How to furnish a vacation home: tips and solutions for a beautiful and functional house

Whether it’s a house by the sea, in the mountains, by the lake or in a beautiful city, a Vacation Home should be furnished to create that sort of refuge in which to spend your moments of tranquillity, a place to welcome guests or even tourists interested in a short-term rental.

In these spaces, functionality becomes even more important: vacation homes are often smaller than our official homes (which means that optimizing space can be a big deal) and are cleaned less regularly, given that they may remain closed for a long time .

This is why, when thinking about furnishing a holiday home, it is advisable to choose furniture and furnishing solutions that are not only easy to use and to maintain, but which also last over time.

Of course its looks are also essential and contribute in large part to that homely feeling. So we have gathered below some suggestions of solutions that perfectly balance aesthetics and functionality. Here are many ideas for those who want to improve the appearance and live memorable vacations in their holiday homes.

Furniture that transforms and optimizes the spaces of the vacation home

Concealed furniture solutions are as creative as they are practical for several reasons. The first is to optimize spaces, ça va sans dire. With solutions such as Brunch, just open the front of a standard drawer to pull-out a large table for breakfast or dinner. Once you’re done eating, fold up its hinged tops in a snap and put the entire system back in the drawer, out of sight. Voilà: the spaces become larger, free to accommodate other activities.

In addition to optimizing space, it is important, however, to consider furniture that facilitate cleaning. Holiday homes can remain closed for a long time. A table installed inside a drawer or even a cabinet, for example, will be protected from dust and other substances which can damage it over time.

Furniture that use the Party or Evolution systems offer an alternative to those who want a table with legs and with an great load capacity, up to 100kg. These too remain hidden in a drawer, or behind a cabinet door.

Extendable tables to welcome all guests

During the vacations we allow ourselves more time to spend with our family or friends, to have memorable dinners and barbecues in good company. But keeping a large table specifically to host everyone for dinner can compromise a considerable space. Fortunately, there are extendable tables of different types and formats, which are of great help.

Make a huge table with the Surprise system, which transforms a space-saving console into a large table, where more than 10 people can seat.
