How to Decorate Your Beach Rental Property By Don Jacobson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Once the decision has been made to offer your beach property for rent, there are some practical things to keep in mind. Decorating your beach property has to take on a generic approach to consider the diversity of people who will be spending time there. At the same time it has to take on an allure that will attract people. In addition, the price of the home will dictate the investment you make on the décor. Some suggestions I would make would be to:

1. Choose bright colors. Bright colors will allow the sun to shine through the house from the beach. Bright colors could also be selected to offset bold or dark accent colors.

2. Use sturdy furniture. Your furniture will receive a lot of wear and tear; therefore it’s important that it is durable enough to withstand frequent usage and ample people. A lot of people use cargo furniture, but you may also use a wooden rocking chair and sturdy fabric cover sofa or loveseat. Rattan is also used which is stronger than wicker. A couple of Adirondack chairs on the deck to watch the sunset will be required.

3. Refrain from personalizing your beach rental. You may want to omit your personal pictures and mementoes. I would also omit precious purchases or center pieces. People will feel as though there imposing if they see grandma’s picture every time they walk down the hallway. Unfortunately there are others who may admire your centerpiece enough to take it home.

4. Frequent yard sales and thrift stores. These are great places to find decorative pieces without the investment. Beach scene pictures, shells and other unusual items could serve you well. These are great places to find gently used counter appliances, window treatment, and dishes as well.

5. Make sure your beach rental is well equipped. No one likes to leave home only to realize that they have to spend money purchasing items like cork screws, or bottle openers. Your rental should have those creature comforts if you will. It would be great if you included a couple of bikes, board games, and dish towels/detergent.

6. Bring the outdoors in. Nothing refreshes a room like something from outside. This is where your shells and beach crafts accented with greenery, or dried stems of any sort will add attractive beauty to your rental home. Your furniture choice like the Adirondack chairs will also lend an outdoor ambiance.

You will be surprised at how far a little goes. Just coupling a few suggestions with your own ideas will create the vacation home or condo of a couple or family’s dream. You don’t have to spend a fortune furnishing your vacation rental to make it special.

Cleanliness, comfort, and allure will keep your rental booked throughout your rental seasons. Even in off season, your rental could be a strong contender against other selections with just the right practical combination of the comforts of home. You could take a few personal pictures and other items to personalize your vacation home when it’s your time to spend a couple weeks of relaxation there.
