Mountain style is reinvented
If you are used to seeing holiday homes located in the mountains, you have undoubtedly noticed that they are (almost) all decorated according to a mountain style.
At the time, this decoration was popular because vacationers really wanted to live in this type of environment for their stay in the mountains. But today mountain decoration is completely reinvented. To find inspiration, discover some of the best vacation rental chalets in the alps.
It is no longer a question of kitsch decoration as was the case before. Now to create the perfect chalet, you must focus on a cocooning and cozy style but by taking the modern style codes. Your chalet must be authentic and contain only the essentials. Forget everything that is superfluous to make your customers feel as good as possible.
Natural materials remain essential
Everyone associates the mountain chalet with wood. This natural and durable material is mandatory in the interior decoration of a chalet used for vacation rentals. Wood recalls nature and brings a warm side.
For a successful decoration, you must furnish your chalet with furniture made from solid wood, a material that has a number of advantages. Your furniture will resist time, wear and the passage of vacationers. If you want to bring a little modernity to your chalet, you can combine wood with metal but only in small touches. The wood must remain flagship material of your decoration.
Accessories that reinforce softness…
As mountain vacations are associated with the cocooning spirit, your chalet must provide vacationers with accessories that contribute to this cozy atmosphere.
Place furry cushions and throws on the sofa and other seats for maximum softness. After a day of skiing or walking in the snow, your customers will be delighted to be able to slip under a blanket while enjoying a hot chocolate, especially if you have a fireplace.
In the bedroom also remember to add nice warm blankets as well as a throw. Don’t forget the rugs because it’s always nice to walk on them barefoot.
…and those who immerse themselves in the mountain world
The perfect chalet also requires decorative objects that echo the mountain. You probably have in mind a list of accessories that make you think of this world: checkered tablecloths, wooden trays, fir branches, typical tableware, mountain photos…
try stay as close to nature as possible and avoid accumulating objects. Choose natural colors such as gray, white and beige, which will be highlighted by beautiful materials. Avoid bright, garish colors which will not mix with natural materials. Skis, sleds and even boots are among the objects that evoke the mountain.
Elements that bring comfort
You must not forget that your chalet is intended for vacation rental, which means that you must not neglect the comfort of those who will stay there. Think about simple but essential things while remaining in this desire to succeed in your interior decoration.
As in all accommodations, lighting is really important. To stay in this mountain spirit, install a beautiful light garland which will have the effect of softening the atmosphere of the room. Other slightly more powerful light sources will need to be added so that your vacationers can engage in all their activities. In another style, candles will warm up the room and transform your chalet into a romantic home. Lanterns are also linked to the mountain style, you can place them almost everywhere in your chalet, from the smallest on a bedside table to the largest in the living room.
Plan enough seats so that all your vacationers can be seated at the same time. Increase the comfort of their stay by thinking, for example, of a wooden ladder in the bathroom to hang out towels, of a small welcome tray with typical products…
Thanks to these few ideas you have all the cards in hand to successfully decorate the interior of your mountain chalet. Vacationers will have an excellent stay.
