Most people associate glamping pods with summer holidays. But if you invest in high quality pods with good insulation, they can bring you income all year. And if you’re willing to put in the effort for a festive transformation, you may just find that Christmas is your busiest period!
Six Tips for a Christmas Glamping Pod Transformation
Think cosy
To get that festive feeling, your glamping pods need to feel snug. So, forget about the bare boards and airy spaces. Bring in throws and rugs. Use faux-fur wall hangings. Add festive or fluffy cushions. Replace the sleek blinds with thick curtains (they’ll come in handy for blocking out light in the summer anyway). Everything should be soft, tactile, and sumptuous. And if you don’t have in-built wood burners, consider adding in an electric fireplace.
Look at your lighting
Layered lighting is a good idea at any time of year, but at Christmas it can really add to the atmosphere. So, as well as your ambient overhead lights, add in lamps for task lighting, and fairy lights for accents – the twinklier the better! Also consider using warmer bulbs in some of your lamps to create that inviting aesthetic.
Theme your colour pallet
Christmas is traditionally the season of green and red. We think of warm, rich colours, with gold and sparkles mixed in. And this is so ingrained in the public consciousness as what Christmas looks like, that it can immediately create the vibe you’re looking for.
Decorate
This one probably goes without saying, but nothing says Christmas like decorations! If there’s no room for a Christmas tree inside, pop one on the patio, by the door. Use fairy lights everywhere, not just the tree. Use metallic decorations to reflect the light. And place a wreath beside the door to make a warm welcome.
Dress the table
Don’t go overboard here, as the table may be needed for things other than eating. But by providing a central table decoration, so festive placemats, and a battery candle or two, you can help to create more Christmassy mealtimes.
Provide a warm welcome
If you’re going for the Christmas vibe, you have to set the scene. So, why not leave guests a winter welcome basket – hot chocolate, mince pies, marshmallows, or even a candy cane or two. They’re simple, affordable touches that make a big impression.
Christmas holidays are gaining in popularity. Whether it’s a weekend break before the big day, somewhere to stay when visiting family, or a complete Christmas getaway. By providing a few simple festive touches, you can really make your guests feel welcome. And hopefully encourage them to make a return visit next year!
