How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your garage in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Warm White (#F5F2EC) for walls and ceilings.
- 3Coat the floor with epoxy or interlocking tiles - it seals dust, resists oil and makes the room feel finished.
- 4Bring in performance fabric upholstery and washable cotton and linen covers — the two signature materials of Airbnb design.
- 5Add one statement piece: comfortable neutral sofa with washable cover.
- 6Finish with muted forest (#5F7161) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Performance fabric upholstery
- Washable cotton and linen covers
- Solid or veneer oak furniture
- Low-pile washable rugs
- Matte black metal lighting
Furniture to look for
- Comfortable neutral sofa with washable cover
- Upholstered or wood headboard with layered bedding
- Round coffee table with no sharp corners
- Dining table that seats the maximum guest count
- Full-length mirror for guest photos
Mistakes to avoid
- Storing everything on the floor, which shrinks the usable room and hides what you own.
- Buying storage bins before decluttering, so you organize items you should have donated.
- Leaving the single bare bulb, so half the room stays too dark to work in.
Budget tips
- Declutter first - most garages hold far more than anyone uses, and selling the extras helps fund the shelving.
- Pegboard is the cheapest wall storage that exists and takes an afternoon to install.
- Buy second-hand metal cabinets and workbenches; garage furniture does not need to be pretty or new.
FAQ
Does Airbnb work in a garage?
Yes, with adaptation. Airbnb is not the most common choice for a garage, but its palette — led by Warm White (#F5F2EC) — and materials like performance fabric upholstery can work well if you keep the layout practical and use the style mainly in finishes and decor.
What colors should I use for a Airbnb garage?
The core palette is Warm White #F5F2EC, Greige #B8AEA0, Natural Oak #C9A97E, Muted Forest #5F7161, Soft Black #2F2E2C. Use Warm White as the dominant color, Greige for secondary surfaces, and keep Muted Forest for accents only.
Can I see my own garage in Airbnb style before committing?
Yes. Take a photo of your garage in the RivAI iPhone app, choose the Airbnb style, and you get a photorealistic preview in about 30 seconds on the Standard tier. RivAI is free to try, so you can compare Airbnb with a few other styles before you buy paint or furniture.
Can I preview Airbnb-style makeovers for my rental before buying?
Yes. Photograph your rental room in the RivAI iPhone app, pick the Airbnb style, and see a guest-ready version with neutral, durable finishes in about 30 seconds. RivAI is free to try, so you can test a layout and palette before buying furniture. The render is a preview, not a listing photo.
