Hospitality means more than just the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests when it comes to business. In the industry, hospitality means creating the right atmosphere and letting guests discover a soothing and comforting world of beauty and tranquillity. Whether it is a hotel, restaurant or resort, designing a warm, attractive hotel experience is essential for creating a unique customer experience. And in that, ‘light’ plays an important role. The lighting of any space not only plays a role in the luminosity and beauty of the staying venue, but it also creates the perfect atmosphere and landscape.

Improper lighting levels

Improper and insufficient lighting can make people feel uncomfortable and insecure. While excessive light can cause too much of a glow causing headaches or strain on the eyes, lack of artificial light can harm a place’s natural perception and energy. For a customer, proper light levels help them identify areas that meet their needs and select the right place for their tasks.

Here we discuss some of the emerging lighting trends that hospitality businesses can adopt to give their customers a renewed sense of comfort.

Continuous innovation and exploration of new channels have inspired lighting manufacturers to develop standard and highly innovative lighting solutions.

In addition to the traditional ceiling and wall lamps, designers in the industry have created attractive hotel environments by using many decorative solutions.

Arc lighting

Arc, or concealed lighting, has become an integral part of a lighting system that compensates for glare or dim lighting from pendant lamps. Arc lighting helps distribute the light evenly in a room. This sort of lighting solution helps in focusing and illuminating sculptures, artwork, table designs and more. It adds to the general lighting of hotel space and creatively innovates a hospitality business’s landscape.

Multi-level lighting

Multi-level lighting designs include many decorative and designer light levels, table lamps, floor lamps, artistic walls, lampshades, etc. Moreover, the new LED technology enabled lights allow designers to create creative lamps of any shape and shade to match the overall themes of businesses.

Pendant lights

The pendant lights, or hanger lights, are hung from any part of the ceiling of a hotel or such places. Businesses can use it with a bed, a corner sofa in the bedroom or an armchair in the living room to create a ‘new’ feeling of beauty for customers. Such lighting schemes give designers an open space to practice new and imaginative shapes that mainly cover the roof.

Decorative ceiling lights

Decorative ceiling lights are the primary source of ambient lighting in the hospitality industry. There are many options for this light source, including chandeliers, lamps, bulbs, and others. New designers are mixing the timeless classics of chandeliers and modern geometry to form combinations of patterns or abstract designs. This is all intended to attract customers and give them new attention points while staying at a place.

Regular electrical maintenance

Most high-end hotels and a majority of mid-size hospitality businesses use highly sophisticated glass fixtures for light purposes. Often such designs are easily damaged during the cleaning process, making them difficult for the users to use and guests to experience. Maintenance of glass fixtures on high ceilings and complex designs of chandeliers is a critical task.

Taking care of such aspects and paying attention to emerging trends can help hospitality businesses go a long way in their business journey. As COVID recedes globally, it is incumbent upon companies to ramp up operations and delve into the realms of creativity to give the pandemic-fatigued customers a new inspiration to travel and explore the world.
