Choosing the right colours for your Airbnb can make a big difference! Colours can set the mood and make guests feel welcome. Do you go for bright and cheerful colours, or do you prefer soft and calming shades? Maybe you like to match your colours with the style of your home or the local area? 🏖🌲

 

We’d love to hear your thoughts! What colours have you found work best for your listing? Have you experimented with different schemes to see what appeals to guests? 🤔💭

"When I was deciding on wall colors for my Florida home, I wanted to create a by-the-sea vibe that felt cohesive and peaceful. I started with a base of soft, neutral tones like sandy beige and warm whites to reflect the beach.

From there, I brought in blues and greys inspired by the ocean and the sky. These colors add that tranquil, coastal feel I was going for while keeping everything light and airy. The soft greys remind me of driftwood, and the blues reflect the water, tying the whole space together beautifully.

I love how the colors flow seamlessly from room to room—it really gives the home a soothing, beachy charm!"

@Dawn1131 Sounds beautiful! 🌊

 

I love neutral colors for their calming effect. 

Hi @Dawn1131!

 

Your explanation sounds so relaxing! It sounds it really matches the surroundings. As I asked, earlier to other host, do you make any changes during the winter months? 👀

 

Warm regards, 

Alex

Bonjour!

nous avons choisi des couleurs douces et naturelles pour s’accorder avec les style traditionnel de notre maison provençale en pierres!

Hi

I am from Lahore, Pakistan.  Weather of Lahore is known for extreme weathers.  Especially, in summer it is extremely hot.  So soft colors particularly white and shades of white is my personal choice.  Also soft colors brighten up the room and give a tranquility to ambiance.

Wooden floor, for me, always complement soft colors on walls and of course wooden furniture.

Hi @Junaid30!

 

That's a great idea! I'm sure that during the warm months it will really help. Do you make any change during the winter? 🥶

 

Kind regards,

Alex

Hi!

 

For me, I prefer calming shades combined with bright colours combined particularly white as it makes the place more comfy, relaxing, and an atmosphere that helps positive thinking. I would strongly suggest to ask the help of someone who is already either an expert or a professional in the field of Architecture and Design since they know better. 

 

I am blessed to have my wife who is in this field and so I regularly consult with her on this, and since we also have a small family business in design and fit-out, we have a team that will implement such scope of work. At the end of the day its a win-win situation for the host and especially for the guest.

Hi @Alexander1993!👋

 

I really like the idea of the white colours. I feel it makes the house brighter and warmer.  Where did you get the inspiration from? 💡

 

Have a lovely day, 

Alex

Hello @Alex 🙂

 

I got the inspiration from my personal experience having travelled from a few countries and as we were doing fit-out projects. 

 

Have lovely day to you too!

 

 

Hi @Alexander1993!

 

That sounds interesting! You basically got inspiration from other properties that visited. 🌎

On the other hand, what countries have you visited? I love to travel too and I would like to know. 🙂

 

Kinds regards, 

Alex

Depends on the style of the home and the current paint on the outside. I personally don't like it when a home has a completely different personality from the outside.

Hi @Juan63

 

Hope you are having a nice day! In your case, what colors did you choose for your listing? 🎨

 

Looking forward to your answer 😄

We used Sherwin Williams Drift Mist.  By coincidence, It's the color of the month. We have a lot of color and the gray color serves as a base to make our fun colors stand out and not be chaotic.
