Our services

Interior design for short-lets

Guests book photos before they book beds. Steph, our co-founder, designs and furnishes short-lets that photograph beautifully, sleep comfortably and survive hundreds of stays.

What's included

Everything handled, properly

Design consultation

Your property, budget and target guest, turned into a concrete design brief.

Furniture selection & sourcing

Commercial-grade pieces that look boutique but take short-let wear.

Space maximisation

Layouts and sleeping configurations that add guest capacity without feeling cramped.

Lighting & styling

The difference between a flat that photographs "fine" and one that stops the scroll.

Theming

Scandinavian, bohemian, industrial Ancoats loft, a coherent look that earns its own mentions in reviews.

Welcome packages

The first five minutes of a stay, designed.

Design is an investment with a measurable payback: better photos lift click-through, better comfort lifts reviews, and both lift your nightly rate.

Design projects are available on their own, and many clients go on to hand us the running of the home too, through our Airbnb management in Manchester.

FAQ

Common questions about interior design

Do you only design properties you manage?

No, design and furnishing projects are available standalone. Many clients come for the design and stay for the management.

What does a typical project cost?

It depends on the property size and how much is being furnished from scratch. After a consultation you get an itemised budget before anything is ordered, no surprises.

How long does a furnishing project take?

A one or two-bed apartment is typically design-to-photo-ready in 2–4 weeks, depending on lead times.

Will design really change my revenue?

Yes, listing photos are the single biggest driver of click-through and conversion. A well-designed property also commands a higher nightly rate and wins repeat guests.
