Guest Room Design

Abstract

Rooms should be furnished in relation to guest functions in using the room. These functions are related to the markets served. Some rooms are over-furnished with items not suitable to guest- occupant activities and lamps may be poorly placed.

The editor recently occupied for several days an expensively furnished room in a new hotel which had a wall-hung chest-dresser and console- vanity to facilitate vacuum cleaning. But the furniture was poorly positioned and except for for the dressing room, which was part of the bathroom, lighting was exceedingly poor.

On the wall along which the bed and a sofa bed were positioned, there were only two small wall brackets with dim bulbs. The chest-dresser

along the opposite wall had a tall lamp, but there was none next to the easy chair adjacent to the window wall. It was impossible to read in bed or on the sofa, or in the easy chair. There was no place to write except at the dressing room basin counter and neither the sofa or the easy chair could be moved into this room as a seat. Moreover, it was observed that if a family oc cupied the room, traffic conjestion in the dress ing room-bath room would be unbelievable.
