Hospitality scope
One art plan across different spaces.
A hotel art program usually needs more than one type of artwork. XM helps select hand-painted works by location, scale, palette and expected artist variation.
Guestrooms
Repeatable dimensions, palette control and room-by-room quantity planning.
Corridors
Series logic, orientation and finishing coordinated with long sight lines.
Restaurant & spa
Artwork selected around atmosphere, viewing distance and maintenance context.
What to include

A clear brief reduces unsuitable options and makes quotation, sampling and timing more reliable.

- Spaces, wall dimensions and quantity by location
- Art direction, palette, references and finish preference
- Preferred hand-painted styles and artwork references
- Budget range, sample requirement and shipping destination

BOQ starter
Fields that belong in an artwork schedule
A useful BOQ links each wall location to a reviewable artwork specification.
| Field | What to record | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Property, floor, room type and wall reference | Prevents artwork from being separated from its intended space |
| Artwork | Reference, route, orientation and crop | Separates visual approval from production assumptions |
| Specification | Finished size, canvas, frame and quantity | Supports accurate quotation and packing |
| Approval | Proof, photo/video or physical sample status | Creates an auditable decision record |
Hospitality art FAQ
Questions from project teams
Can XM supply artwork for both hotel guestrooms and public spaces?
Yes. Guestrooms often need repeatable artwork and consistent dimensions, while lobbies and signature spaces may benefit from larger hand-painted pieces. XM can coordinate the hand-painted artwork schedule and approval record.
Can hotel artwork be customized to the interior palette?
Palette, size and selected visual details can be reviewed for hand-painted work, with each approved painting used as a visual benchmark. The permitted range is confirmed per artwork rather than promised universally.
What determines hospitality artwork lead time?
Lead time depends on the chosen artwork route, quantity, dimensions, texture, drying or proofing requirements, finishing, sample approval and packing. XM confirms timing only after reviewing these inputs.
Does XM provide installation?
Installation is not presented as a standard worldwide service. XM can coordinate rolled, stretched or framed supply and provide packing information; site installation requirements should be confirmed with the local project team.
Can you plan around an opening or gift date?
Give XM the required arrival date and destination before confirming the order. The proposed schedule must allow for approval, any agreed revisions, production, drying, finishing and transport. Timing is confirmed for the actual brief.
How do I avoid artwork and frame mismatches across rooms?
Link each wall location to an artwork reference, finished dimensions, frame or canvas format and quantity. Use approved samples and agreed variation ranges across repeated rooms, while reviewing focal pieces separately.
