Interior Outfitting for Short-Term Rentals

Why interior outfitting is different from interior design

Interior outfitting is not traditional interior design.

Classic interior design is often created to impress in person, suit an owner’s personal taste, or prepare a home for resale. While that approach works for owner-occupied homes, it frequently under
performs on Airbnb and short-term rental platforms.

Interior outfitting is about performance.

    • Visual impact in listing photos

    • Broad guest appeal (not niche taste)

    • Furniture and finishes that are durable and easy to maintain

    • Layouts that work for short stays

    • Design decisions that support higher occupancy and better reviews

    • Looks good in person but photographs poorly

    • Prioritises aesthetics over function

    • Uses materials not suited to high guest turnover

    • Designed for one owner, not thousands of guests

At Furnish & Co., every furnishing decision is made with short-term
rental demand and return on investment in mind.
