You have 100–400 keys to fill with art that is related but not repeated, and an install date that will not move

You are probably the design director, owner's representative or FF&E lead on a 100–400-key new build or full renovation of a full-service or luxury hotel. There is an art schedule, tiered public areas > suites > standard keys, usually held by an art consultant or the design studio. You buy on that schedule: one mock-up room first, then release of the full order, delivered floor by floor against a fit-out programme. The questions you put to a supplier are about variation at volume, palette consistency across floors, committed dates and paperwork per piece, not about individual pictures.

This page answers those questions with what we actually do, and it says where the catalogue is thin. It is also the page for select-service PIP repeats, brand-standards teams and integrated resorts, each covered in a short paragraph near the end.

Not you? An owner choosing piece by piece for 20–150 keys is on boutique & independent hotels. If you buy on behalf of several operators, see FF&E procurement agents. If the brief is one hero wall, see lobby statement art; if it is the corridors, see corridor series. Gulf hotels and palaces have their own page at GCC hotels & palaces.

The usual failure is a printed package: two hundred rooms, six images, and the repetition shows in the review photos and on the walk down the corridor. One hospitality editor argues that a guest in one room never sees the wall in the next, so repetition in bedrooms is tolerable ². That is true of the guest; it is not true of the brand reviewer or the owner.

What we do instead is called Vary. Nothing is printed and nothing is held in stock, so one catalogue piece becomes a family: the same composition painted in a set of named colourways, sized per room type. A family of four colourways covers a floor of 30–40 keys with no two neighbouring rooms alike; six source works cover 180–240 keys. Within a colourway every piece is still painted by hand and differs slightly in brushwork from its neighbour, which is what separates it from a print run.

The pool is the deepest in the catalogue for hospitality: 681 works carry the Guest Room & Suite tag and 512 of them are tagged Peaceful or Calming. Textured & Plaster (160), Abstract (142) and Impressionist (125) are the styles that vary most easily, because a palette shift changes the room without changing the drawing.

Guides written by print suppliers recommend giclée for multi-room projects, on consistency across hundreds of rooms and on cost ³⁴. We do not sell prints, so here is the case for originals as it applies to us, without a claim about price.

• A document per key. Every piece is signed by the artist and ships with a certificate of authenticity, so each room has a line in the hotel's art register rather than an edition number shared with two hundred others.
• Recolour and resize. A painted piece is re-proportioned to the wall and recoloured to the scheme; a print is cropped and colour-corrected. Any of the 1,455 works can be painted at any size.
• Nothing is discontinued. Because nothing is stocked, the same code and colourway can be painted again in year five for a damaged room or a second property.
• Surface. Relief in the Textured & Plaster works reads under bedside lighting in a way a flat print does not; 160 of them carry the Guest Room tag.

What it costs is quoted per project, not listed, with volume pricing tiered from 10 pieces; we do not claim parity with print pricing. If the brief is three hundred identical images with a fixed unit price, a print house is the right supplier and we are not.

When a programme is assembled from several galleries and marketplaces, each floor is a negotiation and the palette drifts. The fix is structural: one studio holds one brief for the whole run.

Send the designer's colour board, or fabric, paint and stone references, per room type. The mock-up piece is painted to those references and, once you sign it off, becomes the reference for every family in the programme. As each subsequent piece is painted you receive progress photos or video at each stage, and the painter continues only once the stage is approved. On a 200-piece schedule we ask you to nominate one approver and one substitute so approvals do not stall the batch.

One studio, one approval chain. The painters all work inside Siji Art Hub in Foshan and train in its exhibition programme, so the hand on floor six is trained the same way as the hand on floor one, which is what holds a palette across a run; you are not reconciling a marketplace of independent sellers. The catalogue is indexed by 16 colour families, so shortlisting to a scheme is a filter before it is a conversation.

Art is usually the last line released, and the mock-up room is signed off months before the floors are ready. Procurement guidance on hotel art says to work backward from handover and treat each handoff as a documented gate ¹. Here is what that looks like with our numbers.

• Per piece: about 1 week to paint plus 3–7 days in transit, 10–13 days door to door. That is the single-piece figure, not the project figure.
• Per project: send the quantity and the deadline and we quote within 1 business day; the batch dates in the quote are committed in writing. Batches are sequenced floor by floor in your fit-out order, and the mock-up piece can be painted months ahead with the run released when the floors are ready.
• Buffer: we recommend the last batch lands two weeks before soft opening. Shipping is free and insured by DHL, FedEx or USPS; a piece damaged in transit is replaced at no cost, and the buffer is what gives the replacement time to land.

An opening three months out leaves room for a mock-up piece, sign-off and a floor-by-floor run, provided the brief arrives at the start of it. We confirm that in the quote for your quantity and destination, not on this page.

Operator standards ask for documentation per piece, and an art register needs one line per position. Every piece is signed by the artist and ships with its own certificate of authenticity. The order confirmation carries the catalogue code, title, style, agreed size, colourway and finish for each piece, returned in your position structure: Position · Code · Size · Colourway · Finish · Batch · Delivery date. The art schedule in the FF&E package and our order confirmation are then the same document, and the progress photos from painting are yours to keep against each line.

For brand-standards and technical-services teams there is one further consequence of a made-to-order studio: nothing is stocked, so nothing is discontinued. A catalogue work written into a design guide can be painted again for the next opening in any size, in the approved colourway, as a fresh original. Owners and their procurement agents send the codes and room counts and are quoted within 1 business day.

Two things we do not supply: we do not certify canvas for flame spread or fire retardancy, so if your jurisdiction requires it for guest rooms or corridors, specify a local treatment or glazing in the frame specification; and we hold no approved-vendor status with any operator, so do not read one into this page.

Hero walls are a line on the same order, not a separate supplier search: the reception wall, the lift-lobby pair and the suite pieces go on the same quote as the 200 guest-room pieces and count toward the same volume tier. What changes at that line is the brief. Public-area pieces are specified to a wall elevation and a sightline rather than to a room count, and the method for that (re-proportioning a catalogue work to the wall, splitting it into panels, shipping it rolled past the goods lift) is on lobby statement art; read that page for the two or three walls that need it and keep the order here.

Suites usually take two pieces each, and the programme logic still applies: the same family as the standard keys, palette shifted per suite so the suite floor reads as one series rather than a repeat, plus a second, wider piece over the sofa or console. The 28 panoramic Guest Room works are the natural second piece, and any vertical in the family can also be painted panoramic.

For the one wall where the owner wants a named artist rather than a studio piece, senior partnered artists' master works are kept as painted, not varied, and carry provenance, exhibition history, a photograph with the artist and show invitations; see custom and master works. Those pieces run on their own timeline and are quoted separately from the programme.

Send the brief through the quote form with the role set to Hospitality group. It needs six things:

1. Key count by room type, plus lobby, corridors, restaurant and bar, spa and meeting rooms.
2. The palette per room type: the colour board, or fabric, paint and stone references.
3. Wall dimensions or the size grid per room type; any size can be painted, so unusual widths are fine.
4. A finish per space: rolled canvas for local stretching, frameless stretched, or framed in gold, silver, black, white or wood.
5. Starting points from the catalogue (codes such as TA#016 or AA#1092), or a description of style and mood for us to shortlist.
6. The handover date and the delivery address, or the fit-out contractor's warehouse.

Then the order runs like this:

1. Quote within 1 business day, with batch dates and volume tiers.
2. Mock-up piece, minimum order 1, painted and delivered in 10–13 days at the real size and finish.
3. Sign-off of the piece, the colourways per family and the frame finish per zone.
4. Painting, about 1 week per piece, with progress photos or video at each stage and the painter continuing only once you approve.
5. Dispatch, signed, certificate packed with each piece, shipped free and insured by DHL, FedEx or USPS with tracking.
6. Transit of 3–7 days, batch by batch in fit-out order, to the dates committed in the quote.

Start from the room tags: Guest Room & Suite (681), Corridor & Circulation (447), Lobby & Reception (557), Restaurant & Bar (525) and Spa & Wellness (365). Within Guest Room the themes that scale into a series are Floral & Botanical (288), Landscape (206), Geometric (97) and Seascape (82); the moods are Peaceful (404), Calming (238), Uplifting (238) and Cozy & warm (163).

Now the caveat. Headboard walls are wide and the sizing guides tell buyers to expect a horizontal above a wide bed ⁴. The catalogue is painted mostly upright: of the 681 Guest Room works, 511 are vertical, 80 square, 62 horizontal and 28 panoramic. So a horizontal over the headboard is a Resize job, not a filter. Choose the vertical you like and give us the width; the composition is re-proportioned to the wall and painted at that size. The alternatives that use the catalogue as painted are a pair of verticals over the bed, or a square at 91 × 91 cm (36 × 36 in) or larger. Corridors are the opposite case: 435 of the 447 corridor works are vertical, which is the format the wall wants.

Select-service and business hotel PIPs. If the brand-mandated plan is one approved piece per key in one or two colourways across 80–300 near-identical rooms, the mechanics are the same and simpler: the model-room piece is the mock-up, stage photos on the first pieces set the reference, and every piece is still a hand-painted original, so a reviewer will see small differences in brushwork between rooms rather than identical prints. Framed pieces ship boxed with hanging hooks; batches are delivered together to the loading dock to match the floor schedule. Volume pricing from 10 is quoted, not listed.

Brand-standards and in-house design teams. You approve rather than buy. A physical sample at minimum order 1 is how a work enters the guide; once it is in, owners and their procurement agents order against the code and receive the same progress photos you do. Nothing is discontinued, so the standard stays orderable.

Integrated resorts, casinos and all-inclusive properties. Several hundred guest-room pieces, a dozen venues and hero walls beyond standard sizes are quoted as one project with phase dates in writing, staged over months. Each restaurant can carry its own theme (Restaurant & Bar holds 525 works; Floral & Botanical, Landscape and Still Life are the deepest themes there) while room types share one family. Capacity is confirmed at quote for your quantity; it is not a published number.
