 Painting Profits: Colour Psychology in Vacation Rentals 


In today’s episode, we explore the psychology of colour in vacation rental design — how the hues you choose can shift guest mood, lengthen stays, and push up your reviews. 

We cover: 

  • Why guests decide in 7 seconds
  • Which colours calm, energise, or repel
  • How lighting flips a colour from "meh" to “wow”
  • The palette method every host should use
  • A bonus tip backed by data


📌 If you want deeper design strategy, check out the Launch Your First Vacation Rental course — it dives into colour, styling, and guest psychology.
