Designing for hospitality spaces means balancing beauty, function, and flexibility. Whether you’re furnishing a hotel, café, canteen, or outdoor dining area, the furniture you choose plays a vital role in setting the tone, enhancing comfort, and ensuring long-term value.
Here are six expert-backed tips for choosing hospitality furniture—featuring the versatile and award-winning Tilia™ range:
1. Prioritise Durability
Hospitality furniture needs to withstand daily use, frequent cleaning, and the occasional knock. Tilia’s commercial-grade chairs and tables are crafted from robust materials like polycarbonate, fibreglass-reinforced polypropylene, and aluminium—ideal for demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

2. Choose Stackable Seating for Flexibility
Spaces that host events or shift between uses benefit greatly from stackable furniture. Tilia™ offers a wide range of stackable dining chairs, stools, and lounge seating—making it easy to adapt your layout and store unused items efficiently.
3. Think About Indoor–Outdoor Flow
Blurring the line between indoor and outdoor design? Tilia’s weather-resistant outdoor furniture brings a unified look to terraces, patios, and indoor spaces alike. UV-stabilised and water-resistant, they’re built for all seasons.
4. Go Modular for Evolving Needs
Hospitality layouts often change. Tilia’s modular furniture—especially tables and soft seating—offers the flexibility to reconfigure layouts quickly. It’s the perfect solution for multifunctional venues or growing establishments.
5. Match Form to Function
From ergonomic backrests to anti-slip feet, Tilia™ designs every detail for user comfort and safety. Whether it’s an intimate café corner or a high-traffic canteen, each product blends practical features with elegant aesthetics.
6. Balance Style with Brand Identity
Your furniture should reflect your venue’s personality. Tilia’s broad colour palette, contemporary shapes, and luxurious finishes (like wood effect or metallic coatings) help reinforce your brand image while elevating the dining experience.
