Expertly Stock your Short Term Rental like a Pro

If you’re a vacation home owner or rental property operator in the competitive short term rental market, this blog post is for you!


Steal our tried and true design tricks and decor tips to kit out your new property STR like the PROS.  It’s all in the thoughtful details. And premium guest amenities make all the differences. Here’s how in five easy steps:

  1.  Use commercially rated furniture, especially outdoor seating and terrace sets whenever possible.  If your STR is located in a resort community, on the coast or beachfront this consideration is critical.  Buy once and buy right to ensure the longevity of your outdoor furnishings. Most outdoor furnishings offered by CRATE Interiors are commercially rated and/or backed by manufacturer warranty.

  2. Stock the kitchen and bar with all the essentials.  Right down to the linen napkins, color matching placemats, chef’s cooking gadgets and premium bottle/can openers, these essentials matter. Using our extensive menus for kitchen and tabletop, you’ll easily be able to identify the must-haves to host a dinner party or cocktail hour at your rental property with ease. 

  3. A CRATE night’s sleep. See what we did there? A restful sleep is non-negotiable for you and your guests. Premium branded mattresses, high thread count sheets and towels plus quick dry coverlets and a choice of pillows for every sleep pattern ensure those coveted five-star reviews after each stay.  Our HOUSEWARES menus were created in partnership with top rental agencies using hospitality suppliers, so absolutely nothing is left to chance.

  4. It’s all in the details.  Curated artwork hung to gallery specs, unique momentos and curios inspired by the region and decor objects chosen especially for the overall theme of the space really are important.  These finishing details signal a professionally designed space to potential bookers and guarantee your property photographs really stand out.  

  5. Move-In Essentials.  There’s more to furnishing a STR than meets the eye.  Move-In Essentials like safes, smoke alarms, keyless entry and security systems, water filters, pullout trashcans and much more are mandatory to finishing off the furnishings process and distinguishing your real estate investment as a premium rental property. Our full-service crew expertly delivers and assembles these during your White Glove Install to maximize time and efficiency, thus significantly reducing the days to launching your listing.
