Airbnb Bathroom Supply Essentials
Bathroom Decor
A stylish Airbnb will attract more guests – that is a fact! Adding some cute bathroom decor and accents on the wall is a great way to get people to remember your bathroom.
You should also add functional decor like towel racks. Make sure that your guests will have somewhere to hang their towels after they take a shower or bath. You’ll want to have enough space for the maximum number of guests you allow.
If you have a small bathroom or doesn’t have anywhere to install a towel rack, consider adding extra ones in the bedrooms.
Bathroom Signage
A lot of Airbnb homes are not new construction. My beach bungalow was built in 1942 so of course there are old pipes that haven’t been upgraded yet. To avoid plumbing problems, hang a sign like this one.
Now that we’ve gone through some of the categories for Airbnb bathroom essentials, let’s talk about where to buy them! We all want to save money, especially when running a vacation rental or small business.
Where can I buy bathroom supplies for my Airbnb in bulk or wholesale?
There are many online resources where you can buy bathroom supplies in bulk. This will help keep costs down and make sure that you are always stocked up on bathroom essentials.
As a host, guests should have at least enough to get them started. It is up to you to decide what you’ll want to provide.
Here are some of my go to places to buy bathroom supplies for cheap and in large quantities.
Are there extra amenities I can add to my vacation rental bathroom to elevate my listing?
Absolutely! There are always upgrades you can add to any space in your Airbnb to impress your guests. That includes the bathroom. Here are some of my favorite ways to upgrade your vacation rental bathroom…
Install a fancy shower head
Add extra storage and more organization options
Don’t forget to add extra home accessories to get you 5 star reviews in every room.
Airbnb Bathroom Ideas
I always love to get inspiration from other Airbnb owners on how they decorate and stock their spaces! I found some of my favorite Airbnb bathrooms to showcase some great ideas for your own.
Pinterest is a great resource to find bathroom ideas. Also, do a quick search for your area on the Airbnb website and see what other owners are doing with their bathrooms. It’s great to hold a high standard and exceed the expectations of other vacation rentals around you.
