Styling Your Luxury Airbnb Listing for a Unique Guest Experience
Today’s travelers are much more sophisticated and have a wider variety of rental options than ever before. When styling your rental, think about making it a unique experience rather than just another rental.
Creating a unique experience for your guests will result in positive reviews and future bookings. Here are some creative tips for doing just that…
1. Design with Your Ideal Guest in Mind
Are your guests working professionals? Offer up a work area where professionals can catch up with the office and return a few emails if needed. Are you hosting a couple looking to escape for the weekend? They might enjoy a wine exchange.
Create a wine rack area with the caption: take one, leave one. Welcome your guests with your favorite bottle of wine and encourage them to leave their favorite bottle in return. Over the years, your wine collection will grow while your rental becomes known for its unique experience.
2. Use Surroundings to Inspire the Color Palette
Let the location of your Airbnb lead the way. If your property is located near the beach, choose a calming, cool color palette. If your property is located in a remote area, a color scheme that is warm and inviting will appeal to your renters.
Use a bold color scheme to play off the energy of the big city if your rental is located in a down town area. Be sure to explore our shop, which has stunning furnishings to fit every color palette.
3. Update Light Fixtures
Outdated lighting makes for an outdated space. Head to your big box super store since they carry the latest styles in lighting fixtures. Surprisingly, you can replace your dining and entryway fixtures for under $500.
4. Choose Luxury Window Treatments
Quality window treatments can elevate a space, add a textural element, and even bring a pop of color. Lined or black out drapery can also lend to a better overall sleep experience for your guests.
5. Provide High Quality Linens
Don't skimp with inexpensive sheets and towels that look worn and tired after a few washes. Create a tactile experience for your guests with quality linens and sheets. Trust me, they will notice.
6. Bring Nature In with Greenery
Design a focal point with a greenery wall. Add live or faux plants to immediately catch the eye of your renters upon entry. Encourage them to use the greenery wall as a back drop for posting photos of their vacation get-a-way!
7. Hire Professionals to Photograph Your Listing
Great photos make for a great impression of your space. Hire a professional photographer to capture the best lighting and highlight the key features of your rental.
