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
