5 Styling Tips Every Short Stay Host Should Know

Apr 16, 2025

In a competitive market, styling is the secret weapon for attracting bookings and great reviews. Here’s what we tell every Airbnb host: 

1. First Impressions Matter 
Focus on the entry or lounge — guests form an opinion within seconds. 

2. Stick to a Theme 
Whether it's coastal calm or modern minimal, cohesion is key. Our Styling Packs are built around design moods for this reason. 

3. Layer Texture 
Think cushions, throws, linen, natural finishes — all make the space feel elevated and warm. 

4. Light It Right 
Avoid cold overhead lights. Add lamps and soft lighting to create a cozy atmosphere. 

5. Less is More 
A few statement pieces do more than cluttered décor. Let the space breathe.
