When it comes to capital expenditure (CAPEX) in the hospitality industry, every decision counts. Smart investments can enhance guest experiences, improve efficiency, and ensure long-term savings.
When planning for renovations, selecting the right furniture is crucial for both functionality and long-term savings. Our Supplier partner Arthur Weggeman, Project Manager at NORM, provides insights into selecting durable, sustainable, and cost-effective furniture.
Choose Plug-and-Play Furniture
Plug-and-play furniture arrives ready to use, which speeds up installation and reduces downtime. For hotels, this means rooms are available faster, minimising revenue loss during renovations.
Invest in Long-Lasting Materials
Select furniture with scratch-resistant surfaces and vandalism-proof features, especially in high-traffic areas. This ensures your investment lasts longer and reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Arthur, a Project Manager at NORM, notes, “Furniture in hotels needs to withstand rough use. Features like strong connections and dense materials are crucial.”
Eco-Friendly Options
Incorporate sustainability into your furniture selection by choosing materials that are 100% recyclable and FSC-approved.
Prioritise Efficiency
When planning renovations or installations, it’s important to consider the time involved to minimise disruption and ensure rooms are quickly back in service.
Arthur notes, “NORM offers a time-saving bathroom renovation solution that can transform 15 bathrooms in just one week with a two-person team, which ensures rooms are swiftly ready for use again.”
Balanced Aesthetics
When designing hotel rooms, it’s important to balance aesthetics with functionality. Lighter wood or uni-colour finishes can create a welcoming atmosphere, especially when matched with complementary paint and panelling.
Consider Custom-Made Furniture
Custom-made furniture allows you to create pieces that perfectly match your design vision and operational requirements. Whether it’s a unique layout, specific materials, or integrating technology like concealed cables, custom solutions ensure that your furniture not only looks great but functions perfectly within your space.
