125. A Road Map For Furnishing Your Property

▶ Watch episodes on YouTube →

There is quite a lot that goes into furnishing a property and I'm not just talking about the money. It takes some thought. A good design takes work and since it is such a crucial element to the success of your short-term rental you want to make sure you do it right. The first place I always recommend starting is with a floor plan. It will save you time and money and also be an additional resource your guests will love (more on that later in the episode).

A floor plan will allow you to make sure you're not putting a couch in a space that doesn't fit (episode 113 we talk specifically about couches). You won't accidentally squash a work desk in a corner that doesn't fit. I can almost guarantee you that if you use a floor plan before you furnish your space you will end up changing your mind on how some of your furniture is laid out.

There is a reason all of the pros use them after all! Luckily, today it's easier than ever to have floor plans created for you so this week we'll talk about a couple of those options as well as a couple of DIY options:

How can I create a floor plan myself
A couple of DIY programs
Where can I hire help to create my floorplan (virtually)
How much do they cost?
Why your guests will thank you
