How to Decorate Vacation Rental with Plants

Indoor plants are a great way to bring Mother Nature inside vacation rental properties or Airbnbs. Plants prove refreshing and make the place aesthetically pleasing to take your property decoration to the next level. 

But many property owners are unaware of how to display plants for a perfect guest experience that keeps them engaged and makes them feel at home.

If you are also one of those looking for ways to decorate the vacation rental property with indoor plants uniquely, these practical tips are for you. Believe it; your guests will appreciate and mark your spot as their favorite. So, let's check out!

Buy Plants that are Hard to Kill 

The first step of property decoration with greenery revolves around your choice of plants - so be careful.

You cannot deny that rental properties are less supervised than homes, and growing delicate plants will not be wise. Therefore, you need hardy plants that are hard to kill but thrive. It will keep your place green with little maintenance. 

So, do not select plants randomly. Consider your locality, climatic conditions like humidity, heat, and dryness, and then make a list of hardy plants. 

Here are some hardy indoor plants that grow well and give your place an entirely new look: 

  • Succulents

  • ZZ Plant

  • Split Leaf Philodendron

  • Snake Plant

  • Jade Plant

  • Rubber Plant

Another pro tip is to grow these plants in the soil as water needs to be changed more frequently, and if you miss it, your guests will get annoyed with plants growing in moldy water. 

Display Plants on Different Levels 

There is no rule of thumb to display plants in rooms, and the plan is open to you, but some places make them eye-catching and capture everyone's attention. Make the best use of every corner!

There must be windows, tables, and shelves – showcase mini or medium-sized pots over there. Windowsill next to the couch is the best site to decorate with some cool-looking plants. 

You can also replace conventional showpieces with geometric plant pots as table centerpieces. Plus, do not forget to grow plants on the work table, as travelers remotely working from your place will find it the best part of your property.

Additionally, shelves and benches can accommodate a variety of plants. 

Hanging Planters – Space-Friendly Option  

If your limited space does not allow the placement of large pots or plants, don't get upset – the sky is the limit. Hanging planters can counter your problem, and you can grow plants in the hanging baskets. Green plants hanging from the ceiling look striking and make it easier for you to add greenery to a room or apartment. 

Another huge plus point of these planters is you can do a quick makeover to your Airbnb by just replacing these planters. 

Here you get two choices with hanging baskets – first, grow various plants, and second, use diverse materials for the planters. English ivy, Devils' ivy, String of beads, String of Hearts, and Lipstick plants are some plants that look fabulous cascading from the basket. Similarly, you can use wood, plastic, coco fiber, and metal planters to bring individuality. 

Make Rooms Stunning with Large Plants 

Tall indoor trees make a statement in large rooms, and they find the best place in the living room or the bedroom corner. The rubber plant is one of the best tall indoor plants that are easy to care for and can grow up to several feet.

Here you must consider the placement of large pots and position them on the ground. This is because guest kids exploring your plant collection can accidentally hit and break the pot.

Make the Walls Green with Vertical Gardens 

Vertical gardens are exciting and get everyone's attention with their unique look. This is a simple approach to growing plants vertically with no need for space on the ground. You can thoroughly make a green wall with a single plant or grow multiple plants in sections. Using pots in a vertical garden is also possible and makes it more accessible for managers. Money plant, Pothos, Sword fern, Dragon plant, and heartleaf philodendron are some indoor plants that make a great living green wall in rental homes and apartments. 

So, get the benefit of these tips to decorate vacation rental properties and amaze the world!
