From the moment a potential guest is scrolling, searching for the perfect “home away from home,” you want to capture their attention with a great image of your space. Capture a fun corner or painting to show your home has personality. Pro tip: A simple way to achieve this is with a patterned wallpaper. Keep in mind that for photography of spaces, it’s best to keep the clutter minimal. We recommend working with a professional photographer who can capture your space in all its essence.
Create An Area That Stands Apart
Highlight What You Love
Now that you’ve secured your renter, it’s time to impress. The reason why so many are interested in renting a home rather than a hotel is simple: personality. You want to enhance the vacationer’s experience as much as possible by adding personal touches to make the space feel less sterile—maybe it’s a personal record collection of local musicians or a vibrant, welcoming rug.

Your space must feel cool and unusual to the interested renter. After all, vacation is no time to be boring! Capture the qualities of your home that would make the renter stop scrolling and immediately picture themselves in your house. The idea here is to think outside the box—you want your home to feel well thought-out to make it immediately appealing to your potential guest.
