EasyHotels To 'Significantly Reduce' Their Orange Color Scheme

EasyHotel, much loved for its reasonably priced rooms but equally loathed for its cramped, cruise cabin-like quarters, is getting closer to being the budget-minded hotel chain of all of our dreams.

Starting with its London Heathrow property, the chain is redesigning its rooms to be more spacious, stylish and functional. Working with London-based architects ZMMA, new easyHotel rooms will:

...Aim to build on the existing room model with the addition of in-room luggage storage, improved clothes hanging facility, shelving and space for all those 'knick-knacks and new, more flexible, lighting options to improve comfort and functionality. Working with ZMMA, easyHotel have also introduced a new, contemporary and complementary colour scheme, which will see the hotel group significantly reduce the amount of trademark orange used in its bedrooms.

To which we say, thank God. That orange always seemed like the lighter shade of a scarlet letter for penny-pinching travelers.
