Homeware Hotels: The New Way Retail Companies Make Sales
Have you ever booked in a hotel and wondering where you could buy this painting or that furniture? Homeware hotels let you buy anything you find there.
Here is a new hotel trend that you might not know of—homeware hotels. This is a type of boutique hotel that lets you buy anything inside it! This means that you can buy any furniture you find inside the hotel. So, if you find a chair or a painting that you like, you can get one for your house right away. The best part is, you can see closely and feel if you like it or not before purchasing it. You can also find out more the other hotels at World Roamers complete with some travelling tips. So, here are 5 homeware hotels where you can stay and hunt for great furniture!
1. Muji Hotel
Muji is known with their minimalist style, so expect a gorgeous neutral-coloured interior inspired by wood, stone and earth. The furniture can be purchased from Muji, like the beds that they have ensured to restore the energy and spirit of any traveller staying there. The hotels are currently available in China and Japan. They offer up to 9 different room styles at a different price point.
2. The Boathouse
Another break from conventional hotel accommodation is the Boathouse London, a boutique hotel created with Made.com as the partner. Just like the name suggests, the hotel uses a boat as the main design. Inside, you can see the interior is filled with woods just like the style of Made.com. The hotel is quite small but still feels spacious and chic at the same time.
3. The Vipp Hotel
The Vipp Hotel is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. The motto of this hotel is to offer you unique experience simply by staying in one of their limited rooms. There are three locations of Vipp Hotel in total, with each only having one bedroom inside. The company Vipp is specialising in kitchen design, so the hotel lets you try out their kitchenware. Get the full experience with the products and decide whether you need one in your house as well.
4. Soho Home by Soho House & Co
Soho Home lets you purchase the furniture, tableware, accessories, textiles to limited edition prints and vintage finds that you find inside the hotel. The hotels are located in the US, UK and Spain. This hotel is a part of Soho House & Co membership club that lets you travel the world and enjoy the perks everywhere, from clubs, restaurants, workspace, spas, cinemas and of course, the hotels.
5. West Elm Hotel
This hotel is still a concept that will be launched in 2020 in the US. The hotel is under the same brand portfolio as Pottery Barn, a furnishing store chain for homes. So, you can try out this furniture as well while staying in West Elm Hotel.
This trend is starting to rise in the US and Europe and hopefully will extend to Asia. The concept is quite new, providing you with a different experience than traditional hotels. Don’t worry if you are not travelling there. If you are looking for hotels in Southeast Asia and Japan, you can always check out World Roamer Singapore for travel inspiration and book the hotels and accommodations right away!
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
