Chris Havey at Stelrad comments on the research:
‘The interior design concepts are the central theme that all the design elements are focused upon, the interior of each room really brings the chosen themes to life through careful planning. Each visual theme evokes a specific mood by strategically using colour, space and style in tandem. From the wallpaper paper choices to the smaller accessories, the attention to detail has really been taken into consideration. Staying in a themed hotel room will leave your family with memories to hold for a lifetime, although you are in the UK you will really feel like you have stayed at a different location!’
