Consider How Much of an Investment You Want to Make
You don’t have to be too elaborate with decorative stones for your Airbnb property. For example, if you have a second home or an annex on your main property where a smaller home is located, you may not want to invest too much in it for temporary visitors. What you can do with decorative stones is use them in planters and a few smaller spots here and there, such as in flower beds and areas near the entrance. You can always add more decorative stones later if you want to start off with only a few updates.
Have a Plan First
When decorating your Airbnb with decorative stones or beach pebbles, the first step is to make up a plan for what you want to do with your Airbnb property. You can do this conveniently with apps or programs that allow you to experiment with different stones, decorative rocks, and beach pebbles before you actually put anything into place. This also saves you time and gives you practice for what you might want to do with decorative stones when you get back home from a temporary stay.
Focus on Areas Where Guests Will Be Spending the Most Time
Another good place to start is where guests will likely spend the most time. This might be a patio area or a spot where there’s a seating area already set up. In this instance, you could place some decorative stones in planters or around flowers. Try to find color patterns and textures that match the exteriors well. Neutral colors work well, so consider using polished black river rock.
Add Some Living Elements to Your Decorative Stones
If you don’t have too much to work with in terms of plants at your Airbnb, consider heading to a local nursery once you arrive at your destination. This way, you’ll have a chance to add some local color and style to your decorative stones for your guests. Look for plants that are fairly colorful so you can contrast colors with your stones, decorative rocks, or beach pebbles to create a more visually pleasing look. If you use white pebble rock, landscaping can be even easier because the light hue of these decorative stones complement other colors very well.
Consider Some Practical Uses for Your Stones
Lastly, take a look at the overall layout and design of your Airbnb location. Determine if maybe you can add some decorative stones to a walkway that’s not fully finished or a sidewalk that has seen better days. Putting a little extra effort into walkways and similar locations also makes your Airbnb safer, especially if families with children will be staying there.
