PROPERTY DESIGN REFRESH

Your Airbnb deserves a fresh start.

Slipping reviews. Stale photos. A space that once impressed guests but no longer turns heads. The Property Design Refresh is a targeted, strategic update — designed to reignite your listing without the cost of a full redesign.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Signs your Airbnb is

ready for a refresh

Your property doesn't need to be in bad shape to benefit. Even well-performing rentals can hit a ceiling — and a targeted refresh is often all it takes to break through it.

Your listing photos look flat, dated, or fail to stop the scroll

✔ Bookings have slowed down or your occupancy rate has plateaued

✔ Guests mention the space feels "fine" but never leave raving reviews

 

✔ You've been outpaced by newer listings in your area

 

✔ Your decor is mismatched, inconsistent, or just feels off

 

✔ You want to raise your nightly rate but the current design doesn't support it

 

✔ You're not sure what to change — you just know something needs to

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO

A refresh is more than new throw pillows.

Space audit

We analyze your existing setup — what's working, what isn't, and what small changes will have the biggest visual impact on your listing photos and guest experience.

Strategic Swaps

No full gut renovation needed. We identify the high-impact pieces — a rug, a headboard, accent lighting, art — that shift the entire feel of a room without replacing everything.

Cohesive aesthetic

We create a consistent design language across your property so every room feels intentional, photo-worthy, and unmistakably yours — not a random collection of furniture.

Guest-first thinking

Every decision is made through the lens of your ideal guest — from comfortable seating to functional workspaces to the small touches that turn a one-time stay into a repeat booking.

THE PROCESS

Simple, streamlined, stress-free

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO

Who this refresh is built for

The Property Design Refresh was designed with a specific kind of host in mind — one who's already in the game and ready to level up.

The established host

You've been hosting for a while, your space is functional, but your listing has started to blend in. You want to stand out again without starting over.

The rate-riser

You want to increase your nightly rate but know the current design doesn't yet justify it. A professional refresh closes that gap.

The portfolio investor

You manage multiple properties and one — or several — have started to underperform. A targeted refresh brings them back up to standard quickly.

The review chaser

Your guests are happy but not ecstatic. You want to create a space that earns raving 5-star reviews, not just polite 4-star ones.

The remote investor

Your property isn't local and you can't be there to oversee changes yourself. Our virtual and White Glove packages are built for exactly this scenario.

The new competitor

New listings just launched near you and they're stunning. You need a fast, strategic update to keep your property competitive in a shifting market.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we begin

How is a Refresh different from a Full-Service Design?

A Full-Service Design starts from scratch — new concept, full procurement, complete installation. A Refresh works with what you have. We audit your existing setup, identify the highest-impact upgrades, and implement targeted changes that move the needle without a full overhaul. It's faster, less disruptive, and significantly more cost-effective when the bones of the space are solid.

Do I need to be present for the in-person refresh?

No — and many of our clients aren't. We handle everything from access coordination to installation to final walkthrough. Remote and out-of-state investors frequently hand us the keys and check back in at the reveal. We document every stage and share photos throughout the day so you're always in the loop.

How much should I budget for new decor and accessories?

It depends on what the audit reveals — sometimes a refresh requires surprisingly little new investment. A targeted accessory refresh might run $500–$2,000 in new items. A more significant furniture edit and restyle could be $2,000–$5,000. We'll give you a realistic estimate after your audit, and our trade access means your budget goes further than shopping retail. Nothing is ordered without your approval.

Can you work with furniture I already own?

Absolutely — that's the whole point of a refresh. We assess everything on-site and incorporate whatever is guest-worthy, durable, and on-brand for the new direction. We'll be honest about pieces that aren't serving the design so you can decide whether to replace them. Keeping quality existing items is one of the best ways to maximize your refresh budget.

How quickly can I relist after the refresh?

Most clients are ready to update their listing photos and go live within a day or two of installation — sometimes the same day. For virtual refresh clients, you can start implementing changes as soon as you receive your plan and the items arrive. We'll advise on the optimal timing to maximize your listing visibility after the update.

Do you offer refreshes for residential homes — not just Airbnbs?

Yes. While our Property Refresh service is designed with STR hosts in mind, the same process applies beautifully to residential spaces — particularly for homeowners who want to modernize a room or two without a full redesign. Reach out and tell us about your space; we'll let you know if a refresh is the right fit.

Let's bring your Airbnb back to life.
