First impressions last and this is exactly what makes a guest willing to book your property time and time again. Unique guest experiences makes a difference to the story your guests will ultimately walk away with. You want to be remembered as their best experience, where unique and little details take the overall experience to the next level. You want to give your guests something to talk about with their friends and family. This generates word of mouth which is the most effective way to attract new guests to your AirBnb property.
At Lykke Living we are passionate about creating unique guest experiences through thoughtful design and we bring this passion to each property owner we work with. Here are our top 4 considerations when creating your unique guest experience:
Consider your guests
Consider your guests first before deciding on a design. Design is so much more than just choosing colours and patterns. It is about creating a feeling and triggering emotions. Ask yourself, how do you want your property to feel for your guests? Bright and happy or modern and edgy or homely and calm?
For example; personalised welcome packs or letters, robes, a bottle of wine, a Netflix account all go a long way in adding to an experience. This gives your guest a reason to share the little details with their community and online following.
Consider movement when creating unique guest experiences
Consider how your guest will move in the property and try to create balance. Ask yourself, where will be a need for sofas, tables and chairs both from a practical and aesthetically pleasing point of view?
Additionally outdoor spaces are just as important as indoor spaces especially in Cape Town where outdoor living is part of the lifestyle. Your outdoor space needs careful thought as you want to create a seamless and unified experience as guests move throughout your AirBnb property.
Consider small details
The devil is in the detail and this especially rings true when it comes to AirBnb interior design. Something as small at power outlets at convenient points can have an enormous impact on the overall experience. Having enough outlets for charging devices throughout the property is more important than ever especially for remote working travellers.
Consider personal recommendations and guides
Guests, particularly those who are holiday makers, want to explore the city they are visiting. While a Google search is great to conveniently search for local experiences, nothing beats personal recommendations to great restaurants, wineries, or adventure and lifestyle activities. You can see these recommendations as an extension of your ability to host your guests well. This may also leave your guests feeling as though you are truly invested in their entire experience while staying with you, generating a sense of loyalty and advocacy for your AirBnb.
These considerations are simple to understand but they can be challenging to implement tastefully. Lykke Living offers AirBnb interior design packages to help property owners with various needs transform their investment into a luxury experience. Book a free consultation with us.
