Compared to a house, lighting places whose aim is to temporarily receive guests, such as hotels, spa, tourist centers, has several peculiarities. First of all we should think about the psychological impact of artificial light compared to natural light on people.
In a hotel during the day people are attracted by the interior design, by furnishings, shapes and colors. But at night the hotel has a second dimension, since the guest needs to stay in a safe, comfortable and protected atmosphere, but even relaxing, clean and efficient. It's clear that only artificial lighting can satisfy this mix of needs.
So the first thing to do is assure the highest comfort both to guests and to the staff. The hotel in fact is a place of work and as such it has to lighted, even if the lighting elements which assure a good view to the staff have to harmonize with the characteristics of a pleasant lighting for the hotel guests and have to be able to adequately vaporize the different areas.
A reception for example is a place that has to immediately draw the attention of the guest, as soon as he enter the hotel. Its lighting has to be at the same time attractive and impressive, with decorative elements that communicate the quality level of the services at disposal of the guest.
It's fundamental to have a good lighting of vertical surfaces and to limit horizontal lighting of working surfaces, in particular those of the reception. On the wall behind the concierge there should be much light since this is an element which draw the attention of the customer.
The interior design business works upon the aesthetic and architectural solutions for enhancing the residential, commercial or industrial interiors. Interior designing is a vast field that includes other aspects of managing interiors, like the decoration, correct placement of articles, keeping a balance between the color schemes, using the right furniture. Regardless of the style that has been adopted for a room, it should be seen that the styling is complete. Some designers often follow themes based on period styles, like international, Indian art and Victorian style. The designing completely depends upon the requirements of the customer. Each one should be flexible in their own ways. The decorative items used while designing are chosen by keeping the taste of the dweller in mind.
The sense of interior designing and decoration comes naturally to people who have an artistic slant of mind. They are very creative and innovative in their own ways. Just for the sake of specializations, some people study designing at graduation level; deciding at a later time in their lives to pursue it as a career. It is obviously a growing profession that has a lot potential growth in the future years. The designers and decorators are more systematic and professional in their work; they know each and every detail of this field. Emphasis is placed on the designing of common rooms, living areas, guest rooms and bedrooms.
