With a surge in staycations and domestic travel, holiday homes have become popular. Owning a holiday home is a dream for many people, and if you aim to rent your cosy space to earn an additional income, you must invest in the right décor for your home. The good news is you don’t need to have deep pockets but have the right consultant who can guide you every step of the way.

So, many elements can spruce your space, whether you are building from scratch or just revamping. To make this easy, here are some quick tips –

Add magic to your home with colour

Colour can add an instant touch of glamour to a space. Choose a bold and dramatic colour, or opt for lighter hues based on your taste. Shades of white are a great option if you want your room to look gorgeous, airy, and spacious. Avoid painting your walls black, making the space look gloomy and cramped. However, add some black accessories to the space to tie the overall design together. Whatever colour you choose, the goal should be to decorate the room based on the same colour palette.

Spruce up your home with an elegant window treatment

A window/balcony is an important element of a home. Ensure you use the right furnishings to decorate this place. There are several budget-friendly options available to add elegance to your window. If you’re opting for curtains, choose flowy, breezy materials like crepe, satin or soft cotton. Use light shades of pink, blue, green and cream to give it a cosy touch. If you choose shades or blinds, opt for sustainable materials that will ensure your home looks elegant and well-designed.

Brighten up your space with lights

Lights are an important component of home décor. Choose contemporary lighting over standard fixtures.  Well-designed pieces can make a chic statement for your home more than the standard ones. Look at flea markets to avail the best and unique lighting pieces on a budget. Additionally, ensure several different light sources, including table lamps and floor lamps, throughout the home to enhance the classy look.

Add a dash of green to let your home breathe fresh

Plants are good for the environment and can add a touch of allure to a home. Being one of the most cost-effective ways of decorating your home, plants in different colours is a great idea to add a layer of freshness to your home.

Choose comfy furnishing for a relaxed stay

Lastly, invest in good furnishings. After all, a holiday home that doesn’t offer comfort is nothing more than a traditional motel. Get a cosy and comfortable mattress, conforming to the body shape, so the less interrupted and more comfortable the sleep can be.

Interior design is an art, and if you think you can’t do this alone, get help from an expert to turn simple things into extraordinary ones. Just plan right and invest carefully to change the outlook of your home at a shoestring budget!
