Hotel Lighting<\/a><\/p>\n

Designers and architects know that lighting is a vital element in creating a real impact and this is no less true in designing for the hotel and leisure industry. As well as aesthetic considerations there will also be issues of cost, efficiency and health and safety.<\/p>\n

Our aim at Bespoke Lights is to provide a range of styles to suit whatever ambience you wish to create, whilst still meeting your commercial requirements. Although various areas of a hotel have difference functional needs, we can offer appropriate products that will give you or your clients a unique but cohesive brand identity. We supply products for all sizes of operation but here we are looking at lighting for boutique hotels<\/a>, small privately owned hotels and guest houses and offer our suggestions for suitable lights for the different areas.<\/p>\n

Just as each area of your hotel will have different functions, so the lighting needs will vary. Lighting schemes for guest bedrooms, reception, front of house, restaurants, bars, shops and coffee shops will all need to be tailored to the specific requirements of that area. All will need functional lights to provide the basic illumination but there is a fantastic opportunity for decorative lighting of walls, ceilings and any special features to create the atmosphere that is such a crucial element in the hospitality sector.<\/p>\n

We are concentrating here on the decorative aspect of lighting but rest assured that all our lights meet all relevant British Standard regulations. One legal requirement that is worth mentioning however is the need for emergency lighting which is activated when there is a failure in the mains power supply, giving guests the light to safely evacuate the building. Functional emergency lights are freely available but are frankly not the prettiest of lights and can strike a discordant note in an otherwise attractive design. If you agree, and have struggled to find that elusive thing, decorative emergency lighting, contact our Contract Lighting Team here at Bespoke Lights and we will work with you to provide you with what you need sales@bespokelights.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Privately run hotels do not have to conform to any corporate image and can, and should, be unique and creative with their interior d\u00e9cor. This individual approach has given rise to the \u2018Boutique Hotel Revolution\u2019. This braver and bolder style throws off the traditional hotel style, giving guests a chance to experience design statements they\u2019d never try at home. Guests are willing to pay a little more for the pleasure. Large hotels and chains are now also looking for this individuality and heightened experience but boutique and privately owned hotels can change their decor quickly, adapting to the latest trends. Bespoke Lights will do all we can to help!<\/p>\n

Here are some thoughts for lighting different areas of boutique and privately owned hotels. We hope that this is helpful but if there is anything we haven’t covered, or you want to discuss your specific needs, just give us a call. Whatever your lighting\u00a0requirement, we’ll work with you to find the best solution. Put in some contact details?<\/span><\/p>\n
