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.
