Skeptical About Virtual Design? Read It’s Top 5 Advantages for STR Properties ...
There’s a common misconception that virtual design can’t compete with the hands-on,
personal touch of traditional interior design. However, as a passionate advocate for
virtual design, I’m here to dispel those myths and share five surprising advantages that
make virtual design a game-changer, especially for vacation rental owners aiming to
elevate their properties efficiently and affordably.
Advantage #1: You Can Work with Designers Around the World
One of the most exciting aspects of virtual interior design is the elimination of
geographical barriers. No matter where your property is located, you can collaborate
with top designers from across the globe. This accessibility not only broadens your
options but also infuses your space with diverse, innovative ideas from different
philosophies of design Technology has certainly made our world a smaller place, and. I
love seeing how it is engendering global collaboration in many ways by bringing unique
styles and visions to life.
Advantage #2: You Can Save Time with a Streamlined Process
The virtual design process is significantly more streamlined than traditional methods.
Typically, it involves initial online consultations, followed by the sharing of design
concepts and revisions via digital platforms. This means no time-consuming meetings or
site visits. For vacation rental owners, this efficiency is a major plus, allowing them to
update their properties faster and with minimal disruption, making them guest-ready
sooner.
Advantage #3: You Can Beautify on a Smaller Budget
Virtual design services are often more affordable than their traditional counterparts. This
cost-effectiveness opens up the world of professional design to a broader audience,
including vacation rental owners who are mindful of budget but still want a luxurious
look. I find immense joy in helping clients achieve their dream interiors without the steep
price tag, proving that great design is accessible to all.
Advantage #4: You Can Source Products without
Shopping
Part of our virtual design package includes a personalized shopping list tailored to your
specific needs and budget. We curate a selection of designer-quality items, from
furniture to decor, which you can purchase directly, often at a discounted rate.
This not only saves you the hassle of visiting multiple stores but also ensures that every
piece perfectly matches the overall design concept. It’s a cost-effective way to obtain
everything you need with the added assurance of designer approval (and you can let your fingers do the walking!)
Advantage #5: You Can Savor the Sense of
Accomplishment
While the heavier lifting in terms of design concept and product selection is handled by
us, the final installation often remains in the hands of our clients. With our in-depth,
easy-to-follow installation guides at their disposal, this hands-on approach doesn’t seem
a burden to our clients. They often share experiencing a great sense of
accomplishment from physically transforming their spaces themselves. They enjoy
playing an integral role in bringing their new design to life and the anticipation of
sharing their new spaces with the world!
Virtual design has revolutionized how we approach interior design, making it more
accessible, efficient, and flexible. We’ve enjoyed helping our clients design luxury
experiences for their guests, including helping them set up the perfect amenities, stocking
items, and turnover maintenance. We’ve also become a resource for safety best practices,
automation, and security services! We feel it’s changed our business for the better by
allowing us to offer comprehensive, creative, and cost-effective solutions to vacation rental
owners worldwide.
