If you’re an Airbnb first-timer looking to assume the brand’s coveted Super Host status, chances are you’re wondering how to create a bright and unique space for your Airbnb. While every suite is unique, there are a few mainstays that work in virtually every space. Here, we spotlight some of the easiest ways to give your Airbnb home-sweet-home appeal.

Work in Basic Whites
Basic white bedding is beloved for many reasons, but ranking high among them is the way it can be used to lighten and brighten a room. Similar to white walls, white textiles can also make a room look larger. Consider dressing your suite’s beds in classic white duvet covers and shams to make your room feel larger and breezier. White towels will function similarly in a bath.
Set Up a Seating Area
Even if your Airbnb is as petite as can be, a seating area is worth squeezing in if you can swing it. If you’re of the camp who’s thinking, doesn’t a bed function as seating? You wouldn’t be wrong, but a chair can also provide a place for guests to drape clothes, perch a handbag, or prop up a laptop for a pre-bed movie stream-athon. If you’ve opted for basic furniture elsewhere in you room, you might also consider a statement chair. Whether it’s a chair with a sculptural silhouette or one upholstered in an eye-catching print, a statement chair can be a great with to add personality in an otherwise-neutral space.
Create a Coffee Corner
Even if your guest suite doesn’t have a formal kitchenette, creating a mini makeshift kitchen or coffee bar can make a room feel infinitely more comfortable. To pull off a faux kitchen, consider installing a minimalist suite of cabinets and open shelving overtop. Alternatively, a repurposed kitchen island, credenza, or substantial console with shelves could work in a pinch. As for accessories, consider a kitchen crock to corral utensils and a tray to display mugs or drinking glasses. Kitchenwares in bright hues can help keep things feeling cheery and tend to hide wear and tear better than plain white ceramics.
