Interior trend "coziness" conquers the hospitality industry
In the restaurant and hotel industry, the interior plays a decisive role in how guests perceive a restaurant or hotel. In recent years, an interior trend has emerged that can be quite aptly described as homey coziness. In a world characterized by hectic activity and digitalization, more and more people are longing for places where they can relax from everyday life, where they feel at home and where comfort, security and familiarity are paramount. Five sub-trends can be identified within the "coziness" furnishing trend.
1. The urban cocoon
The hectic atmosphere of the city is deliberately hidden in many urban hotels and restaurants. Instead of creating a bustling social gathering place, they try to create a homey feel by incorporating cozy furnishing trends. For example, many city hotels create tranquil natural oases away from the noise of the big city, and restaurants use vintage furniture in shades of green and gray to create a calming atmosphere. Such an "urban cocoon" offers guests the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and relax in a cozy environment.
This interior trend can be additionally supported with architectural elements such as partitions and screens, which help to create cozy and intimate corners. Green tableware, such as the thyme decor fromHEART&SOUL's PERFECT MATCH collection, also enhances the calming atmosphere of an urban cocoon and creates a peaceful interior design.
2. Creative patina
The interior trend of "creative patina" focuses on faded and aged interiors with a slightly "worn" look. Accessories such as artwork and antiques reinforce the retro character. Flea market finds are also often placed in rooms to exude history and character.
The hospitality industry can pick up on the interior trend by combining old with new to imitate a home steeped in history. Complemented by matching tableware, such as plates and platters from BAUSCHER's ANTIQUE STYLE collection, the charming atmosphere of creative patina is perfectly highlighted in this unique interior design trend.
3. Dark vintage
Dark or muted colors, subdued lighting and vintage elements are used for the "Dark Vintage" trend aesthetic. Colors such as ocher, plaster pink, wine red and black are typical to create an intimate, moody and mysterious atmosphere.
The NARA BLACK&WHITE stoneware dinnerware from PLAYGROUND, with its rich color scheme and handcrafted texture, is the perfect furnishing trend to complement this style. The dinnerware sets bold accents on the table setting and emphasizes the atmosphere of relaxation and enjoyment embodied in the Dark Vintage trend. To set lighter accents, the plates and bowls of NARA ROSÉ can be combined to match.
4. Modern rusticity
The "modern rustic" interior trend is characterized by simple materials, recycled furniture and a primal aesthetic. This can be created by details such as handmade cabinets, open shelves, recycled doors or enameled lamps. Farmhouse furniture and unplastered stone walls also go well with this interior trend. Modern rusticity creates a practical, yet cozy atmosphere.
Such interior is completed with BAUSCHER COUNTRY HOUSE collection. The durable tableware captivates with turning grooves and colored glazes that emphasize the style of handmade ceramics. This creates a harmonious connection between the naturalness of rustic design and the quality of porcelain, offering a timeless interior design trend.
5. The anti-working environment
As living and working merge, new work environments are increasingly focused on comfort. Coziness is on an equal footing with practicality and a sense of well-being with a willingness to perform. This interior trend is being implemented above all in office complexes of large companies, where communal spaces are intended to create a new homely atmosphere. So cozy corners are created where employees can withdraw, seating groups are set up to promote informal exchange among colleagues - and last but not least, canteens are realized that have anything but the typical sterile, impersonal "canteen look," but instead focus on coziness and enjoyment.
The COFFEE TASTING collection from SCHÖNWALD also stands for restrained professionalism with its highly functional, purist design and fits perfectly with the relaxed atmosphere of the anti-work environment. To emphasize this atmosphere, the tableware from SHÖNWALD's SCANDIC collection can be used too. The collection combines minimalist aesthetic clarity with practical everyday suitability. COFFEE TASTING cups can also be combined with saucers from the SCANDIC collection.
