Hotel Lighting Ideas for Every Style
While there are many types of hotel lighting options, some manufacturers stand out as customer favorites.

How to Choose the Right Lighting for Your Hotel
When it's time to decide on hotel light fixtures, there are many factors to consider. Pendant lights are ideal for areas where you have an established focal point. Chandeliers add elegance to rooms with higher ceilings, while recessed lights are a better choice for minimalist spaces and rooms with an active function, such as a game room. Rope lighting highlights certain spaces like bar area or outdoor gathering spaces. Table lamps are a beautiful accent piece when you need something functional on the bedside table or a business center desk. Floor lamps can quickly dissipate the darker corners of a room, which is particularly useful if you want to make a reading nook as a focal point in the suite. Water-resistant lighting options are good for shower or bathroom lighting. The key to all of these hotel lighting options is that you have to choose one that fits the space and builds the ambiance that you want for the room.
Other Considerations
Remember that lighting is only one style element in the space. Other items to consider include paintings, side tables, coffee tables, wall sconces, and other décor. Together, all of these elements can portray your brand's style to your guests. Lighting is actually one of the most cost-effective ways that you can do this, but you should carefully consider the exact look you desire to achieve.
