Which style do you prefer: minimalist or maximalist decor?

[Paula]

Hello everyone 😊

As I was admiring the beautiful listings you all host, it made me think about how important it is to bring a bit of the host’s personality into the decor. It adds that unique touch and could even offer a competitive edge.

With that in mind, I’d love to hear about the type of decor you use. Where do you find your inspiration? Do you lean more toward minimalist or maximalist styles? 👩‍🎨

It would be amazing if you could share a picture of a room that showcases the decor you’ve chosen for your listing in the comments of this thread.

Best regards,

Hello @Paula ! ✋😊

I agree that some of the listings are truly outstanding! Hosts put so much efforts to create and improve the interior, amenities and decorations.

Comparing to them my flat looks pretty humble, so I only can admit that I would prefer minimalist functionality rather than having numerous decorations in the property.

Earlier I had an empty wall in the bedroom, so I put a couple of photos on them: first - of the famous Albert Einstein and second - of not-less-famous Elon Musk. 😊 They looked so great together! However, later I decided to put something more neutral on that wall, so now there's just a simple painting with flowers and vegetables there. Looks minimalist - better than just an empty wall.

Olá Paula!

Acredito que com um estilo minimalista 

fica mais difícil você errar na decoração e no conforto.

Muitos apartamentos super decorados podem aparentar "aconchegante"

mas depois corre-se  risco de se tornarem um pouco cansativos.

Buscar um "tema" sempre ajuda na inspiração,

por exemplo -náutico, praiano,  casa de campo ou de montanha,

enfim, uma escolha simples te ajuda na busca de objetos, cores,

ou ambientação.

Fico feliz por terem me escolhido, 

Espero ter sido contribuiçao!!!

Um abraço!

Hello Paula!

I believe that with a minimalist style 

It becomes more difficult to make mistakes in decoration and comfort.

Many over-decorated apartments can appear "cozy"

but then there is a risk of them becoming a little tiring.

Searching for a "theme" always helps with inspiration,

for example - nautical, beach, country house or mountain,

finally, a simple choice helps you in the search for objects, colors,

or setting.

I'm glad you chose me, 

I hope I was a contribution!!!

A hug!

We don’t decorate much. Beyond the necessities and the numerous windows, we focus on function and convenience for our typical multifamily guest stays. Our lakehouse sleeps 18 and our guests come to enjoy the many activities both within and nearby our property.

If the place I'm going to is a historical or authentic place, I would like to stay in a place with elements suitable for that region. But where I go for work with constant circulation, on the contrary, I prefer minimalists and simple places that will make my job easier.

Hello Paula,

My preference is for minimalist and neutral decor. Overcrowding may take away the focus and also could contribute to h&s issues.

Minimalist:  Gives the guest a feeling of clean, more room, and organization. 

A theme provides character & style. Also I only have leather or vinyl  sofas and chairs so that it’s easy to clean rather than having fabric upholstery that can stain or trap odors. 

Colors on beddings, pictures & curtains also give rooms there own personality and tells the guest that you put effort into the decor giving them a sense of appreciation and thankfulness. 

many guest enjoy a different decor and hospitality that can come with the decor. 
for example I have a dancing pole in the living area many guest find it exciting. A mini bar to give the living area a feeling of Las Vegas and relaxation and a area where they may take photos with friends or family for memories.

Looks like I will be delisting my property as of this weekend.  This should be my last interaction.  I'll feel that a minimalist perspective with natural light is most soothing.  Keep up the good work on creating bonds that lasts.
