We use thoughtful materials, vintage finds, and purposeful design choices to build interiors that hold personality without feeling overworked. Whether you're designing a new boutique hotel or refreshing an existing property, we craft interiors that align with your brand and enhance every guest’s experience.

Our Hotel Interior Design Services
Our role as an interior designer for hotels is to create spaces that feel smart, inviting, and designed to last. We offer a full range of hotel interior design and hotel interior decorating services to support both new builds and renovations, always prioritizing how a space feels and functions for real guests.
Hotel Interior Design Services
We approach hotel interior design with the goal of building spaces that are intuitive, grounded, and warm. Every design decision — from the layout to the materials — is made with the guest experience and the rhythm of daily operations in mind. Our services are designed to help boutique hotels and independent properties create interiors that feel both personal and highly functional.
Our hotel interior design services include:
Space Planning and Layout Design: Designing layouts that support guest flow and operational efficiency.
Materials and Finishes Selection: Choosing durable, textured materials like wood, linen, and natural stone that age beautifully.
Custom Furniture and Millwork Design: Creating reception desks, built-in seating, and other bespoke pieces that anchor your space.
Lighting Design: Layering ambient, task, and accent lighting to support mood and movement throughout the hotel.
Art and Accessory Curation: Sourcing vintage, antique, and modern pieces to add personality without feeling overly styled.
Hotel Interior Decorating Services
Once the foundational design work is complete, we layer in the details that bring character and comfort to a hotel. Our hotel interior decoration services focus on furniture, textiles, colors, and styling elements that make the space feel welcoming and memorable. We believe in creating grounded, textural environments where every piece has a purpose and supports the overall experience.
Our hotel interior decorating services include:
Furniture Sourcing and Styling: Selecting comfortable, layered furnishings like worn-in leather seating, vintage side tables, and lounge pieces.
Textile and Soft Goods Selection: Choosing bedding, upholstery, and window treatments that bring warmth, texture, and durability to every room.
Color Palette Development: Building calm, rich palettes that guide the mood of a space and feel welcoming rather than sterile.
Final Styling and Installation: Overseeing the final layer of styling to ensure a cohesive, thoughtful finish that feels authentic to your hotel’s identity.
Why Interior Design Matters in the Hospitality Industry
In the hospitality industry, interior design is more than aesthetics — it’s a strategic tool that shapes the guest experience. Thoughtfully designed spaces can drive first impressions, create emotional connections, and encourage repeat visits. A well-designed hotel feels intuitive and welcoming, blending comfort, functionality, and brand identity. We approach each project with this in mind, layering rich materials, creating purposeful layouts, and incorporating distinctive details that reflect the soul of your property.
