Shifting lenses: Airbnb shares dreamy views and downloadable backgrounds providing a change of scenery while indoors.

While we continue to adapt to the new normal of spending more time indoors, people are opting to stay connected virtually. And what better way to start a conversation than to change up your day-to-day scenery behind you.

From a real-life Balian treehouse to a calming oceanfront cottage in Havana, this sampling of Airbnb homes comes with stellar views and they’re available to download to transport you to wherever you virtually want to go.

We’ve also added a couple of extra unique ones to round out the virtual background collection.
