The Process
Step One: Discovery Consultation - Getting to Know/Understanding the Client, Vision & Goals
The process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand who the client is and what their goals, budget, and target guest profile. A thorough assessment of the property layout, location, and unique selling points is conducted. Expert recommendations are provided to enhance design, functionality, and overall guest experience. Finally, the scope of work and a timeline for completion are defined to ensure a smooth and efficient setup process.
Step Two: Design & Plan - Developing a Tailored Design & Project Roadmap
A customized design concept is created to align with the client’s vision and target market. Mood boards, color schemes, and furniture layouts are developed to establish the aesthetic direction. A step-by-step project roadmap is outlined, detailing procurement, setup, and final styling. To ensure nothing is overlooked, a comprehensive checklist is prepared, covering all essential items needed for a fully functional rental property.
Step Three: Procurement - Sourcing & Ordering All Necessary Items
The procurement phase involves curating high-quality, durable furniture and décor that fit the selected design aesthetic. Orders are placed, and deliveries are coordinated for essential items, including furniture, kitchenware, linens, and amenities. Attention is given to sourcing smart home features, safety equipment, and appliances. Inventory is meticulously managed, and shipment tracking ensures timely arrivals, minimizing delays in the setup process.
Step Four: Setup/Staging - Supervising & Executing the Property Setup
During the setup phase, furniture assembly, décor placement, and overall property arrangement are carefully executed. Kitchen essentials, bathroom supplies, and bedroom linens are organized for maximum functionality and guest comfort. Smart locks, security cameras (if applicable), and entertainment systems are installed. Additionally, utilities, Wi-Fi, and household essentials are set up and tested to ensure seamless guest experiences.
Step Five: Final Touches - Ensuring Everything is Operational & Guest Ready
The final stage involves conducting a comprehensive quality check to confirm that every aspect of the property is fully functional and aesthetically pleasing. The space is professionally staged for photography and optimized for listing platforms. A detailed house manual is prepared, providing guests with clear check-in instructions and house guidelines (optional). A test walkthrough is performed to identify and address any last-minute adjustments. Once all elements are in place, the final, guest-ready space is delivered to the client, ensuring a smooth transition for bookings and ongoing rental success.
