Valley River Inn

The Valley River Inn, nestled along the picturesque banks of the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon, is a charming retreat that seamlessly blends natural beauty with modern comfort. This iconic hotel has been a beloved destination for travelers seeking a tranquil escape in the Pacific Northwest. The inn’s inviting ambiance is enhanced by its thoughtfully designed interior decor, which reflects a harmonious balance between rustic charm and contemporary elegance.

One of the standout features of the Valley River Inn’s interior is the use of wire mesh panels. Individual pieces of M22-43 and S-12 woven wire mesh were manufactured and the edges were "Flow" welded to create a rounded soft edge. Each pieces was sent out to be plated in a bright copper finish. The splash of color and mixture of texture adds visual interest to the space. These panels add a unique and sophisticated touch to the hotel’s decor. The intricate patterns of the wire mesh create a visually appealing texture that complements the warm, earthy tones of the surrounding furnishings. This design element not only adds an artistic flair but also serves a functional purpose by providing a sense of openness and airiness to the space.

The wire mesh panels are strategically incorporated throughout the hotel’s common areas, including the lobby, dining spaces, and event venues. In the lobby, the panels serve as elegant dividers that create intimate seating areas while maintaining a sense of connectivity. The interplay of light and shadow through the mesh adds depth and dimension to the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests as they arrive.

The event venues at the Valley River Inn also benefit from the incorporation of wire mesh panels. These versatile design elements can be used to create customized layouts for various events, from weddings to corporate gatherings. The panels’ modern yet timeless appeal ensures that any event held at the inn is imbued with a sense of sophistication and style. Overall, the use of wire mesh panels at the Valley River Inn exemplifies the hotel’s commitment to blending innovative design with a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
