Comfort away from home to escapism

As a forerunner in the hospitality industry we strive to be the leading furniture supplier which ensures we keep in trend with our furniture designs and styles. This year we have seen a few changes that have shaped the interiors of restaurants, bars, hotels and even the commercial spaces.
Comfort away from home is key, we all like to get that feeling of warmth, comfort and have the feel good factor when away from our home, therefore the products we are seeing on trend in hospitality and break out spaces are comfortable with a bit of ‘squish’, using warm colours, warm materials and design led products. “The busy lives we lead and all that is going on in the world with its distractions and digital interruption, that element of escapism is required and can be achieved through a well-designed space and the most successful hospitality brands are seeking out this look and feel”
We are seeing a move from the over used shiny, bright metals, perhaps moving a bit more to the refined industrial patina on copper, zinc, brass teamed with sumptuous velvets, plenty of greenery and pops of bold colour.
The creative team at UHS Group delves into many areas of fashion, design, architecture to engage with the specifiers and provide suitable materials, colours and products. www.uhs-group.com
