Design and Stage Your Rental + Staging Checklist

This year, more than ever, guests are looking for a complete getaway. They want a relaxing (and very clean!) escape from the craziness of this year.

Your listing is the first impression your rental makes on a potential guest. From the crisp linens to the cozy reading chair, furnishing your home plays a vital role in attracting guests. Here are some tips for turning your vacation rental into the escape that travelers are craving!

1.) Make your listing stand out!

Photos are the FIRST thing that potential guests see when they are planning their vacation. The thumbnail that you choose must show a clean, luxurious, and inviting space. We can help get your there with professional design and photography as well as a listing that’s professionally written.

2.) Consider the Details

Travelers are looking for a home that feels minimal and clean but that also provides exclusive amenities. They’re looking for homes that can provide specific experiences like a twinkly outdoor meal, a cozy reading session by the fire, a beach walk complete with to-go coffee mugs. Think about all of the things that you would want if you could step into your guest’s shoes and make a way to create those experiences!

3.) Invest in the Important Things

No matter your budget, you can turn your space into a luxury rental with strategic investments. Focus on:

• Beds and linens - We’d say this is the most important investment as it’s what makes your guests feel like they’re in a home away from home. A quality bed frame, mattress, and linens will go a LONG way.

• Main Room Sofa - Invest in a couch that wont sink or pill after a few stays.

• Lighting Fixtures - Lighting can alter the mood and perceived size of a space. It should be one of the main considerations when designing your home.
