Top Design Tips to Make Your Property Stand Out

A well-designed short-term rental doesn’t just look great—it performs better. In today’s visual, review-driven marketplace, design plays a direct role in how often your property is booked and how highly guests rate their stay. At Premier Tempus, we help owners transform ordinary spaces into standout listings.

Start with the basics: Clean, bright, and uncluttered spaces photograph better and feel more relaxing to guests. Use neutral tones with pops of color, and make sure each room has a clear purpose—no confusing layouts or excess furniture.

Invest in key upgrades. High-quality linens, plush bedding, stylish light fixtures, and curated art pieces create a boutique hotel feel. Guests notice these details and often mention them in positive reviews. These upgrades also help justify higher nightly rates.

Don’t forget function. Smart locks, USB charging stations, strong Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped kitchen all add real value to your guests' stay. It’s not just about the looks—it’s about comfort and convenience.

Photography is everything. Even the most beautiful space will underperform without professional photos. Good lighting, thoughtful angles, and styled spaces will drastically improve how your property appears online.

We also recommend creating a design theme or identity for your home. Whether it’s modern coastal, urban chic, or rustic retreat, a consistent style makes your property more memorable and shareable.

With Premier Tempus, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We offer design consultations, staging guidance, and professional photo shoots—all aimed at helping your listing rise to the top.

In this market, style equals strategy. Let us help you make your space shine.
