Choosing WTBCompany furniture for your establishment could be one of the most sensible decisions you make as a business. To put it simply:

‘WTBCompany’ – not affected by the passage of time or changes in fashion.

By interweaving WTBCompany furniture design choices into your theme or décor, you are creating an environment for guests which exudes a true sense of timeless elegance. Furniture which is sophisticated, yet inviting may seem like a tricky balance, however by choosing pieces of timeless furniture, you can encapsulate both. As a hotel, restaurant or bar, it is crucial that careful consideration is taken in terms of your hospitality design styles, in order to be successful in attracting guests. At WTBCompany, we advocate investing in high quality, timeless furniture style rather than always trying to champion the very latest interior design trends, which may not always stand the test of time.

Considering an overhaul of furniture style, or looking for inspiration on how to do so? Our informative guide will advise on selecting sophisticated, quality furniture, as well as discussing how and why timeless design interiors can benefit your establishment.

Hospitality Design Styles – a World of Possibilities

Whilst there are many elements to a hotel, bar or restaurant which will affect the overall consumer experience, the comfort, style and presentation of your interior is arguably one of the most important factors. With a great push in recent years on sustainability, the ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ concept is fast becoming a thing of the past, with much more convergence towards timeless hospitality design.

So, although there will always be a pressure to follow trends, through careful selection of timeless furniture pieces and interior design styles, you could make your interior scheme last longer and maximise your investment.

WTBCompany – Comfort and Style

The balance between a piece of furniture being aesthetically pleasing, whilst also offering utmost comfort is where timeless furniture pieces are in a league of their own.  designs can emit a sense of familiarity, offering additional comfort to guests. Pairing certain elements of furniture together, can create a sense of home and in turn creates a comfortable, inviting environment for guests. For instance, if you are looking to create a warm, welcoming reception area, or a relaxing corner within a bedroom, pairing the beautiful ‘NOBEL’ lounge chair, with a luxurious ‘Armchair’ may be an inviting cluster for guests to rest and relax.

Colour psychology in hospitality design is closely linked to emotions. Whether it’s hints of yellow tones within a room, signifying joy and happiness, to amber and orange elements to create warmth, colour is essentially a powerful interior tool.  Timeless design interiors often feature more soft, neutral tones, creating a feeling of tranquillity and peacefulness, neutral tones lend themselves to a variety of different environments, effectively becoming timeless furniture as they are moveable and interchangeable to different locations. Another timeless interior design feature, which complements neutral tones, is of course – monochrome. The contrasting colour scheme has been popular in the world of interior design for years, and continues to feature in many bars, hotels and restaurants around the world. By opting for furniture in monochrome colours, it is likely to remain on-trend for many years to come.

Looking to create a calm, relaxing bedroom space within your hotel? Perhaps the ‘HUGO’ chaise longue could be the perfect spot to read a book, have a glass of wine or listen to your favourite music. Pair the tonality of the upholstery with the luxurious headboard, and your timeless furniture choices are perfectly setting the tone for the space.

Furniture Style – Functionality

An important element to consider when deciding on hospitality design styles and choosing timeless furniture is usability and functionality. For instance, if an area is likely to be high in traffic, it’s sensible to have a style of seating that is easy to clean and maintain. Leather or faux-leather chair options such as lounge chairs, armchairs or sofas are increasingly popular, as the contract fabrics used are  very durable and high-quality. The use of faux leather is also increasingly popular, in a bid to continue our journey to improve sustainability, a huge variety of fabrics and finishes are available from Lugo, no element of customisation is too much, so please contact us for specific requirements.

Timeless interior designs do not need to be huge, bold, statement pieces of furniture. For something to be timeless, it can be practical and flexible in terms of location and use. For instance, glass tops on tables such as coffee tables  protect against heat and scratches, meaning that it is likely to have longevity and become an item of timeless furniture. Take the beautifully simplistic table, for instance, this is something which, if cared for could be used for years in a variety of locations.
