Renovating a holiday home is different from renovating a normal family residence. The objective is not only to create a beautiful property but also to create an experience that encourages guests to book, enjoy their stay, leave positive reviews and return. Whether the property is located in Diani, Watamu, Naivasha, Nanyuki or another destination, the renovation should focus on comfort, durability, visual appeal and ease of maintenance.
Start With the Guest Experience
Before choosing tiles or paint colours, consider what guests actually need.
Ask:
- Is the arrival experience attractive?
- Are bedrooms comfortable?
- Are bathrooms modern and clean?
- Is there enough storage?
- Is lighting adequate?
- Are outdoor areas usable?
- Can the property withstand frequent guest turnover?
These questions should guide the renovation.
Make Bedrooms Comfortable and Photogenic
Bedrooms are among the most important spaces in holiday accommodation.
Consider:
- Comfortable beds
- Quality headboards
- Custom wardrobes
- Bedside lighting
- Blackout curtains
- Feature walls
- Durable flooring
- Charging points
The room should also photograph well because online property images strongly influence prospective guests.
Upgrade Bathrooms
A dated bathroom can reduce the perceived quality of an otherwise attractive holiday property. Modern bathrooms can include large-format tiles, walk-in showers, frameless glass, floating vanities, illuminated mirrors, quality sanitary fittings and effective ventilation.
Suimas provides complete bathroom renovation services including waterproofing, tiling, shower installations, vanity units and plumbing upgrades.
Create an Attractive Kitchen
Holiday guests increasingly appreciate properties where they can prepare meals.
A practical holiday kitchen should include sufficient storage, durable countertops, a good sink, reliable plumbing, appropriate appliances and functional lighting. Open-plan kitchens can also make smaller holiday properties feel more spacious.
Improve the Outdoor Experience
For destination properties, outdoor space can become a major selling point.
Depending on the property, consider:
- Outdoor seating
- Swimming pool improvements
- Landscaping
- Outdoor showers
- Pergolas
- Lighting
- Entertainment areas
- Walkways
- Driveway improvements
The goal is to create spaces guests will want to photograph and share.
Choose Durable Materials
A holiday home may experience more wear than an ordinary private residence because different guests use it throughout the year. Materials should therefore be selected for both appearance and durability. Easy-to-clean flooring, washable paint, moisture-resistant cabinetry and durable bathroom fittings can reduce maintenance problems.
How Much Does Holiday Home Renovation Cost?
Costs vary according to the property and location.
A simple refresh involving painting, selected furniture and minor repairs may cost considerably less than a complete renovation involving kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, ceilings, electrical systems and exterior spaces.
Suimas’ published interior design guidance places restaurant/café and hotel-related projects across wide ranges because commercial and hospitality projects vary significantly in size and specification.
A site survey and detailed BOQ are therefore essential before committing to a budget.
Why Choose Suimas Interiors?
Suimas combines interior design, renovation, project management and finishing into one coordinated project. Its process includes site survey, concept development, 3D visualisation, BOQ preparation, execution and final handover.
This is particularly useful for property owners who want to renovate a holiday home remotely.
