First impressions are everything when it comes to hostels. You want to be able to attract guests the moment that they lay eyes on your building. To achieve this, you need to make the exterior as appealing as possible. This means going all out on the design of the outdoor elements. Here are some ways you can achieve this. <\/span><\/p>\n

Interesting lighting<\/span><\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t show off the unique look of your hostel if it isn\u2019t visible. A lot of potential guests will have their first glimpse of your hostel only after the sun has already set. This means that they will need some good illumination if you want them to be able to gaze upon your hostel\u2019s beauty properly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lights are especially fun to set up because there are lots of different options to choose from. Do you want a flashy Las Vegas style that is impossible not to notice? Perhaps you might want to keep the lights warm and lowkey, which would help attract a different kind of positive attention. Whatever type of illumination you choose, make sure that it brings out the best part of your hostel\u2019s look. <\/span><\/p>\n

A natural feel<\/span><\/h2>\n

\nWhen you hear the term \u201cgreen hostel\u201d you probably envision an eco-friendly place that wants to do its part in protecting the environment. Either that or the hostel is literally green. An actual green hostel is actually a kind of <\/span>combination of these two things<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Plants are becoming an increasingly popular way to decorate the fa\u00e7ade of any building. This is especially true for the outside of hostels, as they\u2019re supposed to be welcoming and charming, with a side of being unique.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unique window designs<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you want your hostel to become a beacon of originality, you need to get creative with every outdoor element. What better way to make your hostel stand out than to play with the design and placement <\/span>of your windows<\/span><\/a>? <\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of modern buildings play with asymmetry when designing their windows. It\u2019s an interesting way to catch the attention of passerby\u2019s without having to resort to flashier tactics. However, there\u2019s nothing wrong with symmetry either, you just have to make sure that not everything is exactly in line like it is on most buildings. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can get that sleek and contemporary artistic look just by switching up the shape and size of the windows you use. Bring out your inner Picasso by using different window sizes for the same part of the hostel wall. <\/span><\/p>\n

A dash of mystery<\/span><\/h2>\n

The windows of your hostel need to provide a welcoming and open vibe, but they don\u2019t necessarily need to provide it all the time. A little bit of mystery can go a long way if utilized well. <\/span><\/p>\n

Every window needs curtains and blinds. You want to be able to keep the sun out when the weather gets a little too hot to handle. On the other hand, you also want to keep prying eyes away from guests\u2019 rooms. A lot of hostels opt for motorized blinds like the ones at <\/span>Marlow & Finch<\/span><\/a> simply because it\u2019s more convenient. Why set the curtains manually when you can do it with the press of a button? <\/span><\/p>\n

A show of the rooms<\/span><\/h2>\n

Online photographs are great, but most people like to see the rooms in person before they decide to rest in a hostel. What if there were a way to show off the room before the guest even steps foot in the building? If you play your cards right, that\u2019s exactly what you can do. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you play around with the lighting and windows, you can basically showcase the quality of a couple of your street side rooms. However, make sure that the guests who rent the rooms can opt out of this while they\u2019re actually inside of the rooms! <\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

Creating an attractive hostel is a lot of work, but it\u2019s something that has to be done if you want it to become the hottest place for guests in your city. With just a couple of unique changes, you can bring life to your hostel like you never would have imagined before. Keep some of these ideas in mind and you are sure to increase the traffic that your respite brings in. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
