Airbnb aesthetics: how to dress your space

Creating an inviting and memorable Airbnb space is essential for attracting guests and ensuring they have a fantastic experience. Check out these Airbnb interior design ideas to help you easily dress your space in a way that’ll grab travellers’ attention online and increase the chances of overall satisfaction during their stay.

1. GO FOR CLEAN MINIMALIST

Cleanliness is non-negotiable in an Airbnb, and one of the things most likely to impact your guests’ perception of the space. A minimalist aesthetic can enhance the sense of cleanliness and space. Opt for neutral colours and simple, elegant furniture. This creates a blank canvas that appeals to a wide range of tastes and allows guests to feel at home without being overwhelmed by out-there decor.

2. INVEST IN HIGH QUALITY BEDDING AND LINENS

Give your guests the gift of a wonderful night’s sleep, by ensuring that bed linen is supremely comfortable and just a little luxurious. A beautiful cotton bedspread can work wonders when it comes to elevating your space and boosting comfort levels, especially when paired with crisp white sheets and good quality pillows.

3. DON'T FORGET ABOUT SOFT ACCESSORIES

Carefully selected, high-quality soft furnishings dotted around your Airbnb can transform the look and feel of the space, enhancing comfort levels and injecting a dose of style and colour. Cushions in interesting patterns and patterns make a fantastic addition, while stylish throws help the home feel cosy and inviting with their warmth and texture.

4. CONSIDER OUTSIDE SPACES

If your Airbnb has an outside space, make sure you take some time to think about dressing the exterior as well as the inside, especially in summer. If there’s an alfresco dining area, provide pretty table linen designed to be used outside, seat cushions for extra comfort and make sure there’s some stylish blankets on hand to keep your guests warm if the weather is a little chilly. And why not string up some festoon lighting to create a gorgeous glow?

5. FOCUS ON FUNCTIONALITY

Make sure that your Airbnb is easy to keep clean – as well as having everything your guests might need during their stay too. Use table cloths to protect your furniture and bedspreads to help reduce wear and tear on the bedding. Invest in plenty of tea towels, crockery and pretty drinkware, plus an assortment of towels for the bathroom. And be sure to leave out some basic cleaning bits for your guests to use too – that way, there’s more chance they’ll leave the space just as they found it.

6. PAY ATTENTION TO SMALL DETAILS

Delightful little details make all the difference to your guests’ perception of your Airbnb, and crucially, the reviews they’ll leave that’ll encourage other travellers to book a stay. Things like fresh flowers on the dining table, a friendly welcome note and basket of local snacks or simply a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge to greet your guests after their journey will go a long way.
