The tourist season is approaching and competition in the rental market has never been greater. Today guests choose accommodation based on photos, reviews and first impressions. That is why refreshing the walls plays a much bigger role than it might first seem.
If you want your apartment to look clean, modern and attractive, now is the right time to prepare.
Why is it important to refresh the walls before the season?
Throughout the year, walls in rental apartments take more wear than those in private homes. The constant turnover of guests, humidity and daily use leave visible marks.
- Scuffs from luggage and furniture
- Stains, scratches and faded paint
- Condensation and mould problems
- Untidy impression of the space
Even minor damage is noticed by guests and often mentioned in reviews. Freshly painted walls create an impression of cleanliness, tidiness and professionalism.
When is the ideal time to paint an apartment?
The best period for refreshing the walls is late winter and early spring, before the start of the main tourist season.
- The apartment is empty and available for work
- No deadline pressure
- Work can be carried out thoroughly and without rushing
This way your apartment is fully ready for the first guests and the first bookings.
Which paint colours are the best choice for apartments?
For holiday accommodation, neutral and light shades are recommended, as they make the space feel larger, brighter and more welcoming.
- White and warm shades of white
- Light grey
- Beige and sand tones
If you want to add character to the space, one accent wall in a subtle pastel colour can give a modern look without compromising the neutral feel.
Skim coating and repair – the foundation of a good finish
Painting alone is often not enough if the walls are uneven or damaged. Before painting it is important to properly prepare the surface.
- Filling cracks and holes
- Treating moisture and mould
- Preparing the surface for paint durability
Quality preparation ensures a better final appearance and reduces the need for repeat work during the season. Learn more about our professional skim coating services.
Professional or DIY?
Although painting may seem straightforward, for rental apartments a professional service is often worthwhile, especially if you have limited time or multiple rental units.
- Faster and neater finish
- Even and professional result
- Protection of furniture and floors
- Expert advice on paint and materials
Refreshed walls mean more bookings
After refreshing the walls, we recommend taking new photos of the apartment and updating your listings on booking platforms. Bright and clean walls significantly improve photo quality and the attractiveness of your accommodation.
Conclusion
Refreshing the walls is one of the most cost-effective investments in preparing your apartment for the season. For a relatively small cost, you get a better first impression, more satisfied guests and more bookings.
