Make Your Listing Peaceful
Organic, tranquil, and rejuvenating
...that’s the vibe interior designers Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters were going for in this newly completed rental listing.
The talented design duo coupled organic touches with modern finishes to create a lovely space guests will surely remember. So calm, but still so many interesting details.
Nice, right?
Here’s how you can create a similar feeling…
Make your main living space spectacular
This room is your money maker. It’s where your guests will spend a good del of their time. It’s your cover image on your listing’s profile. Getting this room right could be the difference between guest overlooking your listing or guest booking your space.
Select one wall color
Throughout your entire space. Go with a neutral, something bright to make your rooms feel spacious. White is always an option but other colors can count as neutral too.
Use wood tones
Wood adds a natural, warm feeling to any space. Whether you use wood in it’s organic state (like the decorative tree stump in the main living area of the space by Forbes and Masters) or you use it in a more finished piece (like the wall unit housing the television) wood adds an undeniable since of nature that is calming and familiar.
Add something older than you
There’s something grounding, maybe nostalgic about a handmade or vintage piece in a room. Choose a thrift shop find or something new to you but old in years, adds soul and character to any room. Find this necessary design-must in a piece of art, a piece of furniture or even a well-worn rug.
Add texture
Just because you’ve retained the color palette, doesn’t mean you won’t have an interesting space. Mix textures for a fantastic tactile experience. An assortment of pillows each in a different fabric, a chunky couch or bed throw, a leather or hide accessory all evoke that “I can’t wait to touch you” feeling.
Keep it simple, yet interesting
Make sure not to clutter your space with unnecessary pieces. Try to add as few pieces as you need to complete the room, however make sure each piece is as interesting as possible. Yes, it’s just a vase but it’s shape or texture make it fabulous!
Restrain your color palette
Limit the colors you use throughout the space to no more than three. This will allow the eye to move about the space in a smooth, calm fashion. Multiple colors are jarring for the eye. Save that excitement for times when you want to really amp up the volume in your space.
