How to Furnish Your AirBnB: Furniture Tips & Tricks for Rental Properties

With Airbnb, Homeaway and Tripping, giving out your apartment or spare room for short-term holiday rentals is a great source of income. Apart from the affordability, holidaymakers lean toward resident-owned apartments because they want to feel comfortable in a home-like environment — experiencing a bit more authenticity in the place they’re temporarily inhabiting.

At the same time, as full paying guests, the ‘home experience’ can’t be drearily domestic. Presentation is everything and, in order to get the best price for your space, you need an inviting set up, striking the right balance between the comforts of a home and the luxury of a good hotel room. And the way to get it all right is… the right decor.

Why Furniture

Whether in the photographs up on the website to attract potential customers, or the first (and lasting) impressions of guests who will review you later, furniture will play a huge role.

Furniture Essentials for Holiday Rentals

Tips For A Five-Star Living Room

The living room should welcome your guests as well as reassure them that they made the right decision with their booking. Airy and bright living rooms are most appealing, so choosing furniture that is comfortable but not overstuffed is a good idea.

Sofa: Get a sofa that is space appropriate, comfortable but not too bulky — you can always add cushions for added coziness. A convertible couch can accommodate another guest which you will be able to charge for.

Coffee Table: A great addition to make your living room look complete. Coffee tables give your guests room to place their drinks and snacks when hanging around indoors, as well as space for out-the-door items like maps and keys.

Lounge Chairs: One or two good looking armchairs adds a bit of character and color to your decor.

Rugs: Textiles can add warmth to the room, literally and visually. A good quality rug keeps the living area homely and toasty. And when you rent, maintenance is on us, so you won’t have to bother about guests carelessly trampling on it.

Lamps: A stylish floor lamp or a few table lamps don’t just look great, it also gives your guests the option of adjusting the lighting according to their preferences.

Bedroom Essentials For Sweet Slumber

The bedroom needs to focus on comfort. At CasaOne, we pride ourselves on choosing beds and mattresses that are supportive and soothing for a good night’s rest after a busy day of touring.

Bed: A queen size bed in the master bedroom can fit two comfortably without taking up too much square footage. For smaller additional bedrooms, a convertible sofa is a convenient space saver.

Mattress: CasaOne’s range of mattresses for rent are scientifically engineered and tested through sleep trials to guarantee a good night’s rest.

Side Table: One on either side for night-time essentials like cosmetics, and things guests need on hand like spectacles, books, mobile phones and tablets.

Storage: A chest of drawers or a cupboard can give your guests the homely convenience of not having to rummage through their suitcases when looking for clothes.

Lamps: Add a touch of cosiness and class with attractive table lamps for rent — also great for night reading or mood lighting.

Keeping The Kitchen Holiday-friendly

A fully functional kitchen is a big draw for visitors, especially families, as its a huge money saver when on holiday.

Dining set: For spacious rooms, add a dining table set for two or four — as your room permits. People love sit down meals.

Stools: If your kitchen isn’t large enough, don’t bother with a table. You can add a couple of stools to make hanging about in it easier while one person is doing the cooking.

Decor To Bring It All Together

Small touches through decor accessories can really brighten up a home. Choose from CasaOne’s range of plants, vases, planters, cushions and wall art. To perfectly tie in your interiors.

When you are renting out your home, good looks and quality sell (and we should know). Decking out your apartment is crucial to getting customers. But it doesn’t have to be laborious or expensive. Renting furniture cuts out the hassle and financial burden of a home makeover, leaving you with the perfect put-together holiday pad for your guests to enjoy and gush over.
