Speaker A (Mark Simpson) describes installing a premium, hand-painted-mural-style wallpaper in a previously small, narrow, and uninteresting dining room. The wallpaper transformed the space into a striking focal wall that guests comment on and photograph; the host uses these images to improve direct booking and OTA listings. The segment links interior design choices to improved guest impressions and online presentation.

We installed wallpaper that looked like a hand painted mural. And sure, it was a little bit more premium of a product to install, but this dining room that we installed it in was, again, really tiny, really narrow, and didn't have any interest. And now you have this gorgeous, stunning wall that our guests always comment on. The kitchen and the dining room, like truly the two most boring places in the house when we purchased it. But now people ask us if it's a hand painted mural, they take photos in front of it. And that's what we're looking for, is something cool and something unique that translates onto film to get that interest. Because really, if you think about posting on your direct booking website or on any of the other OTA platforms, you have this storefront and it's all told. The story is pulled through these photos, and that comes back to your design.
