How to design a rental property?
Design a rental property by focusing on durable, timeless furniture and finishes that appeal to a broad audience. Start with a functional layout that maximizes space flow, choose neutral color palettes with accent pieces for personality, and invest in quality pieces for high-use areas. For vacation rentals, add thoughtful amenities and styling that photograph well and enhance guest experience.
