Wall art for vacation rentals: How to make Airbnb photos look more high-end

Most vacation rentals do not fail online because of their location, price, or amenities.

But rather because of the first visual impression.

On platforms like Airbnb or Booking, guests often decide in a matter of seconds whether to click or keep scrolling. Photos are one of the strongest levers for gaining more attention and more bookings. High-quality images can significantly increase your booking rate.

This is exactly where the right wall design makes all the difference.

Empty white walls quickly look interchangeable in photos.
A custom-made textile wall mural instantly creates:

  • more atmosphere
  • more recognizability
  • a higher-quality boutique hotel look
  • stronger cover photos for Airbnb
  • a calmer sense of space

Why wall murals are so effective in Airbnb photos

The cover photo is your strongest sales tool.

Guests first click on rooms that appear:

  • bright
  • calm
  • high-quality
  • thoughtfully designed

That is exactly what compelling interior photos of successful vacation rentals show time and again.

A large-format wall mural behind a sofa, bed, or dining table creates:

  • visual depth
  • a focal point in the room
  • a clear style
  • more "Instagrammability"

Modern apartments with smooth floors, concrete, white walls, and large window surfaces benefit enormously from this.

Which wall mural size works best in vacation rentals

For photos on Airbnb, the following work particularly well:

  • Above the sofa: 120 × 80 cm to 150 × 100 cm
  • Above the bed: 140 × 100 cm
  • Dining area: 100 × 70 cm to 120 × 80 cm
  • Entrance area: vertical formats such as 60 × 90 cm

Large formats look higher quality in listing photos than small decorative pictures.

For ama walls, this is a huge advantage because you can offer custom-made formats for every wall size.

Boutique hotel look instead of a standard vacation rental

If you want to achieve higher prices, you have to stand out visually.

Textile wall murals create exactly that effect:
They make rooms look more curated, high-end, and emotional.

The following work particularly well:

  • Nature motifs
  • calm abstract art
  • minimalist architectural motifs
  • large-format landscapes
  • Art-from-Space as a statement piece for modern apartments

Your Space collection, in particular, can create a real signature look in vacation rentals.

Additional benefit: a more pleasant room environment

Beyond the visual effect in photos, textile wall design also improves the atmosphere in the room.

Optionally, the integrated acoustic material can dampen harsh sound reflections – especially valuable in open-plan living/dining areas, lofts, or apartments with tile and glass surfaces.

The result:
The room not only looks calmer in photos, but also feels more pleasant for guests.

Conclusion: More bookings often start on the wall

If you want your vacation rental to appear more high-end online, wall murals are one of the fastest levers.

They improve:

  • the visual impact on Airbnb
  • recognizability
  • price perception
  • the feeling of the room on-site

And that is precisely what pays off directly in more clicks and better bookings.

With ama walls, you can design wall murals made to measure, interchangeable, and optionally with acoustic functionality – ideal for modern vacation properties.
