5 Wall Art Ideas That Make Your Airbnb Stand Out (and Get Five-Star Reviews)
When it comes to making your Airbnb unforgettable, the difference is in the details. Guests may not remember the thread count on your sheets, but they will remember how your space felt. And nothing transforms a room faster—or more affordably—than thoughtfully chosen wall art.
From calming bedrooms to bold common areas, these five Airbnb wall art ideas will help you create an experience that looks amazing in photos and feels amazing in person. Let’s dive in.
1. Feature Local Flair with Regional-Inspired Prints
Give guests a sense of place by incorporating art that nods to your location. Whether it’s hydrangeas in Cape Cod, desert blooms in Arizona, or stately bears in a mountain retreat, artwork that reflects your local landscape adds authenticity and charm.
Why it works:
Travelers crave experiences that feel unique to where they are. Local-inspired art makes your Airbnb feel curated—not cookie-cutter.
💡 Try this:
Deer x Daylily Art Print, Bear x Salmon Art Print, Irises Art Print
2. Use Nature-Inspired Art to Create Calm
Bedrooms, reading corners, and meditation spaces are perfect places to introduce art that soothes the soul. Choose soft palettes, botanical forms, or animal illustrations that evoke serenity—like graceful cranes, gentle deer, or flowing koi.
Why it works:
Nature imagery helps reduce stress and promote relaxation—exactly what your guests need on vacation.
🖼 Featured picks: Crane x Cherry Blossom Art Print, Koi x Lotus Blossom Art Print — all designed in Newbury Studio’s signature Graphic Naturalism style.
3. Go Bold in Common Spaces
If your Airbnb has a central gathering area—like a living room, kitchen, or dining nook—that’s your chance to make a statement. Bold wall art energizes the space and sets the tone for fun, connection, and Instagram-worthy moments.
Why it works:
Guests often take photos in your most visually interesting spaces. Let the wall art be part of the memory—and the marketing.
🎯 Pro tip:
Try a high-contrast color palette or a symmetrical trio of framed prints.
4. Keep It Cohesive with a Curated Color Palette
Design cohesion doesn’t mean everything has to match—but it should feel intentional. Choose artwork that complements the tones in your textiles, furniture, or rug. Jewel tones, earth tones, and soft pastels can each create a distinct mood when used consistently.
Why it works:
Color harmony gives your space a designer look and makes guests feel like they’re staying somewhere special.

5. Choose Art That’s Easy to Hang and Maintain
As a host, your time is precious—so opt for artwork that’s easy to install and durable enough for regular turnover. Framed prints are great for minimizing maintenance while still looking polished.
Why it works:
Low-effort decor that still looks high-end? That’s the sweet spot for Airbnb hosts.
