In an interview with Sutochno.ru, Elena told what helps to create coziness for guests, why professional housing photography is necessary, and why she and her husband opened their laundry.
“If we do it well, we will succeed”
– Elena, did you consciously focus on the appearance of the properties when you started doing daily rentals?
– We got our first apartment in 2020. It’s an apartment on Kuibysheva Street . At first, it wasn’t clear whether we should rent it out lebanon telegram data on a daily basis or not. We didn’t know what would happen, so we just started doing a major overhaul of the apartment for ourselves. The result was a very bright and cozy home.
My husband often goes on business trips, and he suggested renting out the apartment daily. According to his observations, there were very few good apartments in the country. “If we do it well, we will succeed” – under this slogan we started working ourselves and renting out apartments daily. Naturally, everything is being improved over time. We are updating the interior, furniture.
– Who did the renovation and design project? Was this your personal vision, or did you contact specialists?
– We did almost everything Another example is the popular beauty show ourselves. For rough work like dismantling walls and plastering, we hired people. And my husband did wallpapering and installing doors, he’s good at it. We also decided everything about the interior together. I generated ideas, he tried to implement them. He also came up with something himself, and at a family council we decided what would be best.
– Where did you get your ideas? Do you have any experience?
– My husband and I love to travel. We got botswana business directory some ideas from our colleagues. There are also many websites where you can look at interiors. For example, the well-known Pinterest. We also get inspired by hotel websites. This is how visual experience appears, and you want to embody the best moments in your life and objects. Of course, people perceive visuals first of all. As soon as they see a picture, they already understand whether they want to rent this apartment or not. Therefore, visual experience is also important.
– And have you looked at your colleagues in Vladimir? Are there any worthy examples?
– We do not focus on our colleagues in Vladimir. Copying something seems wrong. There should not be 2 identical apartments. It is more of a general idea of where our family would like to relax, what would suit us in the place of the guests. We look at hotels, interior colors, new technologies.
Movie clocks, New Year trees and other interior details
– Can you tell us more about the decor, particularly the wall decor? For example, you have miniature paintings, large posters, interesting clocks.
– Everything happens intuitively. We have a whole story with the clock. It hangs in our apartment on Universitetskaya Street . Once we went to buy chandeliers and accidentally saw a large clock in a store. My husband immediately said: “This clock is like from the movie “Back to the Future””. So we got the idea to style the room like this movie.
First we hung a clock, then a large canvas on the wall with a car from the movie. And above the bed we have paintings with scenes from Back to the Future. Many guests of about our age note these details and write in reviews that they enjoyed being in the interior, remembering this particular movie.
– It’s great that the guests considered it.
– Partly, it is an unconventional solution. I don’t see an attractive element in everyone’s apartment that would attract attention. Although small details are present in many places, including ours.
It may be trivial, but we have photographs of old Vladimir in our apartments. After all, we rent out apartments in a historical city. People walk the streets, go on excursions and perceive Vladimir as modern. And in the photographs in the properties, they can see how the city looked a long time ago, say, 100 years ago. With such elements and techniques, we create the atmosphere of being in an ancient city.
