The power of interior design: How a well-styled space boosts your bookings?

In the world of furnished rentals, decoration is far from just a visual detail. It directly influences booking decisions, rental rates, and guest reviews. Here’s why and how to rethink your property’s interior to turn it into a true profitability driver.

1. Design as a booking trigger

On booking platforms, visuals are everything. A well-decorated space grabs attention and invites clicks. A cozy, intentional ambiance conveys cleanliness, comfort, and care. Conversely, a cold or generic interior can push guests away.

2. Common mistakes to avoid

  • Clashing or inconsistent styles
  • Cheap or damaged furniture
  • Poor lighting
  • Too many personal items or clutter
  • Lack of personality (“white on white” look)

3. Details that make a difference

  • Natural light enhanced with mirrors or light curtains
  • Neutral color palette warmed up with wood or terracotta accents
  • Quality textiles (curtains, cushions, bed throws)
  • Plants, framed prints, subtle designer touches
  • Functional zones (desk corner, clever storage, reading nook)

4. Create a visual identity

Your rental should tell a story. Draw inspiration from a theme—Parisian chic, Scandinavian, bohemian, Mediterranean… A cohesive palette and material selection helps create an atmosphere that sticks in guests’ minds.

5. Showcase the design in your listing

  • Use multiple angles to highlight design details
  • Emphasize standout features: exposed stone wall, glass partition, designer lighting
  • Add narrative to your description: “Relax on the velvet sofa facing the curated library…”

6. Design on a budget

  • Reuse and thrift: Emmaüs, Vinted, Le Bon Coin
  • Customize IKEA basics (new legs, handles, paint…)
  • Discover handmade items on Etsy or at local markets
  • Refresh existing furniture with lighting or new linens

7. Get professional support
