Hotels and Restaurants have a major part of their décor
decorated with paintings on the walls. Wall art is one of the most important
aspect of decorating a hotel suite or room as colors have to be sober and not
too much decoration is allowed keeping in mind the customer needs for the stay
in hotels. Here you will find painting selecting tips and hanging tips for
paintings in hotels and restaurants.
Think from the customer point of view while selecting any
painting for hotel. People come to stay, relax , have food in your restaurant
or hotel. The whole purpose of the hotel stay may be relaxing and paintings
with too over powering colors and themes are not appreciated and create more
yang energy which is good in board room but not in a suite. Select paintings
that have a general universal appeal and are pleasing to the eye.
Many hoteliers and owners of hotel chains of restaurants prefer
buying prints of original paintings as many people come and go and as customer
is king for hotel rooms you may not be able to handle the children of bigger
families staying at your hotel rooms. Select art keeping in mind what will
appeal to your customers and not what you like as a hotel owner. General themes
in paintings of still life, landscapes are ever green welcomed for hotels and
floral paintings also do well. Abstract colorful paintings are also a good
choice which helps to maintain the mood of the hotel suite along with the
décor.
Select the appropriate size of the painting according to the
hotel lobby or private suite room size. Too small an artwork will go unnoticed
and too large painting will be misfit and create overpowering energy. You must
also avoid hanging canvas paintings in hotels and prefer hanging paintings or
prints of paintings covered with glass. This will help in keeping the artwork clean
and also protect from physical damage from the customers in way of touching or
spilling food.
Select themes that are happy and colorful for the hotel
lobby and reception area. Here you require more positive feng shui yang energy
to have more business as customers. Red, orange, yellows and browns, gold go
well to improve energy in the reception area, so choose paintings with these colours
in mind. Landscapes and floral still life’s are best for private rooms and
suites. Avoid landscapes showing dried scenes, lonely sad paintings, paintings
depicting war, storms floods, drought, must be avoided, however famous the
artist work it may be, as this may bring bad feng shui luck to hotel business.
Paintings must be firmly tied with good supportive frames
that protect the artwork from dust, grime, fumes and oils produced in the hotel
restaurant areas. Hang paintings at the right height where the painting can be
viewed comfortable while sitting or standing and also does not come in direct
contact with the body of the viewer, as we all know it is very difficult for
the viewer to control the urge to touch an artwork, especially when they are
small children and pets!
