Little Spaces: DIY Design for your BnB on a Budget

Updated: Dec 4, 2023

Elevating your Airbnb on a budget doesn’t have to mean compromising on style. From repurposing furniture and creating bespoke artwork to crafting unique textiles and decorative accents, delve into creative endeavors that elevate the ambiance without breaking the bank. Let's get DIY'ing:


1. DIY Artwork: Create your own art pieces, like canvas paintings, framed prints, or abstract art, to add a personalized touch to the walls. Think you're not artsy? You're three swooshes and two splats away from a masterpiece in the making. Let's get painting!


2. Accent Walls or Wallpaper: Pick a wall and add a splash! The use of removable wallpaper or paint is a great way to create an accent wall, without a permanent commitment. Here are some fun ideas. Opt for subtle or else go big... develop the space's personality any way you like.


3. Repurpose Furniture: Give old furniture a new lease on life by repainting, reupholstering, or adding unique hardware to create stylish yet budget-friendly pieces.


4. Custom Headboards: Craft a custom headboard using reclaimed wood, fabric, or even repurposed doors for a unique focal point in the bedroom.


5. Fun Textiles: Add some jazz by selecting some fun cushions, pillow covers, or throws to your space. This is a great way to add character while retaining the flexibility to swap in and out pieces over time - just to keep it fresh!


6. Plant Wall or Vertical Garden: Create a "green" wall using hanging planters or repurposed shelves, adding a touch of nature to the space. Aiming for low maintenance? Pull in artificial greenery to simplify the upkeep.


7. Floating Shelves: Build and install floating shelves for an visually-impactful yet functional solution for getting your decor vertical.


8. Customized Amenities: Create custom amenities, like handmade soaps, candles, or welcome baskets, to add a personalized and luxurious touch for guests.


9. Repurpose Furniture: Give old furniture a new lease on life by repainting, reupholstering, or adding unique hardware to create stylish yet budget-friendly pieces.


Dive into the realm of DIY room staging, where thoughtful touches and attention to detail can transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences.
