1. King is King!!! When they have the option, most guests will always choose a king bed over a queen bed.
2. TV/DVD player in every room. Who doesn't watch TV in bed?
3. Warm paint colors throughout the house.
4. Update those comforters. Guests love to be spoiled in the bedroom. Bedding trends change almost as often as clothing trends. We suggest you invest in an inexpensive comforter, shams, and matching bed skirt every year or at least every other year. It helps keep your bedrooms fresh and up to date.
5. Artwork - bigger the better. Remember the days when you could fill a wall with hundreds of small framed pieces and it looked nice? Not anymore. Fill that wall space with large, nicely framed pieces. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it better look expensive.
6. Sleep what you can fit at the table. It used to be that you could get away with sleeping 12, but only having an 8 person dining room table. Today, its better to have more options for fewer people, then to try and maximize your sleeping capacity. Don't get me wrong, you still want to try and appeal to the largest number of people, but ask yourself whether the number your property "can" sleep is really the most comfortable for your guests. Consider turning a room into a bonus room with pool table, ping pong, or foosball. Or make it an entertainment room with couches and TV. Or how about that living room? Can the whole family sit and watch a movie together?
7. Got Blueprints? More and more guests are asking to see the blueprints of our properties. They want to see where the bedrooms are located compared to the living room. How many doors lead to the hot tub? Where are all the bathrooms located?
