These days, savvy travellers turn to Airbnb when looking for accommodation while on holidays. Aside from being relatively cheaper and equipped with most of the facilities you need, there are some that are pretty cool in terms of décor, offering you that chic home-away-from-home experience. Why not take cue from these ideas and create your very own vacay home with your personal touch? You don’t even have to wait for the next holiday.
1. Quirky always seems to be the theme when it comes to most Airbnb – and when done right, it really works. Jazz up your new home with pop art pieces that make not only great conversation pieces but also backdrops for your Instagram posts.

2. Not into the kitsch? Why not opt for a more grandeur feel for your Airbnb-worthy style? Take cue here – using opulent textures and warm colours instantly add value and luxe to any space. Bonus points for a chandelier-like light feature.

3. House-at-the-Hamptons feel? Definitely worth doing to create that staycation mood at your home. Opt for an all-white interior to give it that breezy atmopshere. Furnish with vintage English Rose furniture for a colonial style that’s reminiscent of a seaside chalet.

4. Your home can really be your sanctuary of peace if you give it that resort-theme feel! Which is exactly what this homeowner did using naturel elements like bamboo and wooden textures complete with décor that you’ll find at high-end spas. Give it a homely feel with potted plants that add a fresh vibrancy.

6. Love the metropolitan vibe cities like New York City and Barcelona have to offer? Recreate this urban chic mode at your very own home! Think stark colours like black and grey for that cool element and standout art pieces for that gallery-like feel. Designer furniture completes the look of a well-curated home.

7. Most Airbnb-homes evoke a boutique hotel feel, which is really easy to recreate in your own space. Opt for funky furniture that stand out on their own – mix and match to create a juxtaposition of styles. Need storage space? Instead of concealing, why not make it an open-concept style that not only lets you show off your memorabilia but also stands out.
