Find out how a simple redesign changed the fate of a short-let flat, increasing bookings, improving reviews and making guests more satisfied.
Tourist rentals and restyling: why they are so important
In the world of short-term rentals, first impressions count for a lot. A well-furnished and well-maintained flat not only attracts more visits, but turns users into actual bookings and then into positive reviews. In this article I tell you, step by step, how a targeted redesign brought concrete results for one of our properties - and how you can apply the same principles to your own holiday homes.
The “before” of the flat
Before the interventions, the flat was functional but uninviting. The wall colours were dull, the furnishings dated and the general atmosphere was anonymous and unmemorable for those seeking an unforgettable holiday.
Next: gli key restyling interventions
To improve the visual and functional experience, we focused on:
🎨 Colours and walls
We chose light and bright shades that reflect natural light and broaden the perception of space.
🛋️ Modern and coordinated furniture
Replace older furniture with modern, comfortable and consistently styled elements to create a cosy atmosphere.
🧵 Design details
Matching fabrics, colourful cushions, carpets and accessories reminiscent of the sea and relaxation have been added to personalise the space.
📸 More inviting images for platforms
We have updated the online photos with professional images of the new furniture.
