Inspiration

The art of hospitality design weaves the tale of a space, but are you narrating the entire story? As an installer, your skillset equips you to not only fulfil the task at hand but also to see and suggest more, uncovering the hidden facets of every project. Here's how you can delve deeper with internal films, adding layers of richness to your installations and presenting them to your clients.

Decorative Window Films

Introducing the artistic potential of VION and 3M Fasara is like presenting a canvas to an artist. These films are not merely about appearance; they are about creating experiences. They serve as dialogues between the room and its occupant, ensuring that while the basic essence of privacy remains untouched, the overall ambience is enhanced. These films are available in a vast array of designs, suited for various palettes and moods. Imagine offering your clients the chance to not only adjust the light in a room but to tint it with an emotion, be it of serenity, luxury, or modern chic.

Privacy in Guest Rooms: The very foundation of hospitality lies in comfort. When guests retreat into their rooms, there's an inherent expectation of solitude. Using decorative window films, you can take this a step further. It's not just about obscuring a view; it's about enriching it. Picture a room where the world outside is muted, but in its place, there's a gentle pattern, a soft hue, or even an artwork that complements the room's decor.

Branding in Reception Areas: A hotel's reception is its handshake. With decorative window films, this greeting can be warm, distinctive, and memorable. It's a space where the brand's personality can shine, reflecting its ethos, legacy, or its promise of the experience to come.

Digital Print Films

Consider the brilliance of Arlon DPF 8000 Ultra Tack and 3M Envision Print Wrap Series 480mC. These films are a marriage of science and art. Specially curated for challenging surfaces, they maintain vibrancy and adhere with tenacity, ensuring longevity. When clients desire murals, art pieces, or brand statements, these films emerge as heroes.

Branding: In the hospitality sector, every nook and corner can narrate a brand's tale. With digital print films, the walls can echo the hotel's legacy, the floor can map its journey, and even the ceilings can reflect its aspirations. Whether it's a sophisticated chandelier backdrop in the main dining area or a mural in the lobby, there's potential for brand reinforcement.

Wayfinding: In expansive hospitality venues, navigation can be an art. Transforming essential signage into pieces of art or brand stories not only enhances the guest experience but also acts as a subtle branding tool.

Textured Wall Films

Stepping into the realm of textured wall films like Avery Dennison MPI 8000 Wall Film Series and Arlon DPF Wall Decoration is akin to stepping into a world of sensory experience. These films don't just change the way a space looks, they transform how it feels, offering a tactile depth that is both visually and physically engaging.

Murals & Large Images: In the dynamic landscape of hospitality, a blank wall is a canvas waiting to be painted. A sprawling mural can set the tone of a room, dictating its mood and ambience. Imagine the lobby of a coastal resort adorned with a panoramic mural of the nearby shoreline or a boutique hotel showcasing large art pieces reflective of local culture. These aren’t just decorations; they're experiences waiting to be delivered. They whisper stories of the locale, the brand, and the unique blend of both.

Architectural Films

When you think about architectural films, think of them as the alchemists of the design world. They take everyday elements - a reception desk, a door, even an entire wall - and transform them into something utterly different without the hefty price tag and disruption of traditional renovations. At William Smith, we stock the largest range of architectural films in the UK, including 3M DI-NOC, Cover Styl, LX Hausys BENIF, VION Decor Interior, and Decal All Décor 2D.

Reception Desks: The first point of contact for any guest, a reception desk, can make a powerful statement. Does it echo the luxury of the establishment, or does it whisper sophistication? Does it set the stage for a rustic retreat or a futuristic escapade? With architectural films, you have the ability to tailor this experience, to give guests a taste of what’s to come.

Restrooms: It’s often said that the quality of a place can be judged by its restrooms. In the hospitality industry, where every detail counts, this is especially true. Dated fixtures can be revitalised, and drab walls can be given a luxe makeover, all without the disruption of construction.

Sun Control Window Films

In the realm of comfort, two factors often dominate the scene in hospitality: light and privacy. Here, Sun control window films such as VION and 3M's ranges shine the brightest.

Maintaining Comfort: Every guest seeks an oasis of comfort. Dining areas, lounges, and even corridors with expansive windows can turn into heat chambers under the relentless sun, but sun control films are like a shield, deflecting excessive heat and ensuring spaces remain cool and comfortable. They also play a pivotal role in energy conservation, leading to substantial savings in the long run.

With this knowledge, approach every project not just as an installer but as a consultant, guiding clients through opportunities and amplifying the potential of their spaces. With the right tools and vision, you can unlock it, amplifying both your sales and your client's satisfaction.
