Customers will make their decision to book based on the photographs they see online. So the pictures better look great. Having your hotel rooms photographed by a professional is therefore a must. \u00a0But there is only so much a professional photographer can do: if the interior design is substandard, the photos won&#8217;t look as nice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1162\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1162\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1162\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hotel-Room-Interior-Design-Photography-Edinburgh-Skela-Studio-Philippe-Monthoux-3.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of Edinburgh hotel room interior designed by Skela Studio\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hotel-Room-Interior-Design-Photography-Edinburgh-Skela-Studio-Philippe-Monthoux-3.jpg 960w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hotel-Room-Interior-Design-Photography-Edinburgh-Skela-Studio-Philippe-Monthoux-3-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hotel-Room-Interior-Design-Photography-Edinburgh-Skela-Studio-Philippe-Monthoux-3-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hotel-Room-Interior-Design-Photography-Edinburgh-Skela-Studio-Philippe-Monthoux-3-624x415.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It is important to work you subject, so I tried different framings of the bed close up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was a pretty small one bed room.
