PROCESS
Design refresh decisions are informed by guest behavior, booking patterns, and amenity trends at the local level, alongside hands-on experience with how vacation rental spaces are actually used.
1. Initial conversation
Review the existing listing
Confirm fit, goals, scope, and timing
2. Site assessment
In-person visit for local projects (Austin area)
Virtual review using listing materials, photos, video, and floor plans when applicable
3. Planning & recommendations
Behind-the-scenes evaluation of layout, flow, wear, guest use, and presentation
Targeted recommendations focused on improving both the stay and listing clarity
4. Review & alignment
Walkthrough of recommendations
Priority setting and purchase approvals
5. Sourcing & coordination
Furniture, decor, and accessory sourcing as needed
Reuse of existing pieces wherever possible to maximize value and reduce waste
6. Installation & styling
Installation and styling focused on real guest use
Prepared with professional photography in mind
7. Documentation & follow-through
Comprehensive Design Manual for reordering and ongoing upkeep
6-month post-refresh Checkup Reports reviewing how the space is holding up after guest use and checking for changes in occupancy or ADR
Optional design upkeep training for owners or management teams
TIMELINE & SCHEDULING
Refresh work is scoped in half-day or full-day sessions, and is scheduled to fit smoothly between guest stays whenever possible. Timelines vary based on property size, access, and overall scope.
MATERIALS
Materials, if needed, are not included. Budgets are determined collaboratively prior to sourcing or installation.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Professional photography is strongly recommended to ensure the online presentation accurately reflects the physical experience. Design documentation images are captured as part of the refresh for portfolio purposes. Limited usage rights for these images may be available upon request, but these images are not intended as a replacement for professional listing photography.
