If you're looking to improve the look and feel of your
vacation rental, you might be tempted to turn to lavish, pricey renovations. The
industry is competitive, and many owners believe they must have the best
furnishings and décor to stand out. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
More than anything, guests value cleanliness, simple touches and a rental that
matches the description. If you want to improve your rental, you don’t have to
spend a lot or have all the bells and whistles. Instead, focus on subtle
changes that leave a lasting impression.
Do you need some ideas to get started? Here are some thrifty
ways you can spruce up your vacation rental, make it appealing to guests and
increase occupancy rates.
3
Affordable Ways to Spruce Up Your Vacation Rental
1. Give Your Outdoor
Areas Some Attention
You may not think your front porch is the most important
part of your rental, but it’s still the first thing guests see. If dead plants
and spider webs are the first thing to greet your visitors, it’s time to give
the space a facelift. Make sure your outdoor areas (including balconies and
patios) are well-lit, tidy and appealing. Feel free to add some fresh potted
plants and flowers, but ensure that these can be maintained regularly. Then,
make your patio or yard feel especially relaxing by adding extra touches.
Consider visiting yard sales or thrift shops to find affordable patio furniture
and decorations like citronella candles and welcome signs.
2. Declutter Your
Bookshelves and Cabinets
It’s easy to forget this step when sprucing up your vacation
rental. Some rental owners leave outdated brochures and board games with
missing pieces on their shelves for years. The next time you have a chance, go
through these to weed out the clutter. Any old papers or filled guest books
should be tossed along with menus for restaurants that are no longer in
business. Remember, anything in your cabinets and shelves is on display for
guests. When they see that all of your booklets are outdated, they will wonder
what else you are cutting corners on. This is an easy, free thing to do, and
your guests will undoubtedly appreciate it.
3. Paint One Room at a
Time
Painting can be an arduous task, but it’s also fairly
inexpensive compared to other renovation projects. Plus, you don’t have to
paint every room in your rental at once. Think about the areas your guests
frequent most. When was the last time you painted them? Some spaces you should
consider are the kitchen, the living room and the entryway (including doors). Also,
if you want a whole new look, why not try a fresh, vibrant color? Not every
room needs to be white, beige or pastel! It’s a vacation rental, after all, and
guests are staying at your place for a new, exciting experience. Let your
creativity shine. You’ll be surprised by how a fresh coat of paint will spruce
up your vacation rental and make it feel brand new.
