When managing an Airbnb accommodation, every detail counts. From the comfort of the mattress to the decoration of the living room, your choices affect the guest experience. Yet, one element that is often overlooked is the closets. Closets are an important feature that can influence the comfort, convenience, and overall experience of guests. A well-organized and tasteful closet can make guests feel at home and add a touch of luxury to their stay.
Why are closets important in Airbnbs?
Airbnb guests, especially those staying for longer periods, appreciate having a space where they can unpack and organize their belongings. Additionally, a well-designed closet can make your accommodation look more attractive in photos and attract more guests. Guests often look for accommodations that offer amenities and functionality, and a good closet is an important part of that.
Choice of material: Wood or melamine?
Choice of material: Wood or melamine?The two most popular choices for closets are wood and melamine. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages:
Melamine is resistant to moisture, does not deform easily, has many options in colors and textures, and is more economical than wood. However, if damaged, melamine cannot be repaired and will need to be replaced with a new piece of wood. Also, it is sensitive to water and moisture and can absorb water more easily than solid wood.
Wood is classic, durable, and timeless. In case of damage or scratches, it can be repaired and last for many more years. Besides being more expensive than melamine, it is also prone to climatic changes – like all natural materials – and thus, cracks or warping of the wood may occur.
Depending on the style and budget you have, you can choose either an economical solution with melamine or invest in a wooden closet for a sense of luxury.
Closet design for Airbnb
When designing the closets for your accommodation, there are some basic things to consider.
Size: The size of the closet will depend on the size of your accommodation and the number of guests it can accommodate. If you have a small accommodation, you may need to be more creative with storage solutions.
Functionality: It should be functional and offer enough space for guests to hang their clothes, store their suitcases, and organize their personal belongings.
Style: The closet should match the style of your accommodation. If you have a modern accommodation, you may want to choose a closet with clean lines and a minimalist design. If you have a more traditional accommodation, you may want to choose a closet with more elaborate designs.
Equipment and accessories for practicality
A well-organized closet can make a difference in the guest experience. Here are some tips for organizing your closet:
Provide enough hangers: Guests need a place to hang their clothes. Provide enough hangers to accommodate their clothes.
Add shelves: Shelves are ideal for storing folded clothes, shoes, and other items.
Use drawers: Drawers are ideal for storing smaller items, such as underwear, socks, and accessories.
Provide space for suitcases: Provide a space so that guests can store their suitcases and have easy access to them.
Add extra amenities: You can add extra amenities to the closet, such as an ironing board, iron, hair dryer, or safe.
Closet or open storage space?
Closet or open storage space?If your accommodation is small or does not have a built-in closet, you can choose an open storage space with shelves and hangers. To make it look more neat, place decorative boxes and baskets for small items, use discreet curtains to separate the space when needed, and add wallpaper on the back for a more modern look.
The details make the difference
Do not forget that small touches can upgrade the overall guest experience:
