When considering hotel furniture hotel operators must decide whether the United Kingdom to find a large hotel chain or a sole proprietor, a balance between the choice of hotel chairs and tables, which has a quality that attracts customers and encourages them to return and recommend the hotel to their friends think that the cost and affordable enough for them to erase any advantage that can make the replacement of the old hotel furniture. In these tough economic times in which the banks in theirmore careful consideration of new loans this is particularly important, and many private owners may consider moving extensions until the economy improves.
Many may not be able - if their hotel furniture for the point is that it is worn then the owner has little space - could mean disaster, because they lose their customers and then keep their earnings. Of course, another consideration is that the British economy has led to catastrophic rapid and sharp declinethe value of the GB Pound again every major world currency, especially the U.S. Dollar and the Euro.
While this has had a real negative effect in terms of the cost of hotel furniture from the USA, Europe and the Far East, the positive effect is that U.K residents considering a holiday for their family this year are sure to be aware of how much extra a holiday to any European country will cost them and must have heard horror stories from their friends about how much more a pint or a meal costs now, let along accommodation if they are arranging this themselves. So there will be many potential holidaymakers in the UK planning a British holiday this year rather than a US or European one. So for the coastal trade and established areas of tourism this must be good news this year with rising demand giving the hotel owner the opportunity to enjoy high occupancy and even - heaven forbid - increase their room rates a little.
Right now there is a bewildering range of hotel furniture available. A simple internet search of hotel furniture will bring up many Companies offering anything from the most modern to the most traditional ranges of hotel chairs and tables in wood or steel, fully upholstered or with solid seat. When choosing a style that is right for their hotel the owner can consider the kind of client that they are attracting already and think if they need to keep the style the same or make changes to reinforce the style they have created or make changes in order to attract a different kind of customer. Of course the interior of the rooms must play a part in their choice too, as a hotel with oak timbered rooms is likely to look more than a little strange with modern chrome plated stacking chairs and steel framed tables!
A traditional hotel looks very attractive with wooden chairs for the bar area, with wooden framed bar chairs with some upholstery at least, traditional designs like the 'Mates' or 'Captains' chairs being favoured. With these, wooden framed tables with turned wooden legs can be bought in a variety of sizes, round, rectangular or square. Because these are made of natural timber they can be finished in any colour from the natural shade of the timber used through to an attractive rich brown walnut, deep red mahogany or dark Jacobean oak colour. So whatever interior style the dining room has, the hotel tables and chairs can be made to complement it.
For the breakfast and dining areas steel framed chairs and tables are often chosen because they offer good strength at a low price and the chairs can be bought as stacking chairs to give the added advantage of being stackable to save space when the room is required for another function. Right now there is fierce competition between Companies selling this kind of chair, so prices are at their lowest for many years. The frames are available made of steel or aluminium which is lighter but carries a premium in terms of price. These chairs are available with a wide choice of colours, the most popular being gold, silver or black. Recently special printed coatings are also available, so a wooden effect can be achieved. With these chairs it is important to remember that when they are stacked they are heavy, so it is necessary to buy a transport trolley so that staff members can move them without risk of injury. These are not expensive and are often given free of charge with a large order of chairs if the customer requests it.
When choosing the hotel furniture for the bedrooms, the most welcoming look is created with real wooden framed beds and drawer units. Once again, since the recession hit, many Companies are competing hard to retain sales so the hotel owner should be looking for good discounts.
The cheapest timbers for bedroom hotel furniture are rubberwood, from Malaysia and China and Sheesham or Thakat wood from India. These are acceptable timbers for furniture use and again can be stained to colours from natural light colour through to dark Jacobean oak. Good medium priced timbers available are Ashwood, Oakwood and Birchwood, all of which can be bought from factories using ecologically sourced timber farms.
For the more exotic timbers like Mahogany, Kingwood, Rosewood and Cedar, deals are available, but the purchaser should consider the effect buying new furniture of this kind has on the remaining rainforests, as these slow growing timbers are very rarely available ecologically sourced and any claims to that effect should be treated with the greatest suspicion.
