What’s Driving Costs in Late 2025?

  • Durability over Cheap Fixes: Investors are prioritizing long-lasting furniture that reduces replacement costs.


  • Experience-Driven Amenities: Extras like coffee bars, workstations, and smart home features are now standard.


  • Supply Chain Stability: Furniture pricing has leveled out compared to past years, but premium demand in competitive markets pushes costs higher.


  • Revenue Optimization: Designs are increasingly focused on boosting ADR (Average Daily Rate) and occupancy rather than just filling a space.
