Renting Your Home on AirBNB? Find Out How to Create the Perfect Bedroo

February 10, 2017

It’s possible to make quite a bit of extra money renting your home on AirBNB, but of course it’s important to ensure you’re protecting your property. Depending on the city you live in, there may be hundreds or even thousands of homes you’re competing with. According to one study, the most important room to most people who book is the bedroom. After all, they’re likely going to be out and about touring during the day but they need a cozy place to sleep at night. Check out these expert ideas to create an inviting bedroom that they’ll look forward to coming home to.

The bed should be large enough to comfortably welcome several adults

It’s rare for people on these sites to travel alone, which means you’re going to need a bed that will work for several people. This doesn’t mean a twin bed, which may fit some couples – it means a big, cozy bed that two adults can enjoy. A queen is the minimum but you’re likely to get a lot more interest if you can offer a king bed.

Attract a variety of preferences with a classic style

You can’t please everyone all the time, and that’s certainly true when you’re decorating for this purpose. As you consider what options to choose, think about hotel rooms. The nicer a room is, the more likely it is that the décor is nice but understated. Why is that? It’s because modern, understated décor appeals to most people. You want your room to stand out because it looks comfortable and inviting – not because it looks like a unique room that only a portion of people will like.

Sleep is important

Most people traveling want a bedroom that focuses on sleep and exclusively sleep. Try to prevent making the bedroom too cluttered with electronics, knickknacks, or artwork. Choose a few tasteful pieces, stick to neutral colors, and make sure the bedding is comfortable.

Pay attention to the details

Remember that the people booking your home could stay in a hotel but they’re choosing to stay in a home because they want it to feel like a home. Make sure you have incredible draperies that help the room really feel as though it’s part of a home. Whether you choose our incredible faux silk curtains or our cellular shades, just be sure to keep it all understated and modern.
