Space hotels in the early days will be very simple. Being inflatable, there will be a lot of living space inside, compared to the tuna can-type modules on the ISS. The interior décor will be simple, to make sure people can find things easily. Many luxurious materials possible in Earth construction will not be allowed in space, as they can burn easily and give off poisonous gases. However, we can create interesting spaces by other means; for example, with light-emitting diode (LED) lighting that can change colors depending on functions or moods.
