Every time that you rent an Air BnB property when you travel you come home ready to purchase new furniture, redo the kitchen cabinets, or, at the very least, declutter the house. In fact, you have had such great luck with these rental properties that you rarely book reservations at hotels any more. Especially if you are going to be staying for three or more nights, renting from local property owners is a major advantage. The fees that you have to pay seem fairly insignificant when they are divided across three nights and the fact that you have a kitchen and laundry room are money saving advantages.
Money saving that is until you stay in a place that is so nice it sends you home ready to ditch your tile flooring for easy to maintain laminate floors that look like real wood or go shopping for all new furniture for the for the family room!
Classic New Furniture Can Make Any Place Seem Like Home
From the latest living room furniture selections to the most easy to maintain hardwood flooring, when a space has been updated it just feels more welcoming. You can talk about the comfortableness of an old sofa in the media room, but if you really want to feel cozy and at home in a new space, update its furnishings.
In addition to making a space look and feel more comfortable, many of the updates that you invest in will actually add value to your property. In fact, recent data from the National Association of REALTORS indicated that 54% of home buyers are willing to pay more for a home with hardwood flooring. This means that if you pull up the old worn flooring at your home that is difficult to maintain, you can install a low maintenance flooring that will help you enjoy your current home, but also add value to it when it comes time to sell.
Unfortunately, a recent survey by HomeGoods indicated that 9% of Americans have not updated their home decor in more than 10 years. Another 47% have not done an update in the last five years. Making the decision to update a space or change the furniture in a room, however, can help create positive energy in even the most tired spaces!
