12 decorating tips for local accommodation
If you need original ideas to decorate local accommodation, you're in the right place. These tips are valuable to attract more and more guests.
Let's suppose you're thinking of entering the local accommodation market, or you're already in it and need to decorate your space...
First of all, you must make your guests feel at home, so focus on making the space welcoming.
To do this, follow these decoration tips for local accommodation that will make your space the most crowded of all. The first impact is always the most important, so grab a paper and a pen and be ready to take some notes.
1. Use wallpaper
Nowadays, there is no excuse for not choosing an original wallpaper, given the offer that exists. Choose a strategic space of the house (or apartment) and cover one of the walls with an original wallpaper—something that will easily highlight the room.
2. Give color to the site
Color is one of the most valued elements when choosing local accommodation to spend one or more nights. One of the best combinations out there is using the color on furniture or decorative objects such as sofas, pillows or carpets.
By doing so, you can keep the walls in a neutral color (such as white) and bet on a bold
element that makes itself noticed in the room.
3. Hang pictures and photographs
This is one of the best decoration tips for local accommodation that we can give you and that makes guests feel at home. Putting up pictures and/or photographs on the walls gives an important cultural feeling to any space.
Focus on the city where your accommodation is located, for example, and include references to it on the walls—such as maps, photographs of iconic places/monuments, people, among other options.
4. Choose original carpets
The carpets are great for giving more color and life to any site, besides being the ideal solution to hide certain defects or less suitable floors. Choose those that have different geometric shapes and contrasting colors, because we’re sure you will love them.
5. Decorate the shelves
If you already have shelves hanging on a wall, make sure you decorate them appealingly. You can do it with posters, pictures, photographs, books or even plants. The sky is the limit when it comes to the possibilities of objects that can be placed there.
6. Choose the right plants
Plants always complement any decoration and bring more harmony to the local accommodation. The allusion to nature is immediate and the possibilities of choice are immense. If you choose fake plants, you benefit from the advantage of not needing maintenance.
7. Don't forget the lamps
One of the decoration tips for local accommodation that sometimes ends up forgotten is the placement of lamps near the bed(s). You can choose from table lamps, standing lamps or even those fixed to the wall.
8. Place mirrors in the room(s)
In addition to the bathroom, it is important to place mirrors in rooms such as the bedroom(s). In this case, you can even go for tall mirrors, with vintage framing, an element that will greatly enrich the decoration of the room.
9. Choose the right curtains
For each room, a different kind of curtain. You don’t need to, and should not, choose the same type for all the rooms in the local accommodation you are decorating. In the bedroom, you can choose the tallest and longest ones, while in the kitchen you can even include blinds.
10. Add a different headboard
Often forgotten, bed headboards can detach any room—such as the master bedroom, for example. In addition to bringing more color to any space, they give it a certain refinement, something that many guests (also) seek.
11. Create a playing area
It is unusual to see these areas in local accommodations, so this is a great tip to differentiate yours from the competition.
Choose the indicated toys, such as those made of wood, and strategically place them in one of the rooms of the place—differentiate the area with different wall colors, for example.
