GET YOUR AIRBNB BOOKED IN MINUTES THIS HALLOW'S EVE

It is that time of the year again where most of us just could not wait for Christmas! But before that, we still have Halloween to deal with. For those whose apartments are up on Airbnb, decorating your place according to the current season is a good strategy as well. And because we are just as festive as you are, we have a few tips for your easy décor transitions!

Go colorful.

Follow the color palette of the corresponding season or holiday to invoke that warm feeling. It will definitely add a wonderful surprise for your guests. For one, when it’s Halloween and fall season, try warm tone-colored throws and curtains in fiery oranges, neutral browns, and golden yellows.

Go fun.

Add more fun Halloween accessories to your place such as mini jack-o-lanterns and a few bat cut-outs. Want to level this up? Pull out a carving knife and go decorate your pumpkin! This is something easy to do and yet adds that drama you can't get from fake plastic ones.

Afraid you might mess that up? Simplest way to do it is by using markers! Go get drawing! You can even use the pumpkin for some cream of squash after! 

But if you’re not into the festivity and would rather be more subtle, a scented candle helps your guests get a feel of autumn. 

Give some candy!

Yes, it's almost Halloween and who can resist these? The wonderful thing is it won't even cost you an arm and a leg, and your guests will embrace that thoughtful gesture you made.  Place your colorful sweets in a white bowl so your colors can stand out. Impressing your guests is certainly one thing that should be foremost in your mind! 

Bonus.

People rent out your place when they have a vacation or perhaps for business, add a local souvenir from your town or city--something for them to remember. For an extra oomph during Halloween season, print a local horror story on paper you can leave near the bedside for your more adventurous clients. Warning! Not everyone likes Halloween so this may not go well with some guests. 

More Secrets!

Thinking about it, you can even go all out and change your photo ads for the Halloween season. Take photos of your added seasonal decor and see your place booked in minutes!! After all, I haven't seen any place in Airbnb decorated for the season... That might change when you guys post! Won't that be a really good come-on?!

Then after the fall and Halloween, we meet winter and Yuletide!

EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING

Now that you have a new home, invite some guests over and discover exciting ways to host brunch or even dinner parties!

Where do you usually hold your party? Aside from the dining area, you may want to prepare at your backyard or patio for something more casual. This encourages your guests to relax and enjoy each other's company. 

One of the things to consider when having people over is the lighting. Warm lights are recommended as they will make your guests feel welcome so that they can enjoy their stay in your abode even if it's only for a short time. Make sure that you let all that gorgeous  natural light in. It makes for better lighting and Instagrammable photos. You can use fairy lights too and place in bottles. These lights come with batteries that come in handy. I've seen options at True Value.

Do stay away from scented candles as the scent can detract and clash with the aroma of your food. Use regular candles to make your setting look even better!

Printed table napkins

Decoration-wise, keep it simple but classy. Use other party decor that can double up as your usual accessories at home, say, throws in bold colors with fun patterns, and perhaps some hand crocheted coasters too.

If you're feeling fancy and adventurous, deviate from the usual table linen by using printed paper napkins. Lots of choices over at H&M home or Landmark. And don't forget to add fresh flowers! There are plenty of cheap grocery store flowers to be had for a small price. Add them as your centerpiece and you can instantly make your table look better.

Use fresh herbs or fruit slices and add to your drinks. It looks more appetizing and certainly is a refreshing way to serve.

In case you have some plants at home or maybe even if you don't, try buying easy indoor plants such as succulents, as a fresh alternative to floral arrangements. A simple leaf on a bottle or vase works wonders. Layer them over a book for a professional touch!

This is but a glimpse on how you should be preparing for your brunch parties at your home.
