Design Tips

 

1. Know Your Audience

• Tailor the design to your target market. For example, a cozy, homey feel for families, or a sleek, modern look for business travelers.

2. Maximize Comfort

• Invest in a high-quality mattress and bedding. Comfortable sleep is one of the most important factors for guests.

• Provide a variety of pillows and extra blankets.

3. Functional Furniture

• Choose furniture that serves multiple purposes, such as a sofa bed or a desk that doubles as a dining table.

• Ensure there is ample storage space, including hangers, drawers, and luggage racks.

4. Clean and Declutter

• Keep the space clean and clutter-free. Minimalism not only looks better but also makes the room feel more spacious.

• Use smart storage solutions to keep personal items and supplies out of sight.

5. Thoughtful Decor

• Incorporate local art or photography to give the space a unique, local touch.

• Use a consistent color scheme to create a cohesive look. Neutral tones with pops of color work well.

• Add some greenery with low-maintenance plants to bring life to the room.

6. Lighting Matters

• Ensure there is ample lighting, including task lighting (e.g., bedside lamps) and ambient lighting (e.g., overhead lights).

• Use warm light bulbs to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

7. Personal Touches

• Provide books, magazines, or board games for guests to enjoy.

• Consider leaving a welcome note or a small welcome gift, like local snacks or a bottle of wine.

8. Tech-Friendly

• Provide high-speed Wi-Fi and clearly display the network name and password.

• Offer charging stations or multiple outlets near the bed and desk areas.

9. Bathroom Essentials

• Stock the bathroom with high-quality towels, toiletries, and a hairdryer.

• Ensure the bathroom is sparkling clean and well-maintained.

10. Kitchen

• If you have a kitchenette, equip it with basic cooking utensils, dishes, and appliances.

• Provide coffee station (we prefer Keurig), along with coffee options. 

11. Safety and Accessibility

• Ensure the space is safe, with working smoke detectors, a first aid kit, and clear emergency exit instructions.

• Make the space accessible to all guests, including those with disabilities, if possible.

12. Local Information

• Provide a guidebook with local recommendations for dining, attractions, and transportation.

• Include any personal recommendations or family favorites to help guests explore the area.

13. Photography

• Use high-quality photos in your listing. Bright, well-lit images showcasing the best features of your space will attract more bookings.

• Highlight unique features, such as a beautiful view, a cozy reading nook, or a stylish kitchen.

 

By focusing on comfort, functionality, and thoughtful details, you can create a memorable and appealing Airbnb room that guests will love and recommend.
