Design Inspirations for your Furnished Apartment Rental
Are you having trouble renting your furnished apartment in Vancouver or securing the type of tenant you want? There are a number of variables that may be contributing to your struggle, including location, pricing, time of year, what is included /not included, and a variety of other elements. Some of these circumstances, such as location and time of year, simply are what they are and you need to find a way to work with it. Other elements are entirely within your control. Consider the interior design and presentation of your furnished apartment rental. With tasteful, intelligent design and well-chosen decor, your apartment is almost guaranteed to rent itself.
Start by putting yourself in the shoes of your ideal tenant. Take a moment and walk through your suite as though you’re viewing it for the first time. What is your first impression? Does it feel like somewhere you want to live? Are the furnishings and decor well situated to facilitate comfort and flow? Does the kitchen or bathroom appear too cluttered? By looking at your suite with fresh eyes, it may quickly become obvious why potential tenants haven’t been lining up to sign a lease.
We have done a bit of digging and found some great local designers and websites to inspire you. Whether you’re interested in sustainable design and green business practices, or want to investigate DIY projects to revamp your suite on a budget, the websites below have something for everyone.
