Airbnb Cabin Makeover – Boho Master Bedroom Retreat
I have spent too much time lately on Zillow looking for A-Framed houses and cabins in the woods. Do you see what I’m dealing with here?

If you are dreaming of buying a house and turning it into an Airbnb, we ran numbers already and -even in the most conservative conditions- it looks like a good investment.
What do you think? An extra monthly income, a paid mortgage (by your guests!), a family retreat to use when it is not booked, and also a black canvas on which you can design something extraordinary.
Well, all those searches have inspired this Boho Retreat Master Bedroom Makeover. Would you like to come stay here? Or even better, grab this design and take it home!
Check out this easy and affordable transformation using just paint, peel & stick floor tiles, and all these key items -available in just two days from Amazon!- to achieve this calm boho vibe.
All products are linked below, so you can enjoy this design at home too!
Step 1 - Make the Room Sparkle
For a modern and cohesive look, I would paint the whole room -and the rest of the house- white.
A deep carpet clean will avoid the expense of new hardwood or laminate floors, at least in the first phase of this big investment. Maybe after a couple of months of income from this property, you can invest some of the revenue in updating the floors.
A large part of the carpet will be covered by an area rug anyway, giving the room a fresh and renovated look.
Step 2 - Enhance the Bathroom
Updating the bathroom is the priciest part of the renovation. You can reduce the cost by avoiding a demo and using just paint and peel & stick floor tiles. (Linked below!)
The new utility white sink gives the bathroom a whole new look. A wood-framed mirror helps to soften the metals used for the sink and the fixture lighting. The accessories add functionality, storage, and bring to life the space!
The black pops of color balance the predominant white in this bohemian look.

Step 3 - Master Bedroom Design
A large area rug covers the carpet, updating the look. The wooden bed, plus all the bedding textile layers bring a warm look to the room. A modern nightstand with a brass lamp adds a sophisticated touch of shine.
Step 4 - Reading Nook
Let’s take advantage of the space by the window to design a reading nook! A chair with a reading lamp, plus a side table are the perfect trio. The table by the chair is essential to ensure the nook’s functionality, giving you a space to place a drink while reading, or to rest your book when you are done.
The wood and chunky side table match the beams on the ceiling.
Large plants are essential to achieve a bohemian look. Also, they break lines and add warmth and movement to the space.
On the other wall, a modern selection of framed art defines this reading corner.
Hoping these ideas inspire you for your next dream design and bring cheer into your home!
Absolutely brilliant tips. Thank you so much sharing. We had an old rental we bought a few years ago and finally decided to stop doing the long-term rental thing in favor of an AirBNB. Your master bedroom tips specifically helped us out big time! As part of our redesign, we even refinished the wood floor and then got a nice area rug to keep it safe and beautiful.
I’m so happy these tips helped you! Refinishing the floors would take it to another level!
