With construction buzzing year round in BC, Ski Resort Decor is seasonable in the 'off season'! Obviously spring is the time for getting a great head start on chalet, condo & cabin interiors outfitting & arrangement ready to go for the snow season in November.

The rush is really on in the autumn. I've met the 'snowfall' deadlines, but with a lot of scurrying!   

Svelt Italian Modern decor is making appearances at the resorts. However, if you own a rental property, you likely well know that skiers are rough on rental and lodge properties. Certainly you would not use glass, or otherwise sleek smooth surfaces in these interiors for ski boots & gear to be landing on and scraped across!

It is always best to consider rustic durable style from the start. Rustic and western decor is best suited in any case to the rugged mountain terrain.

Some Definite Interior Applications to consider, especially for entries & traffic areas where gear and boots get banged around: 

  • Panelled walls traditionally used, even just applied on the lower wall, take wear and tear far more gracefully and are repaired more easily than drywall.  
  • Tile floors uphold better to ski boots, than linoleum or wooden floors.

Deborah, I had never really thought about how to decorate these spaces, we don't see them around here.  Your suggestions sound practical and wonderful.

Hi Carole - Ski Resort properties, especially chalets and units that are rentals require special considerations frequently not thought of in advance. Sometimes it isn't until damages occur, that owners see some of the wisdom of practical decor applications.
