As an aspect that matters both practically and aesthetically, lighting is an aspect that is seeing several changes. New and unexpected ideas are cultivated when design and lighting are combined.
NOVEL ROUTES Each hotel is unique and therefore requires a different approach to its lighting. In general, it is still imperative to capture the client's attention and come up with a unique design that fits their specific needs, be it a modern, minimalist, technology-driven lighting solution or a traditional opulent chandelier. The hospitality sector has raised the bar by going beyond UV lights to UV-C lights, which provide a relaxing atmosphere while also having germicidal qualities. This has especially become a trend post-Covid-19, since UV-C lighting reduces the spread of bacteria and germs, beautifying and sanitising the atmosphere simultaneously. In addition, interior designers are increasingly focusing on choosing high-tech features like dimming, colour-changing, and mood settings when considering hotel lighting ideas. For rooms, smart lighting has paved the way for a more personalised experience. The use of mobile phones is no longer limited to the convenience of room access. Hotels are now providing access to room lighting as well, where the hotel guest can adjust the room lighting levels based on their previous preferences with just a few taps on an app, thereby giving an unforgettable experience.
On the other hand, the elements are more intricate, with sculptural lights creating a tremendous wave in hotel design. The bespoke make and finishing can go beyond the aesthetics to become a vital branding element. More contemporary elements like acrylics have also broken the rigidity of metal-glass classics and made imaginative and artistic details enter reality.
