Have you bought products for your Airbnb that you regret buying?

Have you ever bought something you regret_.jpg
 
Hello everyone!
 
As hosts, I’m sure that you are always thinking, “What should I add to my listing? Does this look nice here? Am I making the right choices?” With all these questions in mind, new furniture is bought, a new sculpture is added by the TV… and this is where the problem can arise. You might end up regretting that new addition. Maybe it was too ugly, or it just doesn’t fit in the space. 🖼
 
Have you ever bought something for your home that you later regretted? If so, how did you fixed it? By sharing what didn’t work for you, we can help each other avoid similar pitfalls and make more informed purchasing decisions. 🧠
 
I’m so excited to hear from you all! Share your experiences, and let’s learn from each other!

Hi Alex. Yes, we have bought a few small things that weren't quite right for our Airstream BnB. We bought the wrong color duvet cover and a few decorative pillows that were either the wrong size or color. Super easy fixes. 

We had to do a lot to get it ready—some gutting, a lot of remodeling and decorating. But we took our time and put a lot of thought into it, so once we were ready to list it, we had to do very little to make it what we wanted.

Buongiorno @Alex 

 

I have to say that I have never bought something for my house in Venice and then regretted having bought it.

 

Maybe because my house is not dedicated 100% of the time to guests, when we can we go on vacation there too.

 

So all the furniture meets our tastes, and I think also those of the guests 😉
