Considering Carpet for Hotels and Airbnbs

Carpeting is the perfect choice for small hotels, bed and breakfasts, and even Airbnb’s. As the former owner and acquaintance of a boutique hotel once said, “It’s all about the feeling when you walk through the door. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Learn how you can select carpet for hotels or Airbnb and make a great choice.

Why Carpet Should be Your Number One Choice

Whether in reception, sitting areas, or bedrooms, carpet never fails to give guests that warm and welcoming feel every small hotel strives for. Its durability and style make it look good day in and day out. When accurately and harmoniously selected alongside the other decor, it frequently acts as the final link that gives a room the “wow!” factor. Carpeting today comes in so many colors, materials, patterns, and textures that choosing the perfect design for each individual area can be quite challenging. However, the variety also makes it fun!

Balancing Your Hotel’s Eco-Friendly Initiatives with Your Decor

Hospitality businesses are increasingly concerned about their personal impact on the environment. Consequently, they are selecting materials for their businesses that minimize waste and encourage guests to reduce, reuse, and recycle. For example, many hotels encourage guests to reuse towels and sheets. In return, businesses are promoting eco-friendly practices that they too are adopting, such as LED lights, programmable thermostats, organic cotton linens, etc.

Why leave flooring out of the environmental movement? Carpet manufacturers also embrace these goals and can be a major part of your eco-program. Ask for Green Label Plus products and consider natural wool fiber carpets, the ultimate in a renewable and biodegradable resource.

What To Look For in Carpet for Hotels and Airbnbs

Seeking the advice of a professional carpet manufacturer or dealer is one of the first steps recommended in any renovation or new design. It can, quite literally, save you hours of time – something few hospitality professionals or designers have much of anyway!

For example, a reception area is typically a high traffic area. Every guest checks in here when they arrive and out when they leave. Debris from shoes will inevitably enter the building and find its way into the carpet. So, durability matters.

Carpet professionals have the experience to identify the best type and quality of carpet, taking account of foot traffic, climate, and eco-friendly considerations. A dedicated professional will also make recommendations to help minimize wear and tear on your building’s floor surfaces in general. For example, add doormats and grilles to entryways to minimize the impact.

Don’t Forget About Ongoing Maintenance

Additionally, regular vacuuming and professional cleanings play a key role in keeping all carpeted areas pristine. In the real world of hospitality, you will inevitably watch a cup of coffee spill or a wine glass hit the floor. Address these mishaps as soon as you can. Spot clean that area with a recommended cleaning product and move on. It’s a good idea to ask the manufacturer of your carpet about the best way to maintain the specific fibers. Carpet for hotels has a big job, so it is important to help it along!
