DÉCOR
Your vacation home’s interior should only represent your
personal style if you do not plan on renting it out. Feel free
to add your own unique characteristics to the home if you
are going to be the only one spending vacation time in it.
However, if you plan on renting out the property for a pe-
riod of time, you will want to keep it somewhat neutral, with
only a few d ecorations that give your style away. For ex-
ample, a neutral bathroom with fluffy white towels and a
simple vase of flowers on the vanity says, “I’m comfortable
and clean.” A bathroom with a bunch of different patterns
and magazine stacked in a basket says, “I’m lived in,” and
will remind your guests that they are definitely far from
home.
Make sure the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils
and any other basic items that you or your guests may
need. The hardest thing to deal with when renting a vaca-
tion home is realizing that you truly don’t have all the com-
forts. Providing a clean surface with a coffee pot in plain
sight, and add greenery wherever space seems barren.
The use of house plants in various corners of each room
offers the illusion of life and breathability. This will make it
easier to enjoy the space, and will bring a little bit of the
outdoors in, as well. Pops of color should be sparing but
still noticeable, such as a gray living space with tiny hints
of purple or blue in throws, décor, and/or paintings. Bring-
ing the space to life with minute color additions will bring
forth a tranquil energy without becoming to busy to the
eye.
