 According to Google word search, décor is the the style in which the inside of a building
is decorated.
 It depends upon the creativity and the ideas that emmerge in the minds of architecture as
well as the interior designer that leads to the destiny of the complete room and it’s design
 Many designers incorporate various styles of decoration while doing the décor planning
of an area, may it be a hotel or the house
 It is evident that various hotels have incorporated various décor styles from the past as
well as many modern styles.
 Ezample: Vivanta by Taj, Whitefield has chosen the style of Ecological Cascade which
means that ecology flows down the hotel.
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 1. Mid-Century Modern: The mid-1900s produced some

of the most iconic pieces in modern design. It is
characterized by refined lines, minimalist silhouettes, and
natural shapes. From Saarinen, Niemeyer, Eames,
Noguchi, Jacobsen and beyond, the mid-century modern
masters defined creative ways to use new materials
like molded plastic, plywood, and aluminum in industrial
design. Its pieces are highly versatile and can complement
a myriad of design styles.
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 2. Industrial: This is a look that hearkens back

to the turn-of-the-century industrial era. It
emphasizes liberal use of exposed steel with
distressed wooden elements, frequently
complemented by exposed brick walls. The
modern variant commonly includes copper-tone
accents. In terms of general feel, industrial decor
is often rustic and mature.
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 3. Nautica: Warm, relaxing, and positive. Nautical decor

(also referred to as coastal or cottage decor) reflects the New
England beach house spirit. This interior design style is
based on white or sand colored foundation, with blue as the
primary accent color Material-wise, nautical décor
incorporates unfinished wood in its tables or chairs,
combined with chic linen upholstery for your lounge seats
and sofas. Your options for decorative accents are many:
seashells in clear jars, jute ropes, rowing oars, sailboats,
navigational maps, and more!
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 4. Scandinavia: An off-shoot of the mid-century modern

movement, Scandinavian design introduced a popular
minimalist look to the interior architecture field that lasts to
this day. Featuring gentle contours, playful accent colors,
and a balance of engineered and organic materials,
Scandinavian furniture are simple, contemporary, and
functional. Many Scandinavian designs
employ Bauhaus principles and is characterized by fluid
lines, focus on object proportions, and populist appeal. A
great majority of Scandinavian interiors use white with gray
tones as the foundation colors.
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 5. Bohemian: Bohemian decor captures the carefree and

adventurous spirit of the avant-garde lifestyle. It features
creative application of rich patterns and vibrant colors,
especially those with red or purple tones. The key is to
carefully present a purposefully “messy” look. Layer on
textiles (throws, pillows, rugs, tapestry) for a warm
ambience.
 When furnishing, look for pieces that possess ethnic or
nomadic vibes. Moroccan, Southwestern, or tribal-inspired
designs are currently trending. Composition-wise, boho
chic loves textile, wood, animal hide, and metallic accents.
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 6. Farmhouse: Farmhouse decor is a modern approach to

cabin-inspired interior design. Mostly transitional in nature with
some traditional elements mixed in, farmhouse aesthetic should
transport your imagination to French Provence. Farmhouse
furniture are characterized by distressed wood and upholstered
linen. Color-wise, it is similar to nautical decor with mostly
white and beige base colors. Orthodox rules dictate that accent
colors should be something similar to turquoise or light yellow,
but I find it better to introduce some brighter colors for some
pop and definition.
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 7. Urban Modern: Urban interior design stems from the modern

designer lofts in the major cities. Taking cues from its cosmopolitan
environment, urban modern is a fusion of various opposing and
complementary traits. Minimalist modern, glamorous chic, ethnic
heirlooms, and edgy experimental designs all collide in a distinctively
21st-century setting.
 Larger furniture (sofas, beds, etc.) tends to be uniformly sleek with low-
profile. Feel free to bring home trailblazing modern furniture designs.
Decorative accents (pillows, mirrors, end tables, etc.) in urban decor
often demands artistic and creative expression – add some elegant
geometric designs, or vintage items with traditional embellishment.
 New Décor Styles used by Hotels:

 8. Shabby Chic: Shabby chic decor emphasizes vintage elements

to recreate the antique flea market look. The furniture are
characterized by their aged appearance, with distressed wood
composition covered in sanded milk paint to show signs of wear and
tear.
 Decorative accents for shabby chic decor should be soft and opulent,
often with an affected feel, in order to bring the overall interior design
to a contemporary standard. Generously introduce linen textiles for
added style. Though orthodox shabby chic colors are white, ecru and
pastel, don’t be afraid to apply some vibrant colors.
