Hotel Renovation: Planning Curtains, Upholstery and Soft Furnishings

Renovating a hotel usually means working around operations and tight reopening dates. Curtains, upholstery and soft furnishings are often among the last items installed, so planning them early protects the schedule.

Start with a survey

Record the room and window schedule, current sizes, the condition of existing tracks or hardware and any access limits. Final site measurements should be confirmed before production starts.

Decisions that affect the schedule

• Fabric choice and sample approval.
• The fire standard and review of test reports.
• Whether the fabric is in stock or must be woven or dyed.
• Sewing capacity and batch sizes.

Phasing the work

Many renovations are delivered floor by floor or wing by wing, and phased delivery and installation can be agreed in the quotation. Lead times depend on stock, production, testing, sewing capacity and installation access, so we confirm dates only after checking these.

Keep a record

• Approved samples.
• Test reports for each article.
• Final measurements and shop drawings.
• Acceptance criteria and the delivery schedule.
