Color in your hospitality decor: walls or furniture as eye-catchers?

When furnishing a hotel or restaurant, sooner or later the question comes up: where do you bring in color? Do you go for expressive walls or let the furniture speak for itself? The great thing is: there is no set answer. It depends entirely on the concept you want to set, the atmosphere you want to evoke and the experience your guests will have.

Color on the walls: powerful and enveloping

An accent wall with a sophisticated painting technique, a soft lime paint or a deep, warm hue can completely transform a room. Pair that with a bar in ceramic or marble, and your interior instantly takes on a rich and luxurious feel. Walls can form a powerful base, against which neutral furniture, such as timeless hospitality chairs and tables, will stand out beautifully.

Color in furniture: playful and inviting

Colors in chairs, tables or custom benches for hospitality draw attention directly to the furnishings themselves. Consider a round custom bench in a striking fabric or organic shapes that add a playful twist. Subtle color accents in upholstery that reference the grain of a marble top or shades in ceramics create harmony and sophistication.

The art of combination

The best often arises in the balance. An understated wall finish combined with outspoken furniture. Or just the opposite: sober, timeless furniture in a space where the walls and bar make the statement. Sometimes one eye-catcher is enough, sometimes it can be a lively interplay of multiple colors and materials.

Sober or outspoken? Always matching your concept

A colorful, hip interior with contrasting hues can feel vibrant and contemporary. But a sober, neutral interior can also be perfect, especially when your kitchen is the starring role and the colors on the board steal the show. This is precisely where the power of a well thought-out project design for hospitality is: the atmosphere always follows from your unique concept.

Practical tips on choosing colors

  • Keep light in mind: colors look different in daylight than in artificial light. Always test in the room itself.
  • Look for durability: choose materials and fabrics that are colorfast and can withstand heavy use.
  • Work with accents: a small color detail in a chair cover or tabletop can connect the entire space.
  • Think in layers: walls, floor, bar, furniture and accessories make up the overall picture. Create harmony.
  • Stay close to the concept: the colors chosen should reinforce the identity of your business , not dominate it.
