People love exploring places, learning cultures and prefer home stays. If you count yourself one among the homeowners to make little extra income from travellers as short term hosts, here are some tips by architect Onal Kothari.

  1. Seasonal decorating: Changing season calls for specific changes. Add the necessities as per your seasonal requirements. For example, heaters for winter, blossom decors for summers.
  2. Bedding: Comfortable and clean bed space is a requirement that every traveller looks for. Add some inviting elements and lights. Do not overdo things in the bedroom to give it a hotel look and feel. This is vital because travellers pick home stays to have a peace of mind and enjoy the cultural essence.
  3. Pillows: From seating areas to bedroom to rest zones, pillows add layers to your home. Depending on the architectural feature of your home, you can have graphical prints, natural or textured works pillow.
  4. Artworks: Show off your home personality with some wall arts, hanging art works, photographs or even some informative maps about your city. There are options you can choose from apart from some abstract artworks, traditional kathputli and so on.
  5. Bathroom: Another most important home area to look after is bathroom. Use decors like towels, decorative candles, you can add a bathrobe as well. Remember little details make a big difference.
  6. Go green: Plants are like accessories to every home. They complete your areas, purify your house and make any place look more inviting. You can have independent garden space, hang them, add vertical walls or to begin with, you can have a small all season planter.
