It can be time consuming and very expensive choosing hotel reception furniture. It’s not just finding the right sort of furniture you also need to find a reputable supplier.  If the supplier can provide you with good quality products then this helps with the smooth-running and success of your business To make it easier, here are some things to think about when choosing your new furniture

Durability – Your hotel reception furniture needs to be able to stand up to heavy use. Some diners will be large, some will lean back in their chairs and some will drag the chairs across the floor, all of which contributes to the daily wear and tear the furniture is subjected to.

Guest safety is crucial so hotel reception furniture should reflect this Sharp corners, difficult to use items – anything that could cause a potential hazard should be avoided. This includes highly flammable materials that might look nice but perform too well in a fire.

Materials – the materials of your furniture have to look good, in-keeping with the rest of the decor, and also perform their function well. discard any that will wear or look dated within a short period of time but ensure you have durable materials.  For whatever reason hotel receptions have a problem with spillages so they need to be easy to clean

Style – it may be cheaper to choose your furniture first and then design the room around it. Creating the right atmosphere for your customers can be strongly influenced by your furniture choice Unless your going for a cutting-edge, quirky look then classic furniture is a good choice as it will never date.

Contract furniture may be cheaper and you could still get the look you wanted but without paying a premium  Wholesalers are a good place to go for saving money on materials and upholstery dependant on your needs.

Function – you can save on both cost and space by going for multi-functional furniture. To change the layout and create more space for the hotel reception without spending too much time and effort you could go for modular seating and tables Foldable chairs  or fold-out tables will fulfil the same function, perfect for a tight budget as you would only have you buy one piece of furniture to do the work of two

Reputable suppliers of furniture should have some sort of guarantee or warranty Your furniture will be repaired or replaced for any faults caused by normal usage. If a supplier tries to supply a good product they should offer you these guarantees. If you’re not presented with one beware!
