Designing a Great One-Bedroom Airbnb for Business and Leisure Travelers

One-bedroom units are some of the most versatile properties in our portfolio. When designed well, they appeal to both business travellers and weekend guests—maximizing occupancy year-round.

Here’s how we approach one-bedroom Airbnb design at Cedar and Stone.

Multi-Functional Living Spaces

We design living areas to serve multiple purposes:

• Relaxing after a long day

• Casual dining

• Remote work

Comfortable seating, flexible tables, and good lighting make the space adaptable without feeling crowded.

A Bedroom That Feels Like a Retreat

The bedroom should feel calm and restorative. We focus on:

• Soft, layered lighting

• Neutral, soothing colors

• Quality bedding and blackout curtains

• Minimal visual clutter

Guests should feel like they can truly unwind.

Dedicated Work-Friendly Features

Even leisure travelers often need to check emails or take calls. We include:

• Small desks or work tables

• Ergonomic chairs

• Strong Wi-Fi

• Convenient outlets

These features broaden the unit’s appeal without sacrificing design.

Why It Works

A thoughtfully designed one-bedroom unit:

• Attracts a wider guest demographic

• Commands higher nightly rates

• Encourages longer stays

• Receives more consistent reviews
