Let’s be honest — first impressions matter, especially when it comes to Airbnb guests. The scroll-stopping photos. The cozy vibe. The furniture that actually looks intentional. If your space is starting to feel more “meh” than “wow,” it might be time for a paint-powered refresh — and Country Chic Paint has just what you need.
Whether you’re flipping furniture on a budget, or simply want to inject some personality into your rental, a few well-placed paint projects can completely transform your Airbnb’s style (and boost those five-star reviews).
Ready to glow-up your space? Here are a few dreamy DIY style vibes to inspire your next painted project:
Coastal Chill
Light, breezy, and beach-house fresh — even if you’re in the middle of the city. Use Simplicity for crisp white accents, pair it with Pebble Beach or Soiree for a sandy neutral tone, and top off a piece or two in Little Bluebird or Fancy Frock to channel those sea glass vibes.
Perfect for:
- Painted headboards, nightstands, or side tables
- Entryway benches or shelving for a light + airy welcome
- Bathroom vanities that pop with spa-like charm
Modern Boho
A little eclectic, a little earthy, and full of good energy. Create a boho vibe using warm neutrals like Sunday Tea or Road Trip then add a punch of mood with Sage Advice or Opulence on a dresser or vanity. Bonus points for mixing textures with wood, rattan, and greenery.
Try painting:
- Floating shelves for a statement wall
- Low-profile coffee tables in moody matte tones
- Thrifted chairs in soft sage or dusty rose for personality-packed corners
Moody & Luxe
Want your space to feel like a boutique hotel? Go bold. Think Liquorice or Paint The Town for an upscale, dramatic touch. These deeper shades make an impact and photograph so well (hello, booking boost). Pair with gold hardware, layered lighting, and plush textures.
Glow-up ideas:
- Paint nightstands or end tables to create contrast
- Accent a console table or built-in shelving in a bold color
- Give your front door or guest room a pop of moody sophistication
Soft Cottage Vibes
Romantic and sweet, this style is all about delicate colors and vintage charm. Use Ooh La La La or Bee's Knees to create a storybook-inspired escape. This look works beautifully with curved furniture, floral prints, and cozy textiles.
Perfect pieces to paint:
- Tea tables, vanities, or antique chairs
- Kitchen hutches or cabinets
- Wooden crates or boxes for towel and linen storage
Minimalist Earthy
Clean lines. Natural tones. Effortless style. For the modern host who wants calm, uncluttered vibes with personality. Colors like Cheesecake, Lazy Linen or String Of Pearls to give that warm but minimal feel. Add a little Envious if you’re feeling bold.
Try painting:
- A simple, smooth dresser with matte clear coat
- Floating nightstands in creamy neutrals
- Wooden stools or plant stands for subtle visual interest
No matter the vibe, finish your pieces with a Country Chic Clear Coat to lock in that fresh look and protect from guest wear-and-tear. It’s the little detail that keeps your pieces looking new for longer (and helps you avoid redoing them after every season).
Ready for That Glow-Up?
With just a brush, a can of Country Chic Paint, and a little creative spark, your Airbnb can go from basic to booked. Choose your vibe, pick your palette, and start flipping those furniture pieces into guest-worthy works of art.
Because when your space feels intentional, your guests feel at home — and that’s what keeps them coming back (and leaving glowing reviews).
