Art for Vacation Rentals
Artwork for Vacation Rentals
Short-term rentals are an exciting way to optimize income from real estate investments and the market has been growing rapidly since Airbnb was launched in 2008. With over 660,000 listings in the United States on Airbnb alone, it has become highly competitive. Considering that only 11% of the listings are booked on an average night, to be successful you’ve got to make your listing stand out.
Since guests book vacation rentals based on what they see in photos, one of the best ways to ensure the success of your listing is to invest in charming decor and eye catching artwork along with professional photography. Using Pinterest to organize your ideas can be very helpful during the design phase.
When decorating vacation rentals it’s important to tailor your offering to your target demographic and the neighborhood:
- 60% of all Airbnb guests are Millennials
- 54% of Airbnb guests are female
- Design elements should reflect whether it’s located in a city center, near a beach or a mountain retreat
- Bring in unique features of your neighborhood that will draw guests in
Selecting artwork for vacation rentals that is in alignment with these items will inspire potential guests to click on your listing and help them imagine themselves at home in your home. While it’s tempting to go with mass-produced art from IKEA it’s a misstep that will make your listing look like all the rest.
Turn Your Vacation Rental into an Art Gallery
As a host, your number one goal is to generate the maximum revenue possible. To accomplish this, many hosts are offering additional services and adding Airbnb Experiences but those take time, which you may not have. Another alternative is to turn your vacation rental into a revenue generating art gallery.
On vacation, money feels like an abstract concept, something spent with reckless abandon. Beyond treating oneself to special experiences, memorabilia are purchased as a way to remember the vacation. So why not capture a greater portion of their vacation spend and tempt your guests to take a piece of your beautifully decorated home back with them?
