The new normal period still hasn’t ended. Besides the occasional shopping or walks, most people are still confined within their homes because of the pandemic. While not exactly a desirable situation, it gives people more time for hobbies and other activities. Because of their jobs, some are booking hotel rooms when they travel, giving hotel employees another good reason to change their décor.
Interior decoration is great. Decorating hotels is a fulfilling experience for both the hotel owner and staff. One of the furniture changes that we can do is to add accent chairs.
