Selecting appropriate furniture can be very time consuming for your new hotel lounge but it could also be enjoyable. It’s an opportunity to put your stamp on the establishment and set the mood for years to come. Your hotel lounge furniture needs to be comfortable and attractive in the eye of your customer not what you would normally choose yourself.

Comfort for your guests is essential during their meal so the seating should have the right amount of padding, have a comfortable seating position with the right height and to be able to adjust the distance between table and chair.Sometimes people make the mistake of buying chunky pieces of furniture that don’t fit very well so are difficult to move.The seating mustn’t be cramped – customers should be able to get up easily without having to squeeze in between furniture. This could upset their own party and also those nearby.It should also be light enough to be moved easily but sturdy enough to provide a seat for even the most robust guest. Materials should be selected with care taking into account the overall look of the hotel lounge – for example squealing chair legs on wooden floors when moved is a little undesirable.Peoples perception of your hotel lounge can be influenced by these small details and can leave a negative impression and they are unsure why.Your tables must be the right size, both to fit into your hotel lounge allowing for optimum use of the space, and also to give the customer a convenient experience.If you have a room with lots of corners, circular tables might be a good option so people can sit in comfort and not feel too cramped.Smaller tables are perfect to cater for couples or those alone. Having a table which is too small is annoying as you find you are constantly having too shuffle things around and occasionally knocking something on the floor.

Another effect of the size of your hotel lounge furniture is the quality of service the customer receives.Large tables and chairs take up a lot of space and can mean that your staff find it difficult to move between groups.This makes service slower and can actually cause accidents if spaces become overcrowded.Measure the furniture first before you buy which will ensure there will be no space issues.It is entirely up to you on the colour and style of the furniture to go into the hotel lounge creating a unique atmosphere.

To get the right balance always remember the customer when making decisions.
