How 'Resimercial' is redefining hospitality spaces...
In today's fast-paced world, the hospitality industry in India (including hotels, receptions, cafes, restaurants and bars) has evolved far beyond functionality, focusing on creating spaces that offer memorable experiences. Furniture, colours, and materials play a crucial role in setting the tone, and innovative designs are being conceived to provide the perfect balance of style, comfort, and durability.
Shades of Hospitality
Current trends are shifting towards earthy, warm tones that evoke feelings of comfort and cosiness. Hues like terracotta, muted golds, emerald greens, deep blues and soft blush are making a strong impact, as they provide a calm and grounded vibe, perfectly suited for relaxing environments.
These tones work beautifully in hospitality settings, where combining varied textures and finishes within a cohesive colour palette adds depth and leaves a memorable impression. Mixing these shades with natural materials or contrasting them with subtle metallic accents can bring out the richness of the overall design, enhancing both the visual and tactile experience for guests.

Kill The Snake, Don't Break The Stick!
Banquet Managers bump up pricing to cash in on the peak season and hit sales targets. Due to the high demand, and limited supply, guests are forced to pay exorbitant rates. But often guests don’t receive value-for-money and feel cheated. They may never return and even share their experience online.
