ARTWORK Guests are looking for a memorable place to spend their vacation , so it ’ s worth investing in statement art pieces to make the living room extra special . If you haven ’ t shopped for artwork for your home before , it can be helpful to start by thinking about the type of market you are in . For instance , beach markets may want to play up the local beachfront with artwork that showcases a well-known ocean , sunset , or scene in the area . Additionally , if your walls are white , artwork is a great way to begin adding pops of color to the room .
WINDOW COVERINGS Outfit your windows with either curtains or blinds . This gives guests control over their privacy and the amount of light that streams into the living room . However , avoid vertical blinds or mini plastic blinds , as they can break easily .
ACCENT WALL AND PLANTS One of the most fun interior design trends in vacation rentals is a stand out accent wall that adds texture , color , or both to one wall . Accent walls are a great way to upgrade your vacation rental quickly , and shows your guest that your rental is modern and keeping up with modern home design . Adding a statement plant or plants all around are an easy way to add that modern touch and another way to upgrade your existing rental .
LIGHTING Prioritize good lighting . Just as glaring fluorescent lighting can make a room feel stark and unpleasant , soft lighting puts guests at ease and sets a relaxing ambiance . Include a floor lamp or smaller table lamps when guests want to read or have a movie night .
