainability Interior Design Trends

It may seem like no surprise that sustainability is on the rise. With more of the public being more conscious of climate change and the effects their actions have on the planet, many people are opting for a more eco-friendly way of doing things. When it comes to hotel interior design, if you aim for sustainability, it will be much appreciated amongst your guests who are more planet conscious. Sustainability as an interior design trend is rising in popularity especially amongst the younger generation, who are said to be more environmentally conscious than the previous generations.

One of the ways in which you can implement more sustainable interior design options in your hotel are using natural materials such as bamboo, which is known to be more durable than other materials. Bamboo flooring or walls have many benefits to your interior as it will not only last a long time making it a more cost effective option, but it also looks fresh and opens up the room.

Another sustainable interior design tip is upholstering; taking an old piece of furniture and making it into something unique by either adding a new material to make it appear new, or changing its functions entirely and turning it into a completely different piece of furniture. This prolongs the life of the existing item, as you may have thrown it out yet now you’ve found an entirely new use for it. This tip is also cost effective as it saves you from having to buy something new to replace it. The reusability of objects found in your home has grown in popularity since the covid-19 pandemic, with people finding unique and creative ways to spice up their homes while also being sustainable. Giving items a second life in your hotel will also be useful if you’re in the process of redecorating on a budget.

The art of minimalism is all about the lack of clutter, and achieving more of a clean look to your rooms. Being popular for the past few years, it’s clear that minimalism is here to stay moving into 2023. The simplicity of this design can create a calming impression on your guests, helping them to relax when staying at your hotel. This trend is not just pleasing to the eye, it also is perfect for functionality, with the lack of excessive decor everything in this space has a purpose, keeping the room simple.

A monochrome colour scheme pairs well with this design concept; the aim is to create as little distractions to the eye as possible. Crisp white walls add a sense of tranquillity, removing excessive noise that can come with elaborate interior designs. 

Following a minimalistic design scheme isn’t as expressive as the other trends listed here and lacks room for creativity, however this trend is popular for a reason; the calming effect this has on those staying in a room with this theme is perfect for guests who find trouble with falling asleep when sleeping away from home. Feeling relaxed, your guests will appreciate a good night’s sleep!
