Did you know you can get interior design services for free?

Many Airbnb hosts do not realize that they can have their entire home professionally designed by expert interior designers. You just go to your local home, furnishings retailer, and ask for the service!

This is such an interesting topic @Theresa811 - how did you find this out? Would this be exclusive to your area in Texas? 

In the UK, this only happens when they're planning a renovation, so you'd need to hire a designer. There are a few design tools that you could use on well known retailer sights though - which often help with the visuals before committing. 😊

hello! Most major retailers in the US are now understanding the importance of having their employees know the basics of interior design. Some, such as mine at Hudson’s Furniture, certifies them to ensure that their customers are in the right hands. I am an expert designer, and I’ve done many projects, but it is free only when making a purchase. Since the customer already needs furniture, it is a considerable advantage. Hope that helps!

I wonder how long it would take for you to start  spamming this community @Theresa811 by promoting the services you/your company offer ????

[Theresa811]

have no fear you will find no spam here. I am simply a woman trying to help other people, might you do the same?

In which case why are you name checking a particular company ... and no I wouldn't use the sales team at a  furniture chain  to design my listing as I wouldn't want to be tied to one company's products .  @Theresa811 

I don't see it as an advantage but a disadvantage to be tied into one company's products.

Many home furnishing stores offer free interior design consultations, which can be a great advantage for Airbnb hosts. These services help you create a welcoming and stylish space without the need to hire a professional designer. Some stores even provide discounts when you purchase recommended items, making it easier to upgrade your space on a budget. If you're looking for affordable ways to refresh your Airbnb, checking out local home retailers for deals and expert advice can be a great option.
