Why The Decor Of Your Bed & Breakfast Is Important

By: Patti Rob

You want your bed & breakfast to be a prosperous business for you. This is going to take some effort on your part to offer guests everything they are looking for. Many of them will decide to stay with you or not based on the look of your bed & breakfast. You have to be ready to give them a good impression so they will make that reservation.

You want your bed & breakfast to appear to be warm and inviting. If people aren't happy with what they initially see, it can discourage them from making the reservation. The outside of your bed & breakfast is the first thing they are going to see. Choose warm colors that compliment each other. If the paint is worn or it is peeling you need to take the time to have it redone.

Take some time to focus on your porch area and the yard as well. Place some chairs and even a few small tables if you have the room on the porch. This way people can enjoy the outdoors on a nice evening. If you have grass it needs to be cut often and very green. If this isn't possible due to drought conditions or other factors, consider landscaping with colorful rocks. A beautiful fountain is attractive as well and they don't cost very much to install.

Try to offer some focal points in the front yard of your bed & breakfast. Your options will depend on how much room you have. You may decide to install a fountain or a small pond. If you have a green thumb you can grow beautiful flowers as well. Find out which types grow best in your area. Fresh cut flowers in a vase on the kitchen table in the morning will be very appealing to your guests.

Too many bed & breakfast owners make the mistake of over decorating the inside of the business. If you have too many items on display it is hard to focus on them all. It can easily make the guests feel overwhelmed. At the same time it can make the place look smaller than it really is. Take your time to offer rooms with walls that are painted inviting colors. Look for pictures that are very appealing such as those of the ocean, waterfalls, lighthouses, and others that people tend to relate with relaxing and calm.

You may be surprised at home much influence a set of curtains can have for any room in your bed & breakfast. Try out various types until you find the right look that will soften up the room and make it look very inviting. If they are sheer, offer a blind or a pull down shade for privacy as well.

Decorating your bed & breakfast doesn't have to be expensive. Be creative with your ideas and offer some subtle displays that are attractive but not over done. You also don't want to have too many breakables out or your guests will be worried about damaging something instead of being able to completely relax.

While you have the freedom to decorate your bed & breakfast any way you want, it is important to remember that it needs to reflect the needs of your customers. This is very different than when you are decorating your own home because that is specifically for your own comfort.
