Have you incorporated local culture into your decor?

Hello everyone! 😊

Incorporating local culture into your decor creates a unique atmosphere for your guests, and it's a great way to connect people to the community and history of the area.

I think adding locally crafted items, like pottery, textiles, or woodwork, brings authenticity while supporting artisans from your region. Locally inspired artwork or vintage photographs can also tell a story about the culture and natural beauty of the surroundings.

Have you thought about how to bring local culture into your decor?

Do you add locally crafted items to support local artisans from your region? What kind of items do you usually add?

I look forward to reading your choices! 

Warm regards 🌻,

Sweets and art are always good ideas to make guests feel at home. Why did you choose those items?

This subject got me thinking. 

Actually I'm hosting airbnb in Seoul. But not the tourist attraction area. 

It's just local. 

But I haven't thought about bring local culture into decor.

Still.  I have to thinking about that. 

Some areas are doesn't really have. 

But it will leads me to alternative idea!

Hi @규공0 😊, 

I’m glad this post is getting you to think about your decor and guest experience!

I understand it's not easy, but let's start with the basics... Does your area have a local culture to highlight?

Warm regards 🌻,

@Elisa Our Airbnb is in Regina, SK, Canada. I need to learn more about the culture there. Thanks

[Elisa]

Hi @Thanh-Trung0 😊, 

That's amazing! I am from Canada as well!

If I understand correctly, at the moment you don't have any cultural decorations in your property, right?

I am sure there is a lot of culture to discover in your area. If you would like to learn more, don't hesitate to ask in this community by starting a new conversation here. I am sure other hosts from Canada will help you.

Yes, several of the paintings on the walls are by local artists. We welcome our guests with local Santo Domingo coffee and offer them local Presidente beer.
