When it comes to dressing your hotel with floristry it can be challenging to understand which option is right for you. Fresh displays? Artificial? Preserved? Or how about a combination of all three?
In this article, we want to unpack a range of benefits of using artificial flowers for you to consider incorporating into your space.
As the quality of faux displays becomes increasingly advanced artificial floral displays are a great option to consider for several reasons:
Low maintenance
With fresh flowers, you have the problem of regular upkeep and the well-known rule that they only last an absolute maximum of 1-2 weeks. But with artificial flowers, the duty of daily watering and regular upkeep no longer exists. All you simply need to do is brush off any dust as part of your usual interior cleaning routine.
Wide range of choices and flexibility
With artificial flowers, the combination possibilities are almost endless enabling creativity to flourish! Sometimes fresh flower displays can’t always be used together or combined to make them last longer but with faux displays, it’s possible to create a bespoke display that’s personal to your hotel space whilst lasting much longer. Just like fresh displays, it’s nice to have them changed over on a seasonal basis to keep in line with customer expectations. Artificial flowers can also be changed over regularly so that seasonality is apparent and the customer experience remains themed.
Allergen-free
Sometimes real flowers, whilst striking, can be a nuisance for those with pollen allergies or sensitivities to smells. But artificial floral arrangements are free from pollen and fragrances, making them particularly ideal for hotels where footfall is high. If you’re a hotel owner or somebody who is in charge of the general maintenance of a hotel, this is another potential problem you can remove from your list!
High quality
The topic of quality is a real consideration when exploring faux flower displays. You may have seen poor-quality displays in the past or don’t like the fact that guests may notice them during their stay. Artificial flowers can be 100% UV stabilised meaning they will never fade in areas of long periods of sunshine. This makes them very long-lasting and all that is required is a light dusting to keep them looking fresh all year round. In addition to this, artificial displays are often fire rated making them not only a quality option but a safe one too.
Artificial flowers are not for everyone but this is a simple article to educate you on the most common benefits of using them in your hotel space. They are a great way to incorporate natural elements that enable your guest experience to be enhanced and make it a memorable stay for your valuable customers.
