Neutral colours work best when painting and decorating hotels guest houses and bed and breakfast accommodation
As I travel around in Bournemouth and Poole, working in my trade as painter decorator, I’m often asked whether I like a particular colour scheme for a hotel, guest house or bed and breakfast (B & B) accommodation.
When I appear reluctant to give an opinion, the proprietors are sometimes puzzled until I explain why. The truth is that, whatever my opinion, it would be completely irrelevant because the sort of painting and decorating that works best for hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfast (B & B) accommodation is neutral painting and decorating that offends nobody. (The position is similar to rented houses, letting rooms and buy to let properties about which I wrote recently.)
The simple fact is that, if the painting and decorating is individual to the extent that somebody likes it, then it is probably individual enough for somebody to also dislike it.
Imagine you are offering somebody your last available bedroom late in the day after which you will have little chance of another person taking the room for the night, the last thing you want is for them to take a position on whether they like the colour scheme and for you to lose the business.
Of course, that is not to say that a bedroom should not have colour to brighten it up. Colour is fine in the cushions and pictures on the wall, the towels and other bedroom accessories. All of which can be removed, if necessary, but which, in any case, are less likely to offend.
As we move into the part of the year when many hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfasts (B & Bs) are thinking about painting and redecorating their premises ready for the Spring and Summer next year, I hope these few comments will be helpful.
Of course, if you have hotel, guest house or bed and breakfast accommodation that needs painting and redecorating in the Bournemouth or Poole area, I would be happy to visit you and give a free quotation for the work and, at the end of the day, the choice of colours is ultimately your decision which I will always be happy to implement.
If you would like to see examples of my work, my wife Christine owns and runs Newpoint Hotel bed and breakfast in Southbourne. You are welcome to visit us and discuss options (by appointment because I’m usually working at clients until late).
Alternatively, I can visit you and give you a free quote. Just call me, Noel, or my wife, Christine, on (01202) 425047 and I will be happy to oblige.
Bye for now
Noel
