One of the most common downfalls of hotel lighting design is poor planning. However, the layout of a hotel holds immense significance to the finished design. The dimensions, contours and architectural elements of each space should all inform the choice of lighting, ensuring there is sufficient brightness in every hotel room.
When looking at the layout, it is also important to consider where any natural light is coming from. Creating a balance between natural light and artificial light will ensure that the space gracefully adapts to the varying times of day. After all, you don’t want there to be good lighting in the morning and poor lighting in the evening. This is best achieved with various sources of ambient lighting throughout the space, providing consistent illumination.
