When you want to maximize your rental income there’s nothing more important than creating a home that your guests love as much as you do. Of course it’s your abode first and foremost, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few things you can do on a budget to make it everyone else’s home away from home, too. To give you plenty of food for thought we’re going to take a look at half a dozen ideas that will get those creative juices flowing.
Use New Bedding to Breathe New Life Into Every Bedroom
Bedding is what really puts the finishing touches to a perfect night’s sleep, so make sure you spruce things up every now and again. You want something inclusive that connects with as many people as possible, so go for something homely and neutral. If in doubt, go for the highest quality fabrics, pillows, and duvets you can afford, plus a few seasonal options. That way you’ll be giving everyone the choice and freedom they’d have at home.
Get Cosy With Your Decor Choices so Everyone Feels at Home
Cozy decor is all about ornaments, pictures, and little trinkets dotted about the place. If you want to show your home in a new light, head to the local antiques store and shop for a few unique additions. You don’t have to buy the most expensive thing you can afford, but you do have to find something with character and its own story to tell. There are so many amazing things that you could do that we can’t list them all here, but you’ll know the right fit when you see it. Trust your instincts, be creative, and the rest will fall neatly into place.
A Pile of Old Books is a Great Way to Add That Lived-In Feel
Old books are a great vintage addition to any room in the house, and make for a great contribution to the lived-in look and feel that we all aspire to. When you want your guests to feel like your home is their new home away from home, think about how you can weave a little bit of culture into every room. You want their stay with you to be far more unique and charming than if they had booked a huge chain hotel down the road. Take the time to find books that are not only highly readable, but also look the part. Hardbacks with gold leaf and tatty corners will look just great when they’re sat at the centre of your new coffee table.
Taking on the Wallpapering is a Great Way to Transform Any Room
Wallpapering might be something that you’ve been told for years is beyond you, but it’s not all that tricky. Of course there’s a technique to it, but that’s what the world of online tutorials is for. In just a couple of minutes you can learn the tricks of the trade, and if you buy a little more paper than you need you’ll have a bit to practice with. The key thing to remember is that you can do it, but only when you stay calm and patient. Take your time with it and you’ll be able to transform any room your heart desires in a single afternoon.
Add Some Timber Cladding to Create a Homely Vibe
Nothing helps create a homely vibe your guests will never want to leave like some authentic timber cladding. If you want to create a homely, relaxing, and country style space that welcomes people to sit back and put their feet up from the moment they arrive, look no further. All you need to do is shop the range of colors and woods available, choose your favorite, and then sit back and admire your inspired choice as it all comes together.
Sand Down the Living Room Floor for a Rustic Spark of Inspiration
Pulling up the carpet and sanding the floor might sound drastic, but it only takes a day or so. The great thing is that you can completely change the largest surface in the room on a budget, and you can do just about anything you want with it. Whether you paint it, wax it, or shabby chic it, the choice is yours. Just make sure you give a little bit of thought to how it will look against the rest of the room and you’ll be sure to love the end result even more.
Now that we’ve told you all about how you can spruce up the place, all you need to do is decide which job you want to start with. We suggest starting with the smallest ones so you can feel like you’re making progress with next to no effort.
