The Guest Work

Taking the Guesswork out of Furnished Rentals

Deciding to own and manage a furnished rental is quite the undertaking. Not only are you responsible for a property and everything that goes with it, but you’re also endeavoring to create a home-away-from-home for your guests.

I think that’s an important thing to remember: people are choosing to spend their money with you for a place that truly lets them easy. Taking extra care when crafting your rental space conveys to your guests that you care about them — and that’s something they can feel. This leads to happier guests, better reviews and more bookings at a premium.

Make your rental stand out to stay booked

Whether you list short or long-term, creating a space that stands out, stays booked and feels like home is essential as a business owner and conscientious property owner – I speak from experience, as I own and manage a furnished rental myself.

Major Impact

It’s an open secret that color plays a massive impact on moods and emotions, and you can bet that when someone is shopping for an Air B&B or perusing an extended stay, they are looking for somewhere that feels inviting and comfortable – and you have just moments to capture them online.

Once they book their stay, you then need to make sure they actually feel at home, and crafting a well-colored space can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

Easier Said Than Done

That’s all well and good, but as a business owner, often the last thing you’re focused on is the creative decisions – but they matter. Here are some questions to consider:

1.        Why do people typically rent my space – work, tourism, group trips?

2.        Does my current color palette support the moods and emotions these travelers want to feel while they’re here?

3.        Do my current colors stand out online, enticing my ideal renter?

If some of these questions were tough to answer, I can help.

The Guest Work

Supporting furnished rentals creatively is why I created The Guest Edit. It’s a curated styling service that provides a step-by-step plan (known as The Foundry Formula) that takes the guesswork out of creating a gorgeous rental that rents quickly, stays booked and rents at a premium.

From selecting a color palette to furniture and lighting procurement, I work with you to create a design plan that can be implemented on your timeline and your budget. Together, we craft a vision, I distill it down from ideas to strategies, and you put it to work in a way that works on your budget and timeline.
