Eggcellent Airbnb Staging: How to Refresh Your Rental for Spring Bookings 🐣

Spring is in the air—and your Airbnb should reflect that. As guests look for a fresh getaway after the winter months, now’s the perfect time to refresh your short-term rental and give it that seasonal lift. A few thoughtful updates can make your listing stand out, boost bookings, and even earn you better reviews. Here are some ways to stage your Airbnb for spring:

1. Lighten Up Your Colour Palette

Swap out heavy winter tones for softer, lighter hues. Think pale greens, buttery yellows, blush pinks, and sky blues. Simple touches like new cushion covers, throw blankets, or a spring-inspired rug can instantly brighten up a space.

2. Bring the Outdoors In

Fresh flowers or faux greenery can breathe life into your rooms. A small bunch of tulips on the dining table or a leafy plant in the hallway adds vibrancy and a sense of care. Bonus: they look great in listing photos!

3. Refresh Soft Furnishings

Spring is all about fresh starts and nothing feels fresher than crisp, clean bedding and towels. Opt for breathable, natural fabrics like cotton or linen and consider layering in a soft pastel throw or floral cushions to complete the look.

4. Update Your Entry

First impressions matter. Add a spring wreath to the front door, place a clean doormat with a seasonal greeting, or add a potted plant to welcome guests the moment they arrive.

5. Add Thoughtful Seasonal Touches

Consider including a spring welcome basket: local treats, herbal teas, or even Easter chocolates if you're hosting during the holiday. Small touches like this elevate the guest experience and encourage glowing reviews.

6. Re-Shoot Your Listing Photos

Once your spring staging is done, don’t forget to update your listing photos. New images showcasing your refreshed space can make your property feel more current, curated and enticing.

Final Thoughts

Guests aren’t just booking a place to stay, they’re booking an experience. By giving your short-term rental a spring refresh, you’re telling your guests: this space is well cared for and ready to welcome you. And that can be the deciding factor between your listing and the one next door.
