As time is money in the short-term rental market, choosing the right Airbnb furnishings and style becomes essential for listings. For a busy Airbnb host in North London, it was important to quickly furnish a two-bedroom flat with a professional touch so that bookings could come in faster and the void period could be shorter.
Why is Quick Turnaround Essential for Airbnb Hosts?
Short-term rentals require more than furnishings. They require hotel-standard presentation complete with kitchen equipment, quality linens & textiles, and strategic yet thoughtful styling that attracts guest attention while scrolling through numerous listings. UK rental compliance, fire-safe textiles, and practical items, ranging from cookware to bathroom accessories, are also an essential part of the furnishing process.
For a host juggling multiple responsibilities, coordinating furniture deliveries, styling choices, and installation schedules across different suppliers would be time-consuming and stressful. The goal of this Airbnb project, as with most short-term lets, was to minimise the void period and start accepting bookings as quickly as possible.
What Furnishing Solution Helped the Host?
Our interior designer, Lidwina, selected the Gold Furniture Package, which was tailored as the base for the two-bedroom layout, featuring long-lasting, high-quality furniture, including sturdy beds, a complete dining setup, and living room furnishings ready for immediate use.
To make the interiors striking, the host selected optional extras as part of a cohesive, ready-to-go package, which consisted of bedding, towels, electrical appliances, kitchen items, and accessories (styled by our interior designer Lidwina) for the lounge, bedrooms, hallway, and bathrooms. These add-on packs were installed quickly and addressed all design needs.
Working closely with our install team, Lidwina ensured the property was styled to stand out in listings and ready to welcome guests demanding a comfortable holiday stay.
What was the Outcome?
Within just days, the two-bedroom was transformed into a comfortable, fully functional holiday home with notable warm accents, contemporary yet comfortable furnishings, and practical amenities, ready to welcome holidaymakers. The client could list the property immediately, and welcome bookings without staging delays, and their feedback captured the experience perfectly: “I had a fantastic experience with the InStyle Direct team. From my consultation with Amar, Associate Director. who led the project to the design team with Lidwina, everything was hassle-free, focused on my needs and executed in a timely fashion. I am really happy I chose to work with InStyle Direct, given my hectic schedule. Thank you very much for the excellent service, Team InStyle Direct!”
