Shifting the boundaries in hotel design, Hyperion Tiles climb the walls to create sophisticated surfaces and statements to inspire and entice…
Stepping through the hotel door, first impressions are quickly made based on design and décor. The tone is set, and the colour, texture and pattern on the walls plays an integral part as the book is most definitely judged by its cover. Choosing the right design needs to be considered and often bold, combining style with a plethora of practical considerations such as durability and affordability. Hyperion Tiles explores some of the options available for designers to create the a statement wall covering solution for every space.

With the first visual chance to impress beginning at reception, creating a welcoming atmosphere is paramount. Using a combination of a textured tile and subtle colour is one option to present a hotel entrance in a sophisticated way. Textured tiles will instantly add depth to an overall scheme, and can also be used to define different zones. Create a statement backdrop to the check in process, or frame an entrance to the lift before transporting guests to their private retreats. Choosing a clever selection of wall coverings can both direct guests as well as giving a suggestion of what lies beyond.

Wallcoverings in the guestroom can provide more than a design statement, but can also impact on acoustics. Tiles allow designers the opportunity to play with texture and finish while 3D wall panels shift the design into a stylish and contemporary frame. Panels and tiles can provide a broad range of design options that are both practical and hard wearing as well as being easy to clean, all of which is key in the hospitality arena. Alternative wallcoverings in the guestroom are a means of injecting warmth and character into the design aesthetic of the guestroom, ensuring the experience is a memorable one.

Moving from the bed to the bath, a luxury hotel bathroom is the perfect place for striking design elements. Luxury tile styles and surfaces marry perfectly with more practical elements, being easy to clean and maintain. Think opulent designs, such as marble or marble-effect tiles, which can make a small space feel more opulent, while wall panels can be used to define areas in a bathroom design. An interplay of contrasting wall ideas, some of which can tie into the floor for a more seamless finish, can elevate the bathroom from functional to fabulous.
