House-proud millennials can be left unimpressed by dreary decor and unimaginative furnishings, whether in homes or when on holiday.

But, those with an eye for cool interiors and quirky design are making the most of their precious time off by booking a stay in an unconventional location.

We've rounded up the most hipster-friendly Airbnbs currently available to let around the world.

Perfect for stays ranging from a 48-hour whistle stop tour of Rotterdam, to an extended California desert break, each listing is sure to spark all kinds of social media envy with just one Instagram post.

Director Wes Anderson, famous for his striking visual style with retro-inspired colour schemes in films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel, has inspired one fan's short-stay letting in Canada.

Each room is designed after a different film in Anderson's repertoire, from a Life Aquatic-themed living room to Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom bedrooms.

With knitted mermaid tail blankets and long pastel-coloured hair all over social media at the moment, millennials will love Mexico's world-famous seashell house, with nautical-inspired interiors and a private pool.

Voted Airbnb's "most wished for listing" last year, the urban Atlanta tree house, above, allows couples to sleep under the stars thanks to a bed on wheels — the perfect humblebrag Instagram photo opportunity.

Finally, thanks to the popularity of music festival Coachella, Palm Springs is the place to visit in California.

In an area well-known for its mid-century design, entering this bungalow is like taking a step back in time thanks to its cool, sleek interiors.
