For more than 30 years, Diane Erich & Associates LP has represented premier contract hospitality manufacturers serving hotels, casinos, restaurants, and resorts throughout New England and the Northeast.
We connect designers, owners, purchasing agents, architects, and renovation teams with trusted FF&E manufacturers offering high-quality products for hospitality environments. From guestroom furniture and custom lighting to mirrors, drapery, textiles, area rugs, and decorative accessories, our role is to help hospitality professionals find the right products, the right manufacturers, and the right solutions for each project.
Whether you are designing a new boutique hotel, refreshing a restaurant interior, renovating guestrooms, upgrading casino public spaces, or sourcing durable contract-grade furnishings for a commercial environment, Diane Erich & Associates provides experienced regional support and access to carefully selected manufacturer lines.
Hospitality FF&E Support for Hotels, Restaurants, Casinos & Commercial Interiors
FF&E decisions shape the guest experience. Furniture, fixtures, lighting, textiles, mirrors, and decorative products must do more than look beautiful. They must perform under heavy use, meet project timelines, support the design concept, and fit within the operational realities of hospitality spaces.
Diane Erich & Associates works with hospitality professionals across New England and the Northeast who need reliable product guidance for:
- Hotel guestroom renovations
- Boutique hotel interiors
- Casino and resort spaces
- Restaurants and bars
- Lobbies and public areas
- Commercial lounges and amenity spaces
Our manufacturer lines support a wide range of project needs, including custom capabilities, contract-grade durability, design flexibility, and hospitality-focused production experience.
Representing Premier Contract Hospitality Manufacturers
As a hospitality manufacturers representative, Diane Erich & Associates helps bridge the gap between design vision and product execution. We represent manufacturers whose products are suited for the demands of hotel, restaurant, and casino.
Our represented categories include:
Custom Hospitality Lighting
Lighting is one of the most important elements in hospitality design. It affects mood, atmosphere, safety, visibility, and brand identity. We help designers and owners source lighting solutions for guestrooms, corridors, lobbies, restaurants, bars, bathrooms, and public spaces.
Available solutions may include decorative lighting, custom lighting, illuminated mirrors, bathroom lighting, guestroom fixtures, and specialty lighting products for hospitality environments.
Hospitality Furniture & Casegoods
Hotel furniture must balance aesthetics, durability, comfort, and long-term value. We represent manufacturers offering contract-grade furniture and casegoods for guestrooms, suites, public areas, restaurants, and commercial interiors.
Product categories may include seating, tables, nightstands, desks, headboards, wardrobes, vanities, and other custom or semi-custom furniture solutions.
Mirrors, Lighted Mirrors & Mirror TVs
Mirrors are a major design and functional element in guestrooms, bathrooms, spas, and public spaces. We support hospitality projects requiring lighted mirrors, decorative mirrors, mirror televisions, and specialty mirror products designed for commercial use.
Drapery, Textiles & Window Treatments
Window treatments and textiles contribute to privacy, acoustics, comfort, energy performance, and visual identity. We help source hospitality-focused drapery, sheers, blackout solutions, decorative textiles, and related soft-goods options.
Area Rugs & Decorative Flooring Elements
Area rugs can define spaces, soften acoustics, introduce color, and support a property’s design narrative. We represent hospitality rug and textile resources suitable for lobbies, lounges, restaurants, guestrooms, and public spaces.

Why Work With a Hospitality Manufacturers Representative?
Hospitality FF&E sourcing is complex. A product may look right visually but still fail to meet the requirements of a hotel, casino, restaurant, or commercial project. Lead times, customization options, durability, maintenance, installation needs, freight logistics, and manufacturer capabilities all matter.
Working with an experienced manufacturers representative gives your team access to product knowledge that goes beyond a catalog.
Diane Erich & Associates helps clients evaluate:
- Which manufacturer best fits the project
- Which product categories need custom versus standard solutions
- Which materials are appropriate for contract hospitality use
- How product choices support the design concept
- How lead times and specifications may affect the project schedule
- Which options may offer better long-term value
- How to coordinate multiple FF&E categories within a project
The result is a more informed, efficient, and practical sourcing process.
FF&E Solutions for Renovation and New Construction
Hospitality projects often move quickly, especially renovations where downtime affects revenue. Selecting the right FF&E partners early can help reduce delays, improve coordination, and avoid costly changes later in the process.
Diane Erich & Associates supports both new construction and renovation projects, including:
- Guestroom refreshes
- Full hotel renovations
- Restaurant redesigns
- Lobby and public-space upgrades
- Casino interior updates
- Brand conversion projects
- Boutique hospitality projects
We help project teams identify product lines that align with the design direction, project scope, budget expectations, and performance requirements.
