4 Tips to an Airbnb-able Home

Traditionally, the primary options for those on the go are hotels, motels, resorts, timeshares, and bed and breakfasts. Every room looks the same, offers the same things, and, for the most part, provides the same experiences. All business matters are handled professionally and after guests leave the front desk, there is hardly any interaction between host and guest.

However, since 2008, Airbnb has taken the travel and lodging industry by a storm. Completely unique from the impersonal automation and strict business of the established lodging industry, Airbnb embraces the communion and intimacy of hosting (if wanted), specializes in providing one-of-a-kind housing options with all sorts of extraordinary exterior and interior designs, and encourages new and exciting experiences. Rent a quaint room for your one-night layover in between your hiking days on the mountaintops of Peru, a tropical beachfront bungalow for a honeymoon getaway with your new life partner, or a magnificent redwood cabin in the heart of the forest for a restful family holiday.

On one hand, Airbnb provides a neat opportunity for travelers and vacationers to spend the night in a home away from home. But on the other hand, Airbnb gives property owners a chance to become an entrepreneur and share a piece of themselves with others. However, with hundreds and thousands of listings in nearly all of the countries in the world, how does one make their property stand out? What is the art of Airbnb?

1. Pictures, pictures, pictures. Almost always, the first thing potential tenants scroll through as they look for their next nest, are your pictures. The quality and style of photographs can say a lot about the homeowner and how much they care for their home. Someone who dedicates a sufficient amount of time, energy, and even money on their listing’s pictures most likely also spends a good amount of time caring for the house itself. An ample amount of pictures highlighting your home’s best features with the proper lighting, symmetry, and color, can go a long way on such a modernized application.

2. Maximize the minimal. A current trend throughout the interior design industry is the incorporation of minimalist design. Nowadays, the homes that draw attention are the ones bedecked in white walls, open spaces, subtle colors, and large, panoramic window doors that provide natural lighting and a view. Either vintage or contemporary interior design may constitute a beautiful Airbnb home, as long as it remains open and refined.

3. Win them over with additional amenities. One option when browsing Airbnbs that can narrow down your search is checking for specific features. Some of these include free parking on the premises, gym, hot tub, air conditioning, kitchen, bathtub, and more. Basically, the more amenities, the more attractive your listing becomes! Although, with certain constraints, sometimes it’s not so easy to add a gym to your home, but, if given the opportunity, homeowners should try to take advantage of the enticement of luxuries. Allure newlyweds to your honeymoon haven with a luxurious bath in an enticing, romantic clawfoot tub meant for two complemented by perfumed candles and flowers. Excite kids with the promise of cannon balls and floaties with a stunning pool. Captivate a savvy cook with the allure of an exquisite pull-down kitchen faucet and farmhouse sink duo. With more and more additions, the possibilities are endless.

4. Go bold. Minimal design is consistently favored in the Airbnb search. But one exclusive trait of this particular resource is the opportunity to spend a night in a home unique to your own. Elevate the excitement of travel and lodging by creating something one-of-a-kind. Airbnb brilliantly provides an outlet for the wonderful and uncommon to share a piece of themselves.

There are many ways to create a great Airbnb, but the most important part is to take advantage of the excellent opportunity it provides!
