17 Professionally Designed Bedrooms Perfect for Airbnb

Listing up your guest room for short-term rental is becoming a popular source of passive income for Malaysian homeowners.

Platforms such as AirBnB, Wimdu, Stayz and even local players letsgoholiday.my and ibilik are a few examples of property renting sites that allow travellers to find a home-like accommodation for both short and long-term stay.

Because the competition for short-term rental rooms is fierce, you’ll need to spruce up your listed Airbnb room design to attract bookings and command a decent rate.

Guest rooms that are well-equipped will attract more interest. For example, an en-suite bathroom (or easy access to a shared bathroom), built-in wardrobe, kitchenette, reading desk and internet access will fetch a higher rate.

But if such amenities are not available, you can focus your attention on the decor. Create a theme, add artwork and interesting furniture pieces, and you will soon turn your vacant room into a cash cow.

Here are some Airbnb room design ideas from Malaysian interior designers. Apply them to your room to attract more bookings!
