Spa Trends of 2022

Check out some of the latest trends in the spa industry and how Hollman lockers can help you achieve it.

When clients come to a spa, they vision a getaway place to relax and get pampered. While the services offered are crucial for clients, the environment is a significant factor in whether people decide to choose your spa for its service.

Creating an environment for your clients will attract new members and will drive retention rates up. Through color and design, décor can be an extension of your brand. With Hollman, design lockers that compliment your space while providing the necessary storage for your member’s personal.

TRENDING SPA STYLES

BOHO:

The look/concept: Browns, burgundy, white, and tan everything. Boho has popularly involved cacti and desert-type vibes, including items like fuzzy white rugs, gold accents shown through lighting and art pieces, and natural wood. The boho-chic style is notorious for having neutral or earth tones with a free-flowing design. 

GARDEN:

The look/concept: Bringing the outdoors in with nature-inspired designs and decorations. Natural wood, green tones with biophilic design accents. Connecting with nature has been a trend in wellness for years and members will appreciate spas that embrace the great outdoors.

MINIMALIST:

The look/concept: Clean lines, monochromatic tones, neutrals, and simplicity. The style is truly “minimal” keeping rooms open, with lots of lighting, allowing accent pieces or lockers to be the focus of the room. 

Today’s spa are more than retreat spaces, thanks to health trends and customers who demand more for their membership dollar. See how Hollman can help you create a locker room that is functional, attractive, and above the competition.

        Project Insights: Elkhorn Lodge Ski Lockers

        ‘Exclusive, Premier, World-Class Elegance’ are all used to describe Elkhorn Lodge in Beaver Creek Resort with Hollman Club, Resort and Ski Lockers

        INTRODUCTION

        ‘Exclusive, Premier, World-Class Elegance’ are all used to describe Elkhorn Lodge in Beaver Creek Resort. In an upscale location, Elkhorn offers a spectacular backdrop for gatherings of 10-30 participants.’ The guests can enjoy skiing from a variety of villages between the resort. With all of the ski options the resort offers, Elkhorn needs to provide a storage solution while maintaining its exclusive and luxurious experience. For this reason, they partnered with Hollman Ski Lockers to develop a storage solution.

        CHALLENGE

        Like other companies, Elkhorn wants to provide germ-free, clean, and safe facilities for their customers and guests. Secondly, they want their lockers to be durable, water-resistant, and functional. Additionally, they need to be large enough to store skis, snowboards, and additional gear.

        SOLUTION + BENEFIT

        Elkhorn’s design team, Victor Mark Donaldson Architects, was aware of the challenges they needed to overcome. With Hollman lockers’ help, they were able to go above and beyond Elkhorn Lodge’s expectations and needs. Hollman provided single-tier, wood veneer lockers with a nanolam interior, solid surface shelving, and some benches. 

        The single-tier model A lockers are 30W x 30D x 84L. Certainly large enough to store guest skis, snowboards, and gear. The lockers also have a water-resistant core. The MedEx core stops the veneer lockers from absorbing water. The nanolam interior is antimicrobial and keeps mold and bacteria from growing. 

        The wood veneer flat benches are 20W x 60L and stained to match the lockers. Hollman also provided Elkhorn Lodge with amenities such as wood-framed mirrors and foldable towel rack wall mounts.

        RESULTS

        With the help of Hollman club, resort, and ski lockers, Elkhorn Lodge was able to keep their club experience comfortable, luxurious, and clean. Hollman’s team worked together to develop the ultimate storage solution for Elkhorn’s guests’ ski equipment and belongings.

        In conclusion, Elkhorn Lodge’s ski lockers provide guests space to store their skis, snowboards, and gear without worrying about bacteria, mold, or damage. The nanolam interior is antimicrobial material that reduces the chance of staph infection by 99.79%. This high-tech laminate resists scratches and abrasions which may occur from ski equipment. The lockers also have a MedEx core to protect against the melted snow.

        Above all, these lockers are durable, antimicrobial, and water-resistant. At the same time, maintaining the luxurious, exclusive experience, Elkhorn Lodge provides.

              Wood Veneer Lockers that Set the New Gold Standard

              At Hollman, we are known for our craftsmanship of wood veneer lockers, which is why BoardRoom Magazine named Hollman Locker Room Firm of the Year 4 years in a row.

              Our ability to design and directly manufacture lockers in our Irving, Texas warehouse has given us the capability to find the most innovative solutions and designs for our customers. Our dedicated in-house woodworking and custom stain shop also allow us the flexibility to provide the customer with lockers that are custom matched to their environment.

              Over the last 44 years, we continue to improve our veneer locker methods by implementing new woodworking technology. Perfecting our methods starts with our selection of premium grade wood veneer. Our veneer has a solid, stable medium density fiberboard (MDF) with a concealed core. These features help provide a better solution over solid wood as it helps your locker avoid warping, contracting, or expanding over time. We know this solution is crucial which is why we incorporate it on all locker doors and end panels.

              To create the perfect color consistency and grain Hollman uses premium logs for cut and production. In addition to that, our automated stain process guarantees 99% less yellowing than traditional lacquer.

              Our stain process provides a consistent look other companies have difficulty achieving while ensuring our veneer lockers are the most sustainable and durable option available on the market. We use a UV finish on all locker doors to create a more durable locker that is antimicrobial and formaldehyde-free over competitor lockers stained with pre-catalyzed lacquers.

              We understand that your lockers should be built to withstand everyday wear and tear over time which is why, with our manufacturing capabilities, we are one of the only manufacturers offering 1-inch thick locker doors. To enhance your member’s experience, complete your locker with modern amenities including USB device charging, integrated lighting, and compartmentalized custom storage. 

              Hollman wood veneer lockers come in a wide range of wood species, stains, as well as a wide range of door styles that will perfectly complement your space, whether that be classic, traditional, or contemporary.

                  “There was a lot of anticipation and excitement with the opening of our new clubhouse here at Quail Ridge Country Club. Peacock & Lewis did a magnificent job of designing the new clubhouse to meet the needs of our current and future membership,” said Quail Ridge Country Club President Gerry Leider. “The outdoor bar, porches, terraces, patios and fire pit conversation areas have become the talk of the community even well ahead of the opening.  I personally can’t wait to enjoy my first occasion with friends for a drink and a fine meal.”
