Bed & Breakfast Decor

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.

Too many bed & breakfast owner's only focus on the inside. They forget that the guests will be seeing the outside of the location first. They need to immediately feel like this is going to be a very cozy place for them to enjoy. Consider the colors you want to have for the outside of the bed & breakfast very carefully. You need to schedule routine maintenance as well. If the paint is old and chipping you can be sure the guests are going to take notice of it.

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.

One easy and inexpensive way to light up the decor of the front of your bed & breakfast is to offer a flower garden. Choose those that are colorful and have a good chance of blooming to their fullest in your area. You can place vases of these fresh flowers in various locations indoors as well.

After you have gotten them to take notice of the outside of the bed & breakfast, they need to be ready to look at the inside of it. Offer some nice pieces of furniture and decorations on the walls and tables. You do want to offer plenty of open space too so limit what you place inside of it. Any pictures or designs on your wall need to be attractive for a variety of different people that will be coming to stay at your bed & breakfast.

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.

Think about the theme you want to offer throughout the bed & breakfast. Everything needs to be a good match with the other items around it. This takes a good eye for home decorating so if you aren't sure ask others to give you their input. You can even consider hiring a professional designer to help you get everything in place.

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.
