Choosing the best furniture for your vacation rental is what’s going to ensure a top-notch guest experience and repeat reservations. The best furnishings are the ones consistent with your rental rates, so keep that in mind too when we talk about each room.
Living room
This area can be described as the heart of the home. Many people vacation to spend time with their family and the living room is the place to do that. So what makes good living room furniture? Here are some factors to consider for this part of the room:
Comfort. Will guests want to sit here for extended periods of time?
Capacity. Does your occupancy limit match the amount of seating offered?
Flow. Do the furniture and layout make sense for the purposes of the space?
Answering some of these questions as well as finding inviting, comfortable pieces that complement your home will ensure that you choose the best living room furniture for your vacation rental.
Bedroom
Have you ever stayed at an accommodation that had a beautiful bedding set and right when you lay down you feel like you were sleeping on bricks? Vacations are supposed to be restful. Your vacation rental bedroom needs to support this idea fully.
A comfortable mattress is essential, but good vacation rental furniture doesn’t end there. Having a bed frame and nightstands that make sense is equally important. Let’s say, for example, you mainly host workcationers. Having a small nightstand that’s designed for style and not function won’t be able to fit the needs of that particular guest: an alarm clock, a phone, or any reading material. The best bedroom furniture for your vacation rental strikes the balance of comfort and functionality.
Dining room
On a similar note to the living room, the dining area is intended to bring guests together. More specifically, this is a place for vacationers to spend time and meals together. While the living room focuses on comfort, the dining area should be practical and inviting. The perfect dining room set should be comfortable but also durable. Remember that you’ll be hosting a multitude of people and your dining room furniture needs to be up to the test of stains, spills, and scratches.
Kitchen & bathroom
Any standard bathroom or kitchen should already include the essentials (appliances, built-ins, etc.). Anything that you plan to add here, an island, vanity and stool, or a chaise, should be considered an extra. If your budget does allow for these add-ons, think of what would be best for your clients. If your clients are seeking a spa-like experience then furniture pieces that complement this would be perfect.
