Short Term Rentals: Successfully Decorate

When decorating a vacation rental property, it is important to weigh the balance between abundant hospitality and the need for the space to “feel clean, open and airy.”

Influence the look and feel of your listing by being inspired by what is currently popular in home décor. Right now, “global” style is trending which can be interpreted a number of ways. To get this look, mix and match different pieces from around the world to create an eclectic and unique space. Another trend that is big right now is mid-century modern – focus on clean lines, organic materials and a neutral color palette for a chic and timeless look. Create comfort by using textures that are soft and inviting.

If you want your rental to stand out from the rest, make it cozy and inviting with plenty of personal touches. This will help potential guests feel at home as soon as they walk in the door. Add throw blankets, cozy pillows, family photos and anything else that will make the space feel warm and inviting. Just be sure not to go overboard – you don’t want your guests to feel like they are living in someone else’s home. Art can make any space become more meaningful. It can also be a great conversation starter for guests. Choose pieces that reflect your personal style and make sure they are properly hung and lit.

For a homey feel, pay attention to how a room is lit. Pay attention to even, the lightbulbs. Bright lights often make a space feel less homey. Softer, more ambient lighting will make a room feel more inviting.

Strategically placed mirrors are not only helpful in making a space feel larger, but they can also reflect light and make a room brighter. The right window treatments can also help to filter light and create a desired ambiance.

Whatever style you choose, remember that less is more when it comes to vacation rental décor. Keep the space feeling clean, open and airy so that guests can relax and enjoy their stay.

With these tips, you can successfully decorate your vacation rental to make it stand out from the rest. By following trends and adding personal touches, you can create a space that guests will love and keep coming back to. Considerations for improving stays include practical and realistic design solutions. The influence of design on a property's attractiveness is significant. Create a home for the travelers to experience...not just to use as a "cheap stop".
