Are your curtains the right size?

You can design and decorate a room to perfection. But if the curtain size is off, the whole space can feel unfinished. Curtains that hang too short or too narrow quietly shrink a room, flatten listing photos, and take away that polished, high-end look guests expect.

The good news is it’s an easy fix.

My Curtain Sizing Guide shows exactly where to hang the rod, which panel length to buy for 8- or 9-foot ceilings, and how wide panels should be for a full, luxurious drape. A quick measurement check and the right panels can instantly make ceilings feel taller and your short-term rental look professionally designed, without a major investment.

Questions about getting started?

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from short-term rental hosts.

  • Guests notice the difference between a place that’s simply furnished and one that’s thoughtfully designed. We design for comfort, flow, and memorable details that make guests want to rebook and recommend your property.

    The result? Higher satisfaction, stronger reviews, and a property that stands out in a competitive market.

  • STR design is strategy-driven. We design for your target guests – what they’ll notice in photos, how comfortably they’ll stay, and what details will earn you glowing reviews.

    That means optimizing layouts to maximize sleeping capacity, choosing durable finishes that withstand turnover, strategic branding touches, and investing only where it increases ROI.

  • Our STR design pricing depends on the size of the property, including the number of rooms and what each space will be used for. Once we know more about your project, we’ll provide you with a custom quote.

  • We will need a floor plan to understand the layout and scale of your project in order to provide you with an accurate quote. Get started by contacting us.

  • We provide a complete, clickable shopping list with every item sourced for your project. You’ll make the purchases directly, which means:

    • Deliveries arrive on your schedule

    • You stay in control of returns or exchanges if anything arrives damaged

    • You can take advantage of your preferred credit card points or loyalty programs

  • In most cases, clients manage the installation of furniture and décor on their own using our detailed install guide. If you’d like extra support, we can help coordinate with local installers to make sure everything comes together smoothly.

  • This will depend on several factors, including the size of your property and your target guest profile. We’ve worked with a wide range of budgets, from lean refreshes to premium turnkey designs, and can recommend where to splurge and where to save once we understand your goals.

  • Yes, we regularly collaborate with contractors and trades to select finishes, fixtures, and materials that fit your design vision and work well for short-term rentals.
