Explain the importance of room design:

Lodging facilities are designed to attract guests. Componetns can be used like furniture, wall coverings, floors & carpets, window coverings, fixtures and amenities. Color is also an important factor as it creates a certain atmosphere in a room. Special features make the room more attractiveto guests. You can use a fire place or waterfall as a focal point. Facilities such as ventilation and heating will also attract people who want such type of facilities.
