Furniture choice: practical and robust

Choosing the right furniture lays the foundation for a successful interior. Holiday homes often have to serve changing guests, so certain features are essential:

  • Robustness and ease of care:Choose materials that are easy to clean and durable. Fabrics with stain protection or wood laminate surfaces are ideal.
  • Multifunctional furniture:Sofa beds, folding tables or beds with integrated storage space save space and increase flexibility.
  • Stylish comfort:Comfortable seating and high-quality mattresses ensure that guests can relax without sacrificing elegance.

Finding a consistent style

A well thought-out design makes a big difference in the effect of a holiday home. Here's how to do it:

  • Location and target group:For a house by the sea, a maritime style with light colors and wooden details is suitable, while a mountain cabin benefits from rustic elements.
  • Consistency:A uniform color palette and coordinated materials create harmony. Avoid too many contrasting styles to avoid making the room appear chaotic.
  • Simple elegance:Timeless and neutral colors such as beige, gray or pastel tones are inviting and suit different tastes.
