Adding seasonal decor to your vacation rentals can boost bookings and make your properties stand out from the competition. 

‍

To create an inclusive, welcoming vibe, consider decorating for the season rather than focusing on specific holidays, which keeps your space adaptable and appealing to all guests. If you do choose holiday-specific decor, reaching out to guests about their preferences in advance is always a thoughtful touch. 

‍

Whether you go seasonal or holiday-specific, these Airbnb decorating tips will help you create a festive atmosphere perfect for family gatherings, romantic escapes, and everything in between.

Incorporate winter greenery‍

Bring the outdoors inside with wreaths, garlands, or centerpieces made from fresh or faux greenery. These additions make your space feel festive without going overboard, and they work well for various celebrations throughout the season. Airbnb holiday decor like this adds a versatile, natural element that works across the winter months.‍

Seasonal wall art that pops‍

Refresh your wall decor to match the time of year! Choose art in seasonal colors or patterns, or add pieces that reflect holiday themes to create a distinct, festive look for your space.

Create a cozy glow with festive lighting‍

Lighting transforms any space! Consider adding twinkle lights, LED candles, or other soft lighting to give your rental a warm, inviting atmosphere that guests will love. Holiday interior design is all about setting the right mood, and lighting is key to making your rental feel cozy and welcoming.

Add plush textiles for warmth and comfort‍

Guests love a cozy space in the winter. Add plush throws, fluffy pillows, and even a weighted blanket for extra comfort. Textures like faux fur or chunky knit blankets add both warmth and a picture-perfect look ideal for seasonal photos.‍
