Curating your space

Attract guests by ensuring your home is warm and inviting, with memorable details.  Guests want to feel comfortable in a home-like environment, that has a consistent aesthetic, thoughtfully arranged furniture and personality. This can be achieved on any budget. 

Choose a style, theme, or colour palette that compliments the space and ties each room together. Give thought to the details and make sure they work together. 

Pick furniture and decor items that complement each other and add personality to the space. Create a colour palette or aesthetic for each room. Include feature pieces. Artwork hanging on the walls is a great way to capture guests' attention. Whilst you’re developing your style and selecting furniture, consider the location and size of your property, and think about the type of guests that will be staying. Are you targeting business travellers or will your property be more attractive to a family.

Stand out from the competition. Choose items that tell a story and inspire your guests. Unique pieces instantly add character and visual appeal.  Personality is important. Express your home’s style, whilst at the same time adding comfort for guests. Contrasting colours, patterns and textures can make a space really special.

Choose the right amount of furniture to fit your space. Rooms shouldn't feel too bare or cramped. Reduce clutter and leave only functional items or those that add interesting detail.  Make sure to leave room for your guests’ belongings so they can feel comfortable in your home. Use mirrors and light tones to give a sense of openness and space.  Think about the function and layout of each room and choose furniture that makes sense for the space. Stage areas within your home for function; ensure you choose furniture which suits the size of each space. For example, you should consider a smaller sized bed for a small bedroom giving guests enough room to move about, and ensure walkways are clear and cupboard doors are easily accessible and can open freely. Common areas should accommodate the maximum number of guests you intend to host, i.e. the number of dining chairs needs to at least equal the maximum number of people your property can sleep.

Bring ambience into your space by using light from a combination of sources, like lamps and ceiling fixtures.

Opt for durable, well-made furniture that will both last and improve the aesthetics of your home. Selecting the right kind of furniture that can stand up to regular wear and tear is important. High-quality pieces will not only last longer but will also differentiate your property. Choose natural materials that will last and be easy to clean. Avoid materials prone to stains.

Curate a style with a lasting appeal that won’t date.
