6 Ideas for Decorating Rental Rooms
Your potential guests, when looking for a room to stay in, are usually looking for three main things: The first is a modern decoration style, the second a generous dose of comfort and the third small touches of luxury. At the same time, however, they are also looking for a fourth thing, the best possible quality-price ratio. As expected, a beautiful rental room will lead to more clicks, and even if the price is right, to more bookings and therefore profit for you. But is it possible to achieve all of this, with a not-so-new room, without the need for a radical renovation? The answer is an emphatic "yes"!
Upgrade your bedding
Bed linens play a big role in the initial impression that potential visitors will form in the first few seconds when viewing the photos you have posted, as due to their size, they are usually the first thing that the eye "falls" on. If the bed linens are printed, then it is almost certain that interested parties will proceed to the next ads, as printed bed linens are not only not considered fashionable, but are almost always synthetic, as a result of which they do not offer a pleasant feeling to the skin.
Even if they are modern, keep in mind that the quality of your bedding greatly affects how your guests perceive comfort, so it would be wise to invest in fabrics with natural fibers, such as cotton and down.
Make sure you have comfortable chairs and armchairs
Depending on the size of the room and its layout, a room, in addition to a bed , two bedside tables , and a wardrobe , may also have a desk with a chair , a dining table and chairs , a sofa and coffee table , or even outdoor furniture , if it has a balcony or yard.
In any case, your guests want to be able to relax when they are in your room, so it would be a good idea to offer them chairs and armchairs with modern lines, but which are also comfortable for prolonged use. We recommend wood as a construction material, as natural materials are more relaxing to the eye, but at the same time durable, even in outdoor weather conditions.
Paint the walls in neutral shades
Wallpaper, mustard walls and walls with strong color contrasts are a thing of the past. Neutral shades, as well as warm pastels, are now dominant, due to the "warm" and relaxed feeling they evoke in visitors.
You probably only need to paint your walls about once every two to three seasons, so opt for a cheap brand-name paint; expensive ones probably won't offer more durability to the point where the difference in price is worth it.
Renew the wall decoration
More than ever, guests are looking for memorable experiences on their travels, with younger generations (30 and under) particularly valuing uniqueness. You can easily achieve this with the wall decorations you choose, which should be in the same style as the room's furniture .
The cheapest option is to print out photos of the area and frame them, or create something of your own, your guests will appreciate your personal touch. Alternatively, you can purchase artwork from a local artist or even commercially available wall decorations , which are unusual.
Pay attention to the lighting
Lighting can make all the difference in a rental room. Competition is getting fiercer and with so many well-designed solutions in sconces , floor lamps , table lamps and ceiling lamps , your tenants will find no excuse for having "the pound" of lighting . Prefer LED bulbs, which have a longer lifespan, so they require less frequent changes, save more energy and at the same time do not produce heat, which will certainly be appreciated by your guests in the summer months.
Create a relaxation corner
If you have the space, place an armchair , a side table and a floor lamp in a corner. Not only will it be a place where your guests can relax, but it will also create a more relaxed and "homely" feel to the space. As an added bonus for you, it will also look amazing in your listing photos!
