Holiday Rental Design Service
Make your listing stand out. Make your guests fall in love before they even arrive.
Short-term lets live or die by first impressions. A beautifully styled space and professional imagery can mean the difference between a fully booked calendar and tumbleweed. Applemoon Interiors brings together design expertise, a deep understanding of period properties, and professional photography to help hosts elevate their listings quickly and efficiently.
​
Why This Service Exists
​
Airbnb guests scroll fast. They’re comparing your property with dozens of others in seconds. A tighter layout, a smarter colour story, a softer textile here, a better-placed lamp there, and suddenly your space feels intentional rather than accidental. Add strong photography and your listing starts to carry real weight in the sea of sameness.
We help hosts create that shift without major renovations or eye-watering budgets.

WHAT WE OFFER
01
Design Assessment & Styling Advice
A focused walkthrough of your property (in person or virtual) to identify instant wins.
What we look at:
• Layout flow and furniture positioning
• Colour cohesion and lighting opportunities
• How to add character without adding clutter
• Small, high-impact updates to boost perceived value
• Quick swaps and additions that guests actually notice
You’ll receive a tailored report outlining your opportunities room by room.
03
Professional Photography
This is where hosts leap ahead of the competition.
With Abigail’s photography background, your listing gains:
• Bright, clean, editorial-style images
• Emphasis on spatial flow
• Shots that tell a story rather than simply document a room
• Detail photos that create mood and emotional pull
Photography is included as an optional add-on or as part of a full package.
02
Curated Shopping List
If you’d like help sourcing everything, we’ll put together a ready-to-go shopping list that fits your budget and the style of your property.
Expect:
• Click-to-buy items
• Budget and premium options
• Notes on placement and styling
• Guidance on durability for guest-heavy use
04
Staging & On-Site Styling
Once your design plan is agreed, we can come in and style the space ourselves before photography.
This option is ideal for hosts who want their property presented at its absolute best but don’t have time to faff with cushions, bedding, throws, or last-minute details.
What we do:
• Hands-on staging of each room
• Accessorising and layout tweaks
• Bed styling and linen presentation
• Lighting adjustments for warmth and clarity
• Removal of visual distractions
• Final walkthrough to ensure the space photographs beautifully
It’s the closest thing to having a mini magazine crew treat your property like a feature shoot.
What our clients are saying
Kim and her Team have made many curtains for me over the years (different styles, materials, headers etc) for both period and contemporary properties. In addition, I have used her services for cushions, lamp shades, roman blinds and resurrecting 'tired' stools! Kim has a flair for knowing what I want and advising me on what might work in any given setting. For a house I was selling in 2006, my buyer said she'd give me the asking price if I left the curtains in the dining room and lounge...made by Kim!! In September 2016 we sold our period property in Petworth - the buyer said "I will give you £XXX, if you leave ALL the curtains"...again made by Applemoon Interiors. I did leave them all...but it broke my heart!!
