With its sandy hue, the Dover Norfolk Cotton upholstery collection from sofa.com, serves as the perfect canvas for tranquil ocean blues and rich sunset accents – an ideal palette for creating a calm, coastal-inspired guest experience…
At the heart of this design story from sofa.com, is Aissa, a multifunctional marvel crafted with hospitality in mind. Offering an optional pull-out sofa bed, Aissa is ideal for family suites, flexible room layouts or boutique hotels seeking to maximise occupancy without sacrificing design integrity.
Its smooth transition from sofa to bed ensure operation efficiency for housekeeping teams while the integrated chaise storage compartment is a thought addition allowing extra bedding, pillows, or guest belongings to be packed away easily. This attention to both guest experience and operational practicality is key for designers balancing aesthetic appeal with daily functionality.

Layering tactile accessories further elevates the marine-themed scheme; a neutral geometric shag rug underfoot adds softness, acoustic benefits, and visual interest while a rattan basket introduces the relaxed, organic textures of breeze-brushed dune grasses and driftwood. These layered natural elements help to foster a biophilic connection, an increasingly important design principle that enhances guest wellbeing and extends length of stay.
Materiality is critical when designing for high-traffic environments and this cotton is not only visually versatile, but its quality composition offers excellent durability, standing up to the demands of everyday use while retaining its fresh, inviting appearance. Easy-to-maintain fabrics help support a high standard of presentation in rooms, reducing the long-term replacement and maintenance needs – a crucial consideration for design team and hotel operators alike.
To complete the coastal look, opt for layered throw pillows in a mix of linen, cotton, and lightweight woven fabrics, choosing shades of soft seafoam, deep navy, and sandy taupe. Bedding should continue the story with inviting, crisp white sheets accented by textured throws or coverlets in subtle stripes or relaxed herringbone to reference to the relaxed, beach feel without overwhelming or feeling too heavily themed.
By anchoring the space with Aissa’ thoughtfully crafted silhouette and enhancing it with organic textures and tonal contrasts, designers can achieve a refined coastal concept that feels both contemporary and timeless. For a serene, stylish guest environment that encourages relaxation and elevates guests experience, find the one at sofa.com to ensure every visitor leaves with a lasting memory of comfort and emotional connection.
