How should you design each room in an AirBnb to increase bookings and revenue?

In this episode, STR designer Cara breaks down room-by-room install techniques that make vacation rentals feel professionally designed, photograph better, and perform better.

This is Part 3 of the Install Day Secrets series, where you’ll learn how to move beyond “pretty décor” and start designing your Airbnb or short-term rental with intention, flow, and revenue in mind.

If your STR looks ok—but isn’t booking as well as you expected—this episode will show you exactly what to fix.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ How to design your living room layout so it feels balanced and guest-friendly
✔ The bedroom setup techniques that make your listing feel comfortable and high-end
✔ What to remove from your kitchen and bathroom to instantly elevate the space
✔ The correct art height, styling, and grouping rules most STRs get wrong
✔ How to use lighting to improve both guest experience and listing photos
✔ The final install-day checks professionals use before a property goes live
