Host guide
Wall art for Airbnb & vacation rentals
In a short-term rental, the walls work for you. The right piece improves your listing photos, signals care, and makes guests feel they've booked somewhere with personality — not just another flat. This guide helps you choose art that lifts your reviews without adding hassle.
Why art matters in a rental
The booking decision happens while scrolling photos on a phone. A wall with a beautiful piece stands out in the results grid and raises the perceived quality of the whole space:
- Better listing photos. An image with a clear focal point adds depth and soul to your living room and bedroom shots.
- A sense of care. Original art tells guests the host made an effort — which translates into trust and reviews.
- Brand identity. If you run several units, a consistent look (say, Mediterranean sea) turns them into a recognisable signature.
Which images work best
In a rental, go for the universal and serene: seascapes, sand and light that almost any guest will like, without overly personal themes. If the property is coastal, a piece that echoes the destination (sea, coves, Mediterranean light) reinforces the experience. Avoid anything jarring — the goal is for guests to relax, not for the wall to shout.
| Type of rental | Collection that fits |
|---|---|
| Coastal or beach apartment | Sea and reflections — Aqua and Arenales |
| Urban, modern flat | Black and white with character — Headlines |
| Premium or boutique stay | Glamorous, high-contrast pieces — Porto |
What size and where to hang it
Go for one medium-large piece at the spots that appear in photos: headboard, sofa and entryway. Above a bed or sofa, a single 60 × 90 or 70 × 105 cm work beats several small ones and is easier to maintain. See the detail in our guide on what size print to choose for your wall.
Materials that survive turnover
In a high-rotation flat, prioritise durability and low maintenance:
- Premium canvas — no glass to scratch or break, light and full of presence. The most practical option for rentals.
- Cotton paper framed under glass — more elegant; save it for premium stays where cleaning care is guaranteed.
We compare finishes in cotton paper, canvas or pearl.
Guests don't remember the brand of the sofa, but they do remember that sea photo they faced at breakfast.
Three safe pieces for rentals
- Castaway — Mediterranean, luminous and welcoming; works in a living room or bedroom.
- Cobalt — deep blue with character, perfect for an entryway that pops in photos.
- Reverie — calm, soft light above the bed, so the room invites rest.
For multiple units: consistency and cost
If you manage several properties, pick two or three works from the same collection and repeat them in different sizes. You gain brand consistency and simplify buying. Every work is printed to order from €65 and shipped worldwide with tracking, so you can furnish remotely.
