The pacific northwest is referred to as "God's country" by many people - mostly proud and hardy Washingtonians, but once you've visited the naturally rugged terrain and plush green valleys and forests, experienced the electrifying energy of cities like Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland, and Salem you too will agree living in Washington and Oregon is as close to nature's heaven as it gets. Rich in culture and unique museums, items like stanchions and rope are in constant demand in Seattle museums, and also in Tacoma, where art galleries, and exhibitions are found everywhere! Art has expanded in such a way that it's no longer restricted to traditional venues, and we find impressive collections in the lobby of public buildings, and even hotels. Here are a few tips on the varied styles of stanchions that will not only suit hotel art exhibits, but also the the overall design of the hotel!
They go by many names: "crowd control posts," "rope barriers," "barrier posts," and "crowd control barriers." And stanchions are in fact, slim, cylinder shaped standing posts constructed of plastic, or metal and they serve to guide the flow of foot traffic, or cordon off priceless items from being damaged by high traffic of people in a museum, hotel, gallery, and other art exhibit locations. CeremonialSupplies.com is dedicated to providing not just the best quality stanchions and ropes available in the market today, we also offer a variety of styles at budget friendly prices, with efficient and prompt shipping anywhere in the world, and a knowledgeable and attentive customer service staff. Our selection of stainless steel metal stanchions include the classic brass, ball top, the chrome flat top, and the chrome urn shape top, and the black matte post with flat top. These different styles are meant to complement decor, and blend with the aesthetics of a location. The different types of rope for these stanchions range from velour, to roped, in solid red, blue, and black. For more informal, practical, or outside venues, our selection of hitching post style plastic stanchions with chain links are available in black, yellow, and white. These barrier posts are economical and lightweight to transport or ship since they are hollow on the inside, and then filled with sand or water for stabilizing.

For the purpose of hotel stanchions, here are some things to consider:
Chrome Remains Popular For Modern Contemporary Architecture Hotels
Downtown Seattle boasts modern architecture hotels like the W and the Four Seasons; definitely top of the line in sleek, edgy, and contemporary decor. The color scheme of both hotels feature the color grey, with chrome details in the furniture. The artwork in these hotels, particularly the Four Seasons, which is next to the Seattle Art Museum, is placed on the walls as part of the overall decoration of the hotel, practically an informal extension of the Seattle Art Museum. The works are large, with pieces taking up extensive wall space. Stanchions and rope, or other types of barrier posts meant to protect the artwork are not necessary since the furniture is arranged for this purpose. However where crowd control barriers are necessary to streamline large registration blocks, or manage crowd entrance into the ballrooms, the best style stanchions to fit in with modern and contemporary designs are the stainless steel chrome stanchions with either the urn shape top, or the flat top. The flat top chrome stanchion comes with grooves that allow ropes to be attached in different configurations. Another style to consider for fashionable hotel stanchions is the black matte with either a flat top or chrome urn top - which is an outstanding accessory for elegant and ultra chic hotel decoration. The rope design that best fits this type of stanchion would be a solid (not intertwined) velour rope in blue, which is representative of cool, understated elegance. For events taking place in contemporary and modern hotel venues, the best stanchions and rope to use would be any combination of the black matte or the stainless steel chrome plated stanchions, with the rope of a solid velour color of blue, or black.
Gold Is Best For Classic Vintage Style Architecture
The Fairmont Olympic in downtown Seattle is considered the premier luxury hotel in Washington State. It was built during the gilded age of the roaring twenties when wealth and opulence were the trends. The hotel's Italian Renaissance breathtaking architecture is in itself the artwork of this classical style hotel that features deep wood and gold tones, with intricate balustrades and arches, and golden chandeliers. A popular destination for conventioneers, when it comes to crowd management for registration, the most fitting style of crowd management stanchions would be the brass plated classical stanchions with dome top, and the braided rope in rich, red velvet with gold hook. This classic style stanchion and rope serves as guide posts for the flow of traffic, and also complements the lavish and rich decorative accents found throughout the hotel.
Hitching-post Style Stanchions For The Wild West Flavor of Seattle
The "wild west" history of the pacific northwest in cities like Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland, Salem and many others, is still today an element of style in some of the oldest established hotels. The Edgewater, perched on Pier 67 of Seattle's waterfront, was built in rustic, wild west log cabin and rock style for the 1962 World's Fair. Its unique and rural design, combined with quality furniture make this hotel a top favorite in Seattle. The Edgewater's style is undeniably upscale, and brass, classic stanchions definitely complement the furnishings and fixtures. This kind of rugged quality style can also use barrier posts constructed from fade resistant, sturdy, polyethylene thermoplastic derivative, making these lightweight stanchions easy to carry or transport. Their hollow interior can be filled with water or sand for stability, and the chain link rope is easily clasped to the stanchions. These posts are versatile in that they are strong and durable for outdoor events, and pretty enough to use inside.
