Every vacation home is unique, and the cost to furnish it depends on the size and location of the property. We believe the furnishings selected should reflect the nightly rate you’d like to charge. For a high-end property charging top dollar, guests expect high-end, designer furnishings.
For smaller or modest properties, we’ll select furnishings reflective of the nightly rate yet still targeted to your ideal guest.
For furnishings (including shipping and tax), we recommend allocating $35/sqft for modest properties and higher for luxury properties. Our design fees are not included in this estimate and are priced separately.

Great question! With the help of a professionally-created floor plan we are able to draw your property in our design software and determine exactly what size items are needed. We do require that clients hire a Matterport photographer so we get accurate measurements.
