Key elements for textile interior design in rural and mountain hotels

We outline six ideas to create the most comfortable atmosphere in these types of establishments.

The essence of a rural and/or mountain hotel lies in its ability to blend comfort, warmth, and an aesthetic that reflects the natural beauty of its surroundings. Therefore, textile interior design is crucial in achieving this balance, creating spaces that invite relaxation and enjoyment of nature.

At Carmela Martí Decoración, we break down the essential textile elements needed to achieve this effect, emphasizing quality, nature, and the unique characteristics of these hotel establishments:

  1. Upholstery to Create a Comfortable Space

The choice of upholstery in rural and mountain hotels should prioritize two aspects: durability and comfort. High-quality materials and rich, pleasant textures are fundamental to create a warm environment, especially during winter, while ensuring the upholstery withstands wear and tear. Given that many of these establishments are located in areas prone to skiing, the fabrics must also endure contact with ski equipment.

  1. Bedding

Textile elements for the bed must ensure comfort on the coldest nights. The room should include blankets, duvets, and bedspreads, taking into account the season, as summer also sees a significant influx of visitors. At Carmela Martí, we recommend using these three textile elements, as preferences vary: some guests prefer the softness of a blanket, the microclimate of a duvet, or the additional cover of a bedspread.

  1. Functional and aesthetic curtains

Curtains serve the practical purpose of regulating light and providing privacy, but they are also a key aspect of room decoration. For rural and mountain hotels, materials with a more natural appearance that harmonize with the surroundings can help create a seamless connection between the interior and exterior. They also add a sense of well-being to the room, making it more inviting.

  1. Rugs to Feel Warmth Underfoot

In high mountain hotels, rugs play a crucial role in retaining heat and preventing cold floors. Designs can evoke nature with earth tones, soft greens, or neutral shades, incorporating natural motifs or patterns related to local traditions.

  1. Textile Accessories that Reflect the Surroundings

Cushions, throws, and other textile accessories can transform a space and add a distinctive touch. Combining colors and textures with a focus on nature and the identity of the rural and mountain hotel is key. This year, one of the standout trends is the use of floral and leaf patterns, which perfectly complements these types of establishments.

  1. A Color Palette Inspired by Nature

Following the previous point, the color scheme should be cozy and relaxing; soft colors mixed with forest greens or deep blues are a sure bet. These can be complemented with warm colors like ‘peach fuzz‘ or terracotta red, creating an atmosphere that invites the relaxation provided by nature.

At Carmela Martí Decoración, we know that each rural and mountain hotel has its own identity and spirit. Besides capturing their essence, textile solutions enhance the experience of guests seeking relaxation, especially during the colder months. Each project should be tailored for comfort, ensuring guests enjoy their stay, whether they come to ski or simply to rest.
