Techniques
Photo-led card with bleed image
The signature Airbnb listing card: a photo that bleeds to the card's rounded edges, followed by compact text content below. No internal border between photo and text — the image does the selling.
.listing-card {
border-radius: 12px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #ebebeb;
box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(72, 72, 72, 0.06);
transition: box-shadow 250ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1),
transform 250ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
}
.listing-card:hover {
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(72, 72, 72, 0.1);
transform: translateY(-2px);
}
.listing-card img {
width: 100%;
aspect-ratio: 4 / 3;
object-fit: cover;
display: block;
}
.listing-card .content {
padding: 12px 0 0;
}
Rausch coral pill button
The warm coral CTA with full-radius pill shape, used for the primary search action and key conversion points.
.btn-coral-pill {
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 48px;
padding: 0 24px;
background: #ff5a5f;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: 'Manrope', sans-serif;
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 1rem;
border: none;
border-radius: 9999px;
cursor: pointer;
transition: background 120ms ease;
}
.btn-coral-pill:hover {
background: #e6464b;
}
.btn-coral-pill:focus-visible {
outline: none;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(255, 90, 95, 0.25);
}
Warm filled input
Airbnb's characteristic soft-filled input field: a light warm grey background instead of stark white, with rounded corners and a subtle border that darkens on focus.
.input-warm {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px 16px;
font-family: 'Manrope', sans-serif;
font-size: 1rem;
color: #484848;
background: #f7f7f7;
border: 1px solid #ebebeb;
border-radius: 8px;
transition: border-color 120ms ease;
}
.input-warm::placeholder {
color: #8e8e8e;
}
.input-warm:focus {
outline: none;
border-color: #484848;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(72, 72, 72, 0.08);
}
