Why Investing in Professional Interior Design Is Essential for Your Business

Your venue's interior is the first impression guests receive. Research shows that a unique atmosphere is often more influential in guest retention than service alone. Investing in professional interior design isn't just a trend—it’s a strategic decision that builds loyalty, attracts new guests, and strengthens your reputation.

At Elara Maison, we blend timeless elegance with practicality, helping your venue shine in a competitive market. A refined design can increase average spend per guest and improve ratings on Booking.com, Google, and TripAdvisor.

Strategic Lighting: The Silent Driver of F&B Revenue Growth

In the hospitality industry, where every detail contributes to guest perception and profit, lighting has emerged as a subtle yet powerful revenue engine. No longer just a design afterthought, well-curated lighting — especially outdoors — plays a measurable role in how guests behave, how long they stay, and how much they spend.

According to Luxury Hospitality Insights (2022), atmospheric outdoor lighting — such as string lights and solar table lamps — can increase evening F&B revenue by up to 28%.


Lighting as Revenue Architecture

Evening hours are among the most lucrative in hotel operations. They host dinners, drinks, events, and high-margin upsells. Poor lighting shortens these moments. Good lighting extends them — and monetizes them.

When designed strategically, lighting does three things:

  • Enhances ambiance, encouraging guests to linger
  • Improves spatial usability without additional construction
  • Reinforces a sense of quality that justifies premium pricing

Three High-Impact Lighting Solutions for Outdoor Profitability

1. Solar Table Lamps
Cordless, efficient, and visually appealing, solar lamps provide soft, atmospheric light that transforms dinner tables into intimate, inviting spaces. They offer the added advantage of zero operational cost and effortless sustainability messaging.

2. String Lighting
A classic with proven commercial impact. Installed over patios, rooftops, or garden paths, string lights create depth, rhythm, and charm. They are more than decorative — they define zones, increase visual warmth, and draw attention from passersby.

3. Outdoor Floor Lamps
Placed near sofas, loungers, or lounge tables, outdoor floor lamps contribute structure and elegance. When used thoughtfully, they frame seating areas, support visual hierarchy, and raise the perceived value of your outdoor environment.


The Behavioral Economics of Light

Lighting affects psychology. Warm-toned, layered light cues comfort, intimacy, and time worth savoring. Studies in hospitality behavior have shown that guests spend up to 40% more time in well-lit, aesthetically cohesive environments. And the longer they stay, the more they spend — on drinks, desserts, and experiences.

Good lighting also influences memory. A beautifully lit terrace or poolside lounge becomes part of the guest’s narrative — one they photograph, share, and associate with elevated service.


Measurable Results: From Ambience to ROI

Case in point:
A boutique hotel in Santorini doubled its rooftop dinner bookings within 60 days of installing string lighting and sculptural outdoor lamps — no added square meters, no extra staff.

A coastal resort in Marbella saw bar revenue rise 22% in three months after switching to solar lighting across its outdoor lounge zones.

These are not outliers. They are results born of design thinking aligned with business goals.


Long-Term Value: Lighting That Pays for Itself

Unlike one-off campaigns or seasonal décor, quality lighting is a long-term asset. It lowers energy costs, increases guest satisfaction, and becomes part of your property's identity. High-end solar and LED lighting solutions can deliver:

  • Increased F&B sales
  • Stronger brand perception
  • Greater social media exposure
  • Better guest reviews
  • Enhanced sustainability metrics
