A rental interior has a different job to a home. It has to photograph well once and then survive two hundred guests who did not pay for it.
/ 01Spend on the contact points
Mattress, sofa seat, dining chairs, the shower. Guests judge a stay on what touches them, and those are the things that fail first.
/ 02Save on the scenery
Art, vases and decorative objects photograph the same at any price. This is where the budget should quietly leave.
Nobody ever left a bad review about the vase.Leyla Demir · Head of Studio, SpaceUp
/ 03Design for turnover
Removable covers, sealed surfaces and no fabric within reach of a dining plate. Every hour saved on changeover is margin.
Quick takeaways
- Removable, washable covers.
- Seal every stone surface.
- No bouclé on dining chairs.
- Buy two of anything fragile.
