If you’ve ever booked a stay purely because it “looked cute,” you’re not alone. From soft neutrals to bold statement walls, these Airbnbs aren’t just places to sleep — they’re *design moments*. Whether you’re redecorating your flat or curating your next trip, here are 5 Pinterest-worthy stays across the UK and Europe that will leave you inspired.
