Frequently asked questions.

Why do I need help designing my vacation rental?

Creating an unforgettable experience for guests begins with thoughtful design. Your vacation rental's interior and exterior spaces play a crucial role in shaping guests' impressions and enhancing their overall stay. We focus on maximizing comfort and incorporating local charm to delight your guests and keep them coming back for more. By investing in design services, hosts can significantly attract more bookings and increase their rental income.

Why should I stage my home?

Only 10% of buyers can visualize a potential space, the other 90% need to see it laid out. First impressions are key! Staging a home can make ALL the difference. It’s not just about selling the home, it’s about selling a lifestyle. A well-staged home creates a vision for buyers by helping them see the full potential of each room and helping them to see themselves living this lifestyle.

How much can staging increase the final sales offer?

An average staging budget is between 1% - 3% of the home’s asking price, which generates an average return of 8% to 10%. (National Association of Realtors, NAR)

Will staging really make my home sell faster?

According to the National Association of Realtors, in 2023, 94% of staged homes sold on average of 29 days or less. In contrast, a non-staged home stayed on the market for an average of 145 days.

How important is lighting in interior design?

Lighting is a crucial aspect of interior design that can impact a space's mood, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. It can create a desired ambiance and transform a room from feeling flat and uninviting to warm and welcoming. A properly lit space brings people in and makes them want to stay. A poorly lit room does just the opposite.

Lighting can also:

  • Create depth and height

  • Accentuate specific features

  • Bring focus to the room's edges, ceiling, and floors

  • Enhance the appearance of products, food, and people

  • Create a shadow-free environment or intentional shadows

  • Transform the shape and size of a room, making it appear larger, if that is the desired effect

  • Elevate a space to a whole new level of style
