Study Notes

Furniture Styles

Modern style emerged in the early 20th century and includes multiple sub-styles: minimalist (simplistic, clean, and monochromatic), relaxed modern (combines natural colors and fabrics for a clean, comfortable look), and others.

Biophilic Design

Biophilic design connects humans with nature in the modern built environment.
Essential elements include plants, animals, water features, natural light, and views of the outside environment.
This design approach acknowledges humans' inherent need to affiliate with nature.
Biophilic design can be achieved through elements like brewing hot coffee, lighting candles, offering freshly baked snacks, and playing soft music.

Hotel Lobby Design

Creating communal spaces where guests can co-mingle with locals and staff can evolve the hotel lobby beyond a check-in/check-out area.
Hybrid lounge and dining spaces can coexist with libraries, outdoor terraces, and convenience corners.
Allocating a section for working can cater to digital nomads and business travelers.

Open Floor Space

The amount of open floor space in a hotel lobby requires a delicate balance between design and practicality.
Too little space makes the lobby feel cramped, while too much space makes it feel empty.
Aim for enough open floor space to accommodate 10-15% of the hotel's guest capacity at any given time.

Furniture Types and Styles

Furniture styles can be categorized into historical, modern, and contemporary.
Historical styles include Jacobean (dark wood finishes and geometric designs), William and Mary (elaborate woodwork), Queen Anne (smaller, lighter, and more delicate), Louis XVI (straight lines and symmetrical patterns), and Victorian (dark finishes, ornate upholstery, and eclectic shapes).
Furniture styles depend on the hotel's brand, surrounding area, and property architecture.
