The keys to decorating tourist apartments have evolved beyond the classic advice (neutral tones, quality textiles, pleasant aromas, etc.). As interior designer in Seville and taking into account the high supply of tourist apartments in the area, It is crucial to offer something unique and memorable that stands out in a competitive market. Below, I present some innovative ideas to decorate tourist apartments and attract more guests.
1.SMART TECHNOLOGY
Integrating smart technology can significantly improve the guest experience. Technology not only provides comfort, but will also add a touch of modernity and novelty to your tourist apartment:
- Smart Lighting: Lighting system that guests can control with their smartphones to create the desired atmosphere.
- Autonomous Entry: This is a point that you cannot skip. Guests greatly value the freedom when leaving and entering the apartment. Install smart locks that you can control from your mobile as the owner.
- Virtual Assistants: Assistants such as Alexa or Google Home to facilitate your stay, provide local information and control devices in the apartment.
2. LOCAL AND CUSTOMIZED ART TO DECORATE TOURIST APARTMENTS
Collaborating with local artists to decorate the apartment with unique works not only supports one of the world's most important sectors of interior design, but also offers an authentic experience.
- Handcrafted furniture: In our studio we have several artisans who make our designs come true, whether they are carpenters, blacksmiths, glaziers, etc. Wrought iron, unique carpentry, hand-painted ceramics, etc. This will give the decoration of your tourist apartment an authentic and original aesthetic that reflects the culture of the location. An example of this is this Arabic style wrought iron lamp.
- Artwork Rotation: Change the art pieces from time to time to keep the decor fresh and offer new experiences to guests who usually stay in that apartment every time they visit the city.
3. NATURAL GREEN SPACES
Sometimes it is difficult to find spaces for vegetation when decorating tourist apartments because we do not always have the dimensions we would like. In any case, at Antonio Calzado Estudio we always recommend dedicating a corner (no matter how small) for plants and vegetation in general.
- Vertical gardens: Install vertical gardens on walls to add a touch of nature and freshness. You can make this type of garden in any size, so space is not a problem.
- Aromatic Plants: Place aromatic plants such as lavender, rosemary and mint that not only decorate, but also provide pleasant fragrances. In the case of Seville, guests like to smell orange blossoms, flowers, etc. It reminds them of spring and the good weather that characterizes the city.
- Always Natural Plants: Always prioritize natural, or failing that, preserved plants. If you don't want to allocate a wall or ceiling, you can put a subtle touch like this in Villa Lavanda.
4. MULTIFUNCTIONAL FURNITURE
This point is one of the most important when decorating a tourist apartment. Optimizing space is essential and this type of furniture will help your property adapt perfectly to different plans and different types of travelers.
- High Quality Sofa Beds: Perfect for small apartments, offering a comfortable sleeping solution without sacrificing style. A sofa bed will allow you to increase the capacity of people accommodated to 2 more.
- Folding Tables and Modular Furniture: They can adapt to different needs and configurations, maximizing the use of available space.
5. CONNECTIVITY AND WORKPLACE WHEN DECORATING TOURIST APARTMENTS
After the global COVID-19 pandemic, teleworking in Spain has increased considerably. This new trend that is here to stay also affects the choice of apartments since although many schedule trips and getaways, they can work from their accommodation. There are those who even make trips around the peninsula to work more comfortably.
- Ergonometric Workspaces: Make sure you have a well-equipped work area with ergonomic chairs and appropriate desks. We are not talking about setting up an office as such in the holiday apartment, but reserving an area with good lighting and a pleasant space to telework, talk on the phone and get inspired.
- Fast and Reliable Internet Connection: Connectivity is crucial for business travelers but also for younger people. Make sure the WIFI network is accessible and provide guests with the access password. Also check that the television is connected to the network so that they can enjoy digital platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, etc.
With this series of tips, your tourist apartment will not go unnoticed and will rise in position. Some are more aesthetic and others more functional, but together they work perfectly so that your reviews on booking platforms are the best in the area.
