Consider a memory foam mattress that will adapt to your guests body shape and relieve pressure points. Use a mattress cover that will shield the mattress from accidental damage. Complement that with a durable bedframe that will give stable support to the mattress and prolong its life by preventing sagging and dipping.
Add a few accent pillows to break the monotony and bring some color to the interior. Soft throw blankets will give the bedroom a soft, gentle texture. Prioritizing neutral tones with pops of color creates a welcoming environment for guests.
Black-out curtains are a good addition for guests who sleep late.
PRO-TIP: Install layered lighting in your bedroom to create the ideal ambiance for late-night reading.

Home Lighting Types
Furnish your space with the right lighting.
Using multiple sources of light in your short-term rental can help you illuminate the space in a way that will accentuate the aesthetic of your home for your guests.
Having only overhead lighting is not enough especially . This type of home lighting lacks ambiance and dimension, making your living space look plain and basic.
That is why you should incorporate lighting layering into your vacation rental property. This will create an ideal setting for any task or activity, like reading or writing.
Ambient lighting
Ambient lighting provides general illumination to brighten objects and surfaces below and make the whole room appear bigger.
Chandeliers, pendants, or recessed cans are common ways to achieve ambient lighting. Safety measures should be taken to secure lighting in Airbnb properties to prevent accidents.
The Faiz Transparent Glass Pendant Light, with a ceiling canopy and four-foot hanging chain, is a great accessory for your minimalist-inspired vacation rental. Its mixed materials are right in line with the times. A turned natural wood finial crowns the alluring half-dome glass shade.
Task lighting
Task lighting is another layer that will improve the ambiance of the entire property. It is used to provide targeted lighting.
It clears away the shadows in areas where you're doing more detailed work, like the kitchen.
Sconces, under-cabinet lighting, and lamps are popular options for achieving optimal lighting in areas where it's necessary.
At Neill's Homestore, you can find wall sconces like Dumi that take a shine to a more glamorous way of life with this exquisite wall sconce. Watch its mirrored surface and luminous gold tone metal truly come to life through the beauty of candlelight that your guests will enjoy.

It can be achieved through special techniques, track lighting, and picture lights.
