What is the difference between hotel furniture and home?

Difference in Design Concept

The design of home furniture is often personalized, reflecting the owner's taste and preferences. In contrast, hotel furniture follows a more standardized approach, aligned with the overall style of the establishment. While hotels may have unique themes, their furniture should maintain an elegant and appealing appearance to cater to a diverse guest base—travelers from different regions and countries. This diversity requires thoughtful design, such as rounded corners on bedside tables to prevent accidental injuries, easily accessible power switches for bed users, and neatly arranged network ports on desks. Additionally, many guests are tall, so bed heights and seating dimensions should be adjusted accordingly. Hotel furniture tends to feature clean, simple lines to make cleaning easier for staff, while home furniture can incorporate more intricate details.

Material Differences

Hotel furniture is subject to higher usage and wear compared to home furniture. Since hotel guests vary in behavior and care for the furniture, materials must be more durable. For example, coffee tables and writing desks should be made from high-hardness, scratch-resistant materials. Fire-resistant finishes or glass tops are recommended to protect against burns from smoking. Similarly, fabric on chairs should be flame-retardant. In bathrooms, which are often adjacent to rooms, moisture and humidity can cause damage over time, so waterproof and mold-resistant materials are essential. Home furniture, on the other hand, doesn’t require such extreme durability.

Maintenance Differences

Maintaining hotel furniture is more challenging than maintaining home furniture. Hotel staff must clean frequently, and solid wood furniture can be difficult to wax properly. If not cleaned thoroughly before waxing, the surface may become dull. Once damaged, it’s hard to restore. Therefore, it's better to avoid waxing when possible. Zhengmei Hotel Furniture uses imitation solid wood with no paint, special waterproof treatment, making it fireproof, wear-resistant, and easy to maintain. For solid wood furniture, use two cloths—one dry and one slightly damp. Avoid excessive moisture. Clean dust first, then wipe stains with a damp cloth. For tough spots, use a water-soluble detergent. If the finish fades, you can apply wax, but only after cleaning thoroughly. Avoid using car wax. Apply wax gradually, from small areas to larger ones. For plate furniture, simply wipe with a clean cloth. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a little detergent, then dry with a clean towel.
