How to furnish your holiday home perfectly
Furnishing of holiday properties
Guests spend the best weeks of the year in your holiday home or holiday flat. That's why the furnishings are an important feel-good and letting factor. In recent years, holiday guests have become more demanding when it comes to the furnishings and fittings of holiday properties. My holiday property shows you what makes a good interior and how holidaymakers will feel at home in your holiday property.
The right furnishings for holiday guests
The furniture and furnishings in your holiday home and holiday flat need to do several things at once: Firstly, they should make your holiday home homely and impress guests with your holiday property at first glance. Tasteful, high-quality furnishings are also an important marketing aspect, as most holidaymakers make their decision based on photos - especially online. And the right furnishings will ensure that your guests feel comfortable and are happy to return. On the other hand, the furnishings must also be durable and easy to maintain. The frequent change of tenants means that wear and tear is significantly higher than in your own home.
Kitchen equipment for holiday homes and co.
A complete and beautifully put-together kitchen gives your holiday home furnishings a high-quality and lovingly designed look. For many holiday guests, a relaxed breakfast, cooking and eating together is a real holiday luxury. Offer your guests the opportunity to do this with extras such as a bread delivery service and a well-equipped kitchen.
Kitchen equipment checklist:
- Refrigerator, an energy-saving model protects the environment and your operating costs
- Standard cooker with ceramic hob or induction hob
- Microwave for those who also want to take a holiday from cooking
- Dishwasher
- Toaster, kettle and coffee machine
- Twice as much crockery as the maximum occupancy of your holiday apartment
- Water, wine and beer glasses and mugs
- Cutlery, bread and small kitchen knives, peeler
- Pans, pots, teapot
- Corkscrew and bottle opener
- Sugar, salt and pepper shakers
- Hoover and dustpan
Bedroom furnishings for holiday homes
A good night's sleep is a crucial factor for relaxation on holiday. Therefore, invest in a "real" bed in the bedroom of your holiday home or holiday flat. A sofa bed is only ideal as an additional sleeping option in the living room. Just like an additional folding bed or cot. Opaque, blackout curtains in front of the bedroom windows ensure undisturbed sleep on holiday.
Flooring in holiday homes and co.
You should pay particular attention to the durability and longevity of the flooring in your holiday home. Bear in mind that the flooring must be able to withstand a lot of heavy trolleys, dog claws, ski boots, sharp heels, sand from the beach, etc. It must also be able to be cleaned quickly and easily by your cleaning service. It must also be quick and easy for your cleaning service to keep clean.
- Real parquet is beautiful, but is expensive to buy and needs to be maintained properly and regularly.
- Laminate is easy to care for, but can show signs of wear quite quickly, e.g. if the patio door is not closed when it rains. It is also often cold underfoot.
- Modern vinyl flooring combines a pleasant barefoot feeling with a high-quality look and durability.
- Carpeting can be problematic because you can see every stain. It is usually not suitable for allergy sufferers or pets. Many holidaymakers also find carpet more unhygienic.
