Designing and Furnishing Your AirBnB
Make It Stand Out.
Ever hunt on AirBnB for a cool place to stay on your vacaction and everything starts to look the same? Take note as a potential investor, because this is something you want to master from the outset: make your AirBnB listing stand out.
The first step is to see what your competition is doing. Check out the listings in your neighborhood to see if you can identify any decor themes. Is it mountain kitch? Or shabby chic? Maybe there’s a Scandanavian minimalist theme, rustic wodded cabin motif, or some surfy beach vibes going on. In any case, your job is to create a theme that is unique and authentic to your location and the experience you want your guests to have in your vacation rental.
Second, you’ll want to pick a focus area for your rental - the spot where you really dial things in and make it special. This can be the kitchen by stocking it with all the gadgets, tools, and spices so your guests can master any culinary adventure they choose to undertake. Perhaps is the living room, where you amp up the comf vibes with colorful, soft throw pillows, cozy blankets, and lots of seating for folks to gather round and spend time together. Another option is the outdoor space - everyone loves a cool deck area or firepit for roasting some marshmallows as the stars come out.
Whatever area you focus on, make it unique and ensure that it connects back to the overall theme you’ve chosen for your vacation rental. Inspiration is just a few clicks away on Pinterest, AirBnB and other interior design websites. And it doesn’t have to cost a fortune either. You can make a cool, inviting space on a budget by choosing your focus area to splurge, and keeping the rest minimal yet consistent.
