To attract visitors, your vacation rental should be beautiful as well as functional. Here are a few ways to stand out in the rental market with new furniture and interior design tips.

How to Spruce Up Your Vacation Rental

1. Consider Your Ideal Guest

Different design styles appeal to different types of guests. College students on spring break will likely choose a different vacation rental than a professional on a business trip.

Decide who your target audience will be. If you’re renting to a businessman, get a desk and monitor. If you’re aiming for families, make room for a bigger sofa and bed.

The furniture is one of the first aspects potential guests pay attention to when looking at rental photos. If they see an outdated couch or kitchen chairs that need to be repainted, they’re less likely to consider staying at your vacation home.

Choose new furniture that will look good in pictures on rental websites. If the room’s overall color scheme is neutral, look for pieces that add pops of color.

In Hawaii, most guests will be coming to your rental expecting a tropical getaway, so play into that with your furniture and print choices. Bring footstools so people can put their feet up and lounge chairs out on the lanai or porch.

3. Choose Durability

When you’re remodeling and furnishing a rental property, you need to decorate with durability in mind. Having countless guests with varying lifestyle habits will take a toll on the furniture. 

Choose sturdy pieces that you can reupholster later if they get worn down. Also, buy new furniture in darker colors or patterns to hide stains.
