How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your garden 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.
- 3Plan for all four seasons: spring bulbs, summer perennials, autumn grasses and winter structure from evergreens.
- 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
- Planting for the size at purchase, not maturity - shrubs that reach 2 meters do not belong 50 cm apart.
- Ignoring sun aspect and forcing shade plants into full sun, where they scorch and sulk.
- Skipping soil preparation, so plants struggle in compacted or sandy ground no matter how much you water.
Budget tips
- Start perennials from seed or division - a seed packet costs a fraction of the same plants in nursery pots.
- Divide hostas, daylilies and ornamental grasses every spring and replant the splits for free.
- Buy small - 1-liter pots establish faster than large specimens and cost a third as much.
FAQ
Does Airbnb work in a garden?
Yes, with adaptation. Airbnb is not the most common choice for a garden, 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 garden?
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 garden in Airbnb style before committing?
Yes. Take a photo of your garden 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.
How do I make my Airbnb look expensive on a budget?
Focus spending on the bed, lighting and one statement piece like a headboard or large art print. Keep everything else simple and coordinated in a tight palette. Layered bedding, matching lamps and clutter-free surfaces read as premium in listing photos.
