Let me guess, you have a design project you’ve been meaning to start but haven’t gotten to it yet because it is literally so daunting. You’re worried about downtime on your listing, and losing out on valuable bookings while you complete the project.
This is where I come in. First and foremost, you do not need a luxury sized budget to hire an interior designer! Read that again. … Are you still with me? Okay cool. In that case I won’t bury the lead, keep on reading my 21 reasons below on why you should bring on an interior designer to help with your AirBNB or short term rental!
The Reasons
-
Save time – no need to spend endless hours shopping Wayfair to get exactly what you’re looking for. Designers are a wealth of knowledge and can streamline the shopping process for you.
-
Save money – I know this is a common misconception so I want to dive a bit deeper, hiring a designer for your AirBNB or Short Term Rental will help you source furniture that will last among other things 😉
-
Turn ideas into actionable designs.
-
Turn trends into timeless spaces.
-
Create a unique space that will stand out from other listings in your area.
-
Access to furniture and decor vendors you can’t typically find as a consumer.
-
Working business owner to business owner, we understand the need to consider time and money to getting the best investment in your time.
-
Increased bookings = increased profits.
-
You’re creating an experience for your guests, not just a place to sleep.
-
A professional eye for the key ambient details for your space.
-
Invest in higher quality furnishings – less replacements needed down the road with routine upkeep.
-
Reduce stress – you’re a business owner! Ask for help where you need it – you are a short term rental professional, no need to learn design too.
-
Be able to implement universal design standards – creating a space that caters to anyone, regardless of height, weight, or disabilities. Interior Designers know how to design based on these codes and laws to open your space up to even more possible renters.
-
Optimize your space – heads in beds is a common saying for hosts, and an interior designer can help you make intentional decisions on how someone else may live in your space.
-
Avoid costly mistakes.
-
Increase the value of your listing, not only on the short term rental sites, but also if you ever decide to sell the property in the future. A well designed property will be much easier to sell than something that was created at the height of a trend very quickly (ahem… slapped together is what I’m getting at here.)
-
With a clear budget in mind, having a designer on your side will help you from going into the unknown with reckless abandon. No impulse purchases will be made and the funds will be well allocated to the things that matter, and you’ll spend less time and money on the things that don’t.
-
Wow factor – a designer will help you elevate that Pinterest board into a tangible and well aligned space to your personal and professional goals.
-
An eye on the future – a designer will gather tons of data and information on your project, we’ll have a good understanding of not only immediate, but future goals as well. Knowing that we will design with those goals in mind, so if you plan on staying part time in this home, we will help to be sure it works for just you and can withstand the test of extended use and abuse by any clients staying there as well.
-
A designer is not only for the luxury buyer! So long as you have a reasonable budget, investing in an interior designer is a smart thing to do. We are a wealth of knowledge, and can help you decide where to splurge, where to save, and what will make the most impact for your rental.
-
And lastly, we will get it right the first time. You won’t be struggling with returning furniture that doesn’t fit in the space, because your designer will have gone through the tests making sure everything fits, is functional, and will look astounding.
