Furnishing a property intended for short-term rentals is not a matter of personal taste. It's a strategic choice This directly impacts reviews, occupancy rates, and profitability. In Tuscany, where competition is high and guests are increasingly demanding, improvising means leaving money on the table.
The goal is not to amaze. It is convince the guest to book, make them feel good and encourage them to leave a positive review. Everything else is just a side dish.
A short-term rental property lives a busy life. Guests come and go, suitcases, children, frequent cleaning.
For this reason, the furniture must meet three non-negotiable criteria:
Better a well-chosen, mid-range quality than "magazine-quality" furniture that will ruin itself in six months. Sofas in microfiber or washable materials, easily removable curtains, and light-colored surfaces that convey order and cleanliness even when the space isn't huge.
The colors? White, beige, gray. They always work, visually enlarging spaces and never becoming boring. Then you can play with details that are consistent with the location: natural references, simple materials, a few local touches. In Tuscany, authenticity pays more than an artificial wow factor.
The kitchen is one of the most frequently mentioned elements in reviews. There's no need to overdo it, it's just a matter of don't disappoint.
Minimal but complete equipment:
The living room, on the other hand, is the space where you spend time. Here, comfort counts:
A multifunctional table, a few cushions, and well-placed LED lights. Everything simple, everything designed to last.
If the guest sleeps poorly or finds the bathroom uncomfortable, the negative review is already written.
In the room:
A small workspace is also increasingly in demand, especially in art cities and year-round tourist areas. A folding desk solves this problem without sacrificing space.
In the bathroom:
A plant or green detail works, as long as it doesn't require constant maintenance.
For a studio or one-bedroom apartment intended for short-term rentals, an initial budget between 5,000 and 10,000 euros it's often enough to get off to a good start.
The correct strategy is:
Better to start functional than perfect.
There are some that we see all the time:
In Tuscany, for example, it is essential to respect the standards required for short-term rentals, including compliance with obligations such as CIN and other operational requirements. The furnishings must also be consistent with these aspects, not just look good in photos.
Furnishing a property well is only part of the job. The real difference is made by... the integration between strategy, management and operations.
