Your property is your business 

Airbnb is thriving with thousands of active Airbnb listings at any given time, not to mention other online platforms too, such as Tripadvisor and Booking.com. For you as a host, this means a bit of healthy competition. 

Hosting on Airbnb requires more than just the essentials to achieve a great guest experience. It’s about creating a space which your guests will find comfortable and enjoyable. 

This can be accomplished by spending time on decoration and by choosing the right equipment. As the better the features and feel of your property, the more likely you are to improve your reviews and then you can charge a higher nightly rate. 

 

Stand out 

Every guest spends roughly around 5 seconds checking out a listing on Airbnb. This is your opportunity to grab their attention. Great photos capturing a thoughtfully decorated and charming home is a sure way to boost bookings. 

More bookings = more revenue 

Individuals choose rental properties instead of hotels because they want to feel at home; they like the uniqueness and personality of a place. Here is your chance to make your rental stand out above the rest. 

 

 

Decorating your space

 

Texture

The texture is key to creating a successful design scheme. A plain room can be styled in many different ways. Adding silky cushions or having a feature wall, can liven up and add texture to the room. A quick and easy way to create a more luxurious space is by adding decorative pillows and thick throws over beds – it can also add comfort. 

 

Light 

Natural light not only benefits our health and well-being but also affects how colours appear. A south-facing room will experience the maximum amount of light, whereas rooms facing north will be slightly darker. Therefore, before decorating, always check the light in your room. Paint colours can seem a completely different hue from one room to another! 

 

Nail the floorplan

Your space needs to be functional. Ensure there is enough room to move around without having to stretch too far for a cup of coffee or making sure you’re not shouting across the room to have a conversation. 

 

Finishing touches

Consider other ways to add colour and life to your rooms, such as adding plants or a well-placed side table. Or consider things such as smells by adding a nice diffuser. These small things can make a huge difference.
