How to Optimize Your Airbnb
If you'd like to make your tiny house a go-to destination, interior designer and tiny house expert Kim Lewis has everything you need to know about hosting guests. "With a small space, go big on the finishes and design details—every inch will be noticed!" says Lewis.
Functional Storage: “Get creative! Furniture with drawers, perfectly appointed hooks—less is more, but the pieces you put in your tiny home should be quality.”
Commit to Theme: “Unique design will always draw in a rental guest. Consider branding your tiny home, so there's a story to create buzz.”
Bells and Whistles: Treat your guests with comforting 5-star compliments. Install the pool, dust off the fire pit, and order coffee beans from your neighborhood cafe. "I would also prioritize creature comforts like handmade soaps, Turkish towels, quality bed linens, and activities to do outside of the home.
