Buyer ToolsHotel Room Furniture List — Complete Checklist by Room Type
Opening a new hotel or refurbishing old rooms starts with a furniture list. Miss one item per room and you multiply the gap by every room in the building. This checklist sets out the furniture a hotel guest room needs, room type by room type, with typical sizes, plus the back-of-house furniture that is easy to forget until opening week.
Standard Hotel Room Furniture List
Every standard or deluxe guest room needs these pieces. Sizes are typical starting points; your interior designer will adjust them to the room.
| Item | Qty per room | Typical size (W × D × H) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bed frame (king or queen) | 1 | King: 1830 × 1980 mm mattress (72 × 78 in); queen: 1525 × 1980 mm (60 × 78 in) | Or two single beds in a twin room |
| Headboard | 1 | Bed width plus 100–300 mm each side | Often wall-mounted with reading lights |
| Bedside tables | 2 | 450–550 × 400–450 × 550–600 mm | One drawer and a shelf is enough |
| Wardrobe | 1 | 900–1200 × 600 × 2100 mm | Hanging space, shelves and room for the in-room safe |
| In-room safe | 1 | About 20–25 litres for a standard room | Fixed inside the wardrobe |
| Luggage rack or bench | 1 | 900 × 450 × 450 mm | Protects walls and the bed from suitcases |
| Writing desk | 1 | 1000–1200 × 500–600 × 750 mm | Can double as the TV console |
| Desk chair | 1 | — | Upholstered seat, easy to clean |
| Lounge chair | 1 | — | With a small side table |
| TV unit or wall panel | 1 | Matches the desk length | Hides cables and holds the minibar |
| Minibar cabinet | 1 | Sized to the fridge | Ventilated back panel |
| Mirror | 1 | Full-length, 450–600 mm wide | Near the wardrobe or entrance |
Extra Furniture by Room Type
| Room type | Add to the standard list |
|---|---|
| Twin room | Two single beds (900–1070 mm wide each) instead of one double; one shared bedside table between them, or two |
| Deluxe / business room | Larger desk, ergonomic chair, two lounge chairs and a coffee table |
| Suite | Living area: sofa, coffee table, armchairs, dining table with 2–4 chairs, console table, larger wardrobe and a larger safe (35–45 litres) |
| Family room | Extra single bed or sofa-cum-bed, more wardrobe space, extra luggage rack |
| Accessible room | Lower wardrobe rails and desk, more clear floor space beside the bed |
Back-of-House Furniture Hotels Forget
Guest rooms get all the attention in the design stage, but a hotel cannot open without its back-of-house furniture:
- Staff lockers for housekeeping, kitchen, front office and security teams — see our hotel staff lockers guide.
- Staff accommodation — beds or bunk beds, wardrobes and lockers for staff who live on site. See our staff accommodation furniture guide.
- Linen room and housekeeping shelving on every floor.
- Kitchen and stores racking in stainless or powder-coated steel.
- Back-office storage — filing cabinets and a fireproof safe for cash and documents.
How to Turn the List into an Order
- Count rooms by type. Multiply each room type's list by the number of those rooms, then add 2–3% spare for damage and future repairs.
- Get a sample room approved. Have one complete room made and fitted before the full order goes into production.
- Fix the safe size before the wardrobe. The wardrobe shelf has to fit the safe, so decide the safe model first — see our hotel room safes.
- Plan delivery floor by floor. Ask the manufacturer to pack and deliver by floor so rooms can be fitted out in the order the building is handed over.
- Order back-of-house with the rooms. Lockers, staff beds and shelving from the same supplier arrive on the same schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What furniture is needed in a hotel room?
A standard hotel room needs a bed frame and headboard, two bedside tables, a wardrobe with an in-room safe, a luggage rack, a writing desk and chair, a lounge chair, a TV unit, a minibar cabinet and a mirror. Suites add a sofa, coffee table, dining table and a larger wardrobe.
What size bed is used in hotel rooms in India?
Most standard rooms use a king bed for a 72 × 78 inch (1830 × 1980 mm) mattress or a queen for 60 × 78 inches. Twin rooms use two single beds about 900–1070 mm wide.
What size safe does a hotel room need?
About 20–25 litres for a standard room, enough for a passport, wallet and a small laptop. Suites and business rooms are better with 35–45 litres.
How much spare furniture should a hotel order?
Order about 2–3% extra of each item so damaged pieces can be replaced quickly without waiting for a new production run.
Can one manufacturer supply all hotel furniture?
Yes. The Royal Safe Company makes guest-room furniture, in-room safes, lounge and restaurant furniture, staff lockers, staff beds and back-of-house shelving in its own factory, so a property can be furnished from one source.
