Seating makes all the difference in the hospitality industry. Imagine getting a bad Yelp review that just won’t go away because someone complained about the chairs in your restaurant or how uncomfortable they felt trying to sit and have a conversation in their hotel room. Choosing stylish, comfortable hospitality seating can make or break you in the age of the always connected customer. Thanks to the smartphone, within seconds your reputation could be at stake all because you picked the uncomfortable chairs with no cushioning.
Hospitality seating should cater to the guests’ comfort in order to create returning customers and brand advocates. When you pair excellent service with seating and furniture that make visitors feel at ease in your establishment you create an environment people want to frequent, return to and share with their friends and families.
Hospitality seating and comfort make a big difference in how your company is perceived and talked about. It might not matter how good the food was at your restaurant or how much fun a family had when they weren’t inside the hotel on their vacation because accommodations and personal comfort can sway someone’s opinion of your hospitality-based business in one bad sitting.
Choosing comfortable, durable hospitality seating creates added value for your business and enhances a visitor’s experience. When visitors have a good experience at your business, they are likely to share that with others and post a positive review, which helps you win new customers. Northland Furniture can help you select the best hospitality seating to work with your requirements and design aesthetic."

string(2069) "When families make the difficult decision to place their loved one in a senior living community, they consider many factors. Most frequently, the choice comes down to a visit to the senior living communities they have considered through careful online research. Visiting a nursing home or senior living community gives families and potential residents a peek into what life will be like in the new living environment.
Families take into consideration the services available to their loved one and the care they will receive, but also absorb the atmosphere and facilities themselves. Choosing the right senior living furniture can give you an extra advantage above and beyond the services and care options you provide.
Here are four factors to consider when buying senior living furniture:
- Rounded corners - Choosing furniture with rounded corners minimizes the chances of seniors bumping and bruising themselves against sharp edges.
- Color scheme for memory - For residents with memory issues choosing a certain color scheme for the furniture and decor helps them know where they are going within the building. In a multilevel community, consider using different colors on each floor to give residents an indication of where they are in the building.
- Wheelchair access - When selecting tables and desks allow for the accessibility of residents in wheelchairs. Tables should reach a height that allows residents in wheelchairs to sit comfortably with their neighbors.
- Durability - Senior living furniture needs to be both durable and functional. Durable finishes that prevent scratches and are easy to clean are necessary features to consider.
Give your senior living communities an extra advantage beyond the services and care you offer. While these are the most important factors to consider when selecting the right nursing home, having the right furniture to enhance the environment gives families and residents the best first impression and could be what swings their decision."

string(3045) "Quality hotel furniture has a certain distinction. It is flawless, efficient and looks essentially unused. And of course it is this level of cleanliness and pristine condition that in part makes a hotel successful.
One of the biggest challenges the hotel industry faces is ensuring their hotel furniture is in prime condition. The durability of hotel furniture is key given a diverse influx of visitors and travelers are constantly enjoying the amenities and furniture.
While quality hotel furniture combined with vigilant furniture maintenance is key, the questions remains:
So, how long should hotel furniture last?
This depends upon a number of factors. The maintenance turnaround on hotel furniture may be much quicker than the desk in your home office that is buried with mail and stacks of paperwork. So this quick response time is surely a factor in extending the lifespan of hotel furniture.
Additionally, trendy hotel furniture may either be manufactured poorly (since it is expected to be replaced quickly) or it is manufactured well, yet still replaced in just a matter of years to keep up with trends.
Given that user experience and fostering an inviting environment is of the upmost priority, the main reason hotels are replacing their furniture before the lifespan is exhausted is to keep up with shifting trends.
With interior designers hired to ensure consistency and cohesiveness in the look, feel and layout of hotels, the big question isn’t how long should hotel furniture last, but rather, how timeless do you want your hotel furniture to be?
It is indeed possible to be fresh and updated without being overly trendy with your hotel’s look.
In addition to considering the trendiness of your furniture, below are other factors to consider when determining how long should hotel furniture should last:
- Consider your clientele. Is it primarily business people or youthful families enjoying the furniture? This undoubtedly determines the degree of usage that the furniture will endure day in and day out, which in turn affects the predicted lifespan.
- Consider the design. Northland Furniture designs our furniture to last—and specific angles to your furniture can make it last even longer. Chairs with angled backs benefit from having extended rear legs in order to prevent accidental collisions with walls. Intention behind design will maximize the longevity of not only your furniture, but also your walls.
With Northland Furniture, you can rest assured knowing your hotel furniture is durable and carefully crafted in the USA using sustainable practices from production to delivery.
Our comprehensive 10-year warranty guarantees our furniture will stand the wear and tear of a high-traffic hotel. We constantly strive to ensure our furniture proudly represents our heritage and values.
Give us a call today so we can work with you to create custom furniture for your hotel.

string(2245) "With the hotel industry trending towards sustainability, storytelling themes and guest-facing technology, hotel furniture trends are directly affected by these changes.
Think calm, serene colors, textures over patterns, storytelling themes and innovative use of space. According to Hotel News Now, hotel trends include green practices—something Northland Furniture has long prioritized by using reusable packaging and sourcing locally.
When it comes to hotel furniture trends, below are some noteworthy items
• Repurposed and handcrafted furniture. Along the lines of sustainability trending in the hospitality industry at large, hotels are seeking to reduce and reuse, and this includes the furniture they purchase.
• Locally sourced products. Furniture designers are cutting down on shipping from overseas, with an eye on both economic viability and environmental benefits. Greatly cutting down on shipping costs, this will also in turn affect the shipping and freight industry.
• Scaled down furniture designs. Technology will encourage more space efficient, minimal furniture designs just as flat screen TVs lessened the need for large, bulky pieces of furniture such as armoires.
• Natural hues and neutral tones. Warm, inviting tones such as modern grays will continue to permeate hotels.
• Soothing elements. Along with soothing colors will be soothing patterns. Rather than high contrast graphics, expect to see subtle, calming graphics and touchable textures. Think warmth and comfort.
• Indoor/outdoor spaces will intermingle. This means a lot of hotel furniture will take on natural materials with more of an earthy look and feel.
• Furniture “mash-up.” Traditional furniture design will playfully contrast with more contemporary furniture to create fresh, unexpected spaces.
All of these hotel furniture trends play into emphasizing a natural, comforting environment, something Northland Furniture has specialized in for over 35 years. Fostering a tie to our local environment and culture, we are well versed in creating an inviting, welcoming hotel with our distinctive furniture.
Give us a call today and let us work with you in incorporating these furniture trends into your hotel’s design."
