We strongly believe that the home is an experience for the traveler, holiday or business travelers, whoever has chosen to stay here.

Home-away-from-home feels

Some of the things that stand out our properties from traditional hotels are space and comfort. It’s important that your home feels fresh, whilst also giving a sense that it’s been lived in to add character.

Try a fresh coat of paint. A good tip is to use color notes and textures on a neutral basis. Neutral walls are a great bank canvas for your colorful, more personal touches, and there’s no chance of them putting any guests off.

For a small place, we recommend using mirrors that make the room feel much larger. You can also utilize some tricks with the wall painting. Paint a dark green feature wall and bring in some floor lamps and wall light with warm bulbs, and you have a sophisticated room which all of your guests will love!

Decorative elements such as cushions, candles, blankets, books or even just some flowers can give more character to space and make it feel more lived in, and also adds some pops of color. A rug can be also a great statement in any living space, complementing other furnishings while adding a layer of comfort. Boldly patterned rugs are an easy way to enhance a room’s style.

These techniques will decorate and warm the space, and also give the feeling of a bigger dimension. Your personal items can help tell your “story”, allow your guests to see where you have traveled, what art you enjoy or perhaps what books you read.

A good balance between neutral and character is a key, Think with them in mind, do not mix too many designs and colors; when in doubt remember: Less is more!

Make it a local experience

Guests often choose a home rental for a more authentic experience in their destination of choice. When designing your home, make it an exciting place that offers insight into the surrounding area. Each room should be an area to explore. From local delicacies to relevant pieces of art or books. Be sure to include items you wouldn’t find in a hotel room. Wall art, fine art landscape photograph of the surrounding is always a plus. Today it is very easy, and you don’t need to spend a lot. Search in vintage shops, local markets, or do it yourself!

A picture tells a thousand words

Last but not least, a professional and styled photoshoot will make all the difference!

Finding the right light and capturing the best angle is vital to showcasing the best features of your property to potential guests. The photos you take of your property not only show guests what space is like, but it also gives them an insight into the level of service.
