One of the necessities of lighting is to increasingly know how to combine the choice of materials with energy efficiency, which brings undeniable advantages in the short and long term: it also involves a marketing aspect that you should not underestimate.

 

Now let's find out what are the main trends to focus on for the complete design.

 

Hotel lighting trends

The ideal lighting depends first and foremost on the nature, character, and differentiating elements of the hotel. The positive experience of a hotel depends largely on the visual impact: the light determines its quality and has a very specific impact on our unconscious reactions.

 

You must take into account a wide range of factors in your design: the limits of glare, the distribution of light bodies, the color and relative color rendering of light, and the correct direction of light. In fact, using light means accompanying the user with 360 degrees of movement, so using both shadows and darkness will help you create the right contrast: creative and emotional use of light becomes the basis.

 

Let's see how to illuminate the various parts that make up a hotel and then analyze the ideal lighting for each type of hotel.

 Hotel Lobby Lighting

How to illuminate a hotel lobby?

The hotel lobby, usually considered a place of access, a simple transit to reach the rooms of the structure or other rooms, is actually a very important space because it provides the first impression of the hotel, it makes it clear to guests where to find, the message and the type of hotel. The lighting that you will design will be able to convey exactly the image that the hotel wants to give to its guests.

 

Therefore, it is crucial to design the right hotel lighting: depending on the characteristics of the hotel, you may choose to illuminate the reception desk with the main light or use warm and welcoming lights with contrasting colors and warm tones as if inviting you to lower your voice and respect the intimacy of the place.

 

The hotel lighting will be softer as it will guide guests and help them easily identify where items are stored in the reception or living room. As for the quality of the light, the hall must strike a balance between vertical and horizontal lighting: a certain brightness of the material will help soften the shadows created by the luminaries on the reception counter.

Hotel Corridors Lighting

How to illuminate the hotel's corridors?

In corridors, the light must be able to identify the path to the rooms, stairs, or elevator access, so you need to vary the lighting levels, especially if the corridor is long.

 

In these areas, good shielding of ceilings and wall lights is important: lighting plays a strategic role in making the corridor look higher or giving the impression that it is not so long, for example by raising the indirect lighting of the ceiling, light spots, horizontal cutouts, unevenness, etc.
