Holiday Airbnb and rental property styling using artificial plants - 7 creative ways to enhance indoor and outdoor spaces.
September 07, 2024
Artificial plants for home decor are growing in popularity for many reasons, one being the ability to style and enhance rental properties and Airbnb without the need for constant upkeep and without the risk of damage to property.
Quality artificial plants and flowers are now so life-like that there is little reason to choose real plants for rental property styling when artificial plants have so many benefits.
In Australia, our diverse range of climates means upkeep for real-life plants can require constant watering, fertilising and even relocation to ensure the plant thrives in our sometimes extreme temperatures.
For renters and holiday rental owners, artificial plants offer an ideal way to style spaces with minimal effort and maximum impact.
Almost zero plant care needs means renters and holiday rental hosts can utilise an investment in artificial plants and flowers to create arrangements and gardens that remain evergreen and unaffected by being left unattended for periods of time.
The choices available in artificial plants are unmatched by real-life varieties. Creating the aesthetic of a tropical resort, country cottage, or evergreen oasis becomes easy when exotic plant varieties are available at affordable prices and guaranteed to last.
Renter-friendly and holiday home indoor styling ideas using artificial plants.
1. Create a fake indoor garden.
A lush green indoor garden looks its best when a mix of different artificial plant varieties is mixed with tall faux palms, potted succulents and even pots of coloured flowers. Arranged in varying heights, the effect is an improvised life-like garden that can be enjoyed for years with little effort.
2. Add taller artificial plants to dull corners.
Taller large artificial plants in decorative pots can transform a dull corner into a vibrant space. Artificial trees and plants with sculptural large green leaves can instantly add a touch of nature to any room. Popular choices for property rentals include plant varieties that are hard to maintain when living - artificial fiddle leaf fig plants are big on the list of favourites!
3. Green walls and hanging artificial trailing plants.
As technology in no-damage hangers such as stick-on hooks develop, property stylists and tenants are able to utilise artificial luxury hedge tiles and trailing hanging plants to beautify a dull wall within the property without the risk of damaging walls and surfaces.
Stunning in entranceways, kitchens, and even bathrooms, green walls can be an easy-to-install, impactful way to add a touch of beauty to a space.
4. Artificial floral arrangements and succulents for tabletop decorations.
Added to entrance hall tables and coffee tables and styled on shelves amongst books, artificial floral arrangements, small artificial plants or succulents can add a touch of greenery that helps give living rooms and entranceways a beautiful, welcoming feel for guests, renters and visitors.

5. Artificial plants for balconies and patios
When space is limited, and surfaces need to remain undamaged, artificial plants and hanging pots with artificial flowers can be utilised to create a tranquil garden space that requires no watering and will not create a mess with stray leaves or dirt. Insects are also no drama, with artificial plants not attracting little critters like real-life plants do.
Using taller plants such as artificial grasses, trees, or hedges can not only create beauty, but can also enhance privacy in areas that may overlook neighbours.
6. Holiday rentals - creating a poolside oasis.
Pools can be a high-maintenance property asset in itself, so surrounding the pool area with tropical species artificial plants and green walls can provide a shady, natural-looking green space to enjoy in poolside areas without adding required maintenance.
7. Lush gardens using artificial plants to create a homely feel in a rental property.
Gardens can be less than lush in many holiday rentals and rental properties due to the amount of maintenance real-life varieties need to remain looking their best, and the cost this adds to property owners is often avoided.
Creating a lush garden that requires little to no maintenance and can also be rearranged, removed and refreshed easily by renters or property owners allows for an instant property decor pick-me-up whenever required at much less ongoing cost and 100% less risk of having to replace plants due to a lack of water or care.
