When it comes to decorating a vacation rental, thoughtful design does more than make a space look good — it creates a welcoming atmosphere that encourages bookings, earns positive reviews, and helps guests feel connected to the destination.
One of the most effective ways to enhance that connection is by adding a sense of place through your decor. That’s where YHM Designs’ home decor collection — featuring vintage baggage tag designs on throw pillows, throw blankets, and prints — comes in. These travel-inspired pieces celebrate local charm and spark guests' wanderlust, helping your property stand out in a competitive market.
Best Practices for Decorating a Vacation Rental
Before diving into specific decor ideas, it’s worth highlighting a few best practices that every property owner or designer should keep in mind:
- Embrace local style: Guests choose vacation rentals over hotels for a more personal, authentic experience. Reflect the character of your destination through colour, materials, and decorative accents.
- Prioritize comfort: Soft textures, layered fabrics, and inviting seating areas help guests feel at home the moment they arrive.
- Use thoughtful accents: Small, distinctive touches — like artwork, textiles, and meaningful decor — give your rental personality and make it memorable.
- Think Instagram-worthy: Stylish, photo-friendly spaces not only delight guests but also encourage them to share their experience online, generating organic marketing for your property.
- Design for reviews: A beautifully decorated space contributes to overall guest satisfaction — and glowing reviews often mention aesthetics.
How YHM Designs Home Decor Enhances Your Vacation Rental
YHM Designs’ throw pillows, throw blankets, and prints are the perfect additions for property owners and designers looking to bring these best practices to life.
Celebrate the Destination with Vintage Baggage Tag Designs
Each piece in the YHM Designs collection features an authentic, vintage-inspired baggage tag design with the airport code of your choice. Displaying the code of your property’s nearest airport adds an instant local connection and travel vibe — whether it’s LAX for a beachy Los Angeles retreat, JFK for a chic New York apartment, or YYZ for a stylish Toronto loft.
Create a Sense of Place That Welcomes Guests
When guests see subtle reminders of where they are, it deepens their connection to the location. A throw pillow on the sofa, a blanket at the foot of the bed, or a framed print on the wall featuring the local airport code instantly reinforces the spirit of the destination and enhances the experience.
Add Visual Interest and Layered Comfort
Our throw pillows and blankets are more than decorative — they’re soft, durable, and designed for comfort and easy care. They add texture, colour, and warmth to living areas, bedrooms, and outdoor spaces alike. Prints bring an eye-catching focal point to walls and can complement a wide range of interior styles, from modern and minimal to retro and eclectic.
Customize for Your Property
With nearly 600 airport codes available, YHM Designs offers incredible flexibility for customizing your decor to match your property’s exact location — or to highlight nearby destinations that guests may visit during their stay.
Because each piece is made to order, decorators and property owners can select designs that truly reflect the personality and story of the space.
Designed to Impress — and Earn Reviews
Guests remember the little details. A unique throw pillow or blanket that reflects the city they’re visiting often becomes a conversation piece — both during their stay and in their online reviews. These elements help your property stand out from generic rentals, encouraging word-of-mouth and repeat bookings.
